Rave & Drool: A Chronicle of '90s CanRock

EP81: Spookey Ruben

November 03, 2025 • Spookey Ruben • Episode 81

Note: After recording Spookey messaged and changed one of his playlist picks from Wendy McDonald to It's Not What You Do It's You.

Spookey's 1995 debut album "Modes of Transportation Vol. 1” had music critics praising it as the 'Pet Sounds of the '90s’, we chat about that album, turning down Cyndi Lauper, why his "second" record was only released in Japan and his awesome new album ‘Toronto, You’ve Changed’.
