What exactly is the relationship between BSS and the Arts & Crafts label?
I introduced Kevin and a friend of mine, Jeff Remedios, and they started the label. And it just became this label to house all the different affiliated acts that at least came close to being related to Broken Social Scene – all people who at one time or another have played and maybe still are playing in Broken Social Scene. So, just to get an idea how Broken Social Scene Inc. works: Do you personally get a cut when Feist sells a T-shirt? No. I don’t get points on her merchandise. I got a songwriting credit on one of her tunes. That’s as far as I go toward getting into her pocketbook. Is Feist still a part of the Broken Social Scene scene? Not so much right now, because her path has definitely taken her to different places. You know, she’s playing the hockey arena here in Toronto next month. She had a really massive single; that really changes things. I’ve known Feist since 1993. It’s great seeing where her career has gone. BSS seems to be a good launching pad for female vocalists. Any
