Steve SchmolarisSteve Schmolaris is the founder of the Schmolaris Prize, "the most prestigious prize in all of Manitoba," which he first awarded in 1977. Each year, he awards the prize to the best album of the year. He does not have a profession but, having come fro money (his father, "the Millionaire of East Schmelkirk," left him his fortune when he died in 1977), Steve is a patron of the arts. Inspired by the exquisite detail of a holotype, the collective intelligence of slime mold, the natural world and the suffering inherent within it-and also music (fuck, he loves music!)-Steve has long been writing reviews of Winnipeg artists' songs and albums at his website, badgardeningadvice.com, eventually resulting in this collection.This is his second book, after his memoir, My Life in Music: From East Schmelkirk to the Stars: The Official Autobiography of Steve Schmolaris, which he published in early 2020, whose poor sales he blames on the pandemic. Outside of writing music reviews and being a professional patron of the arts, Steve is an amateur chainsaw carver, entomologist, and a frontman to his band, The Body of P******. He lives in his multi-storey library in East Schmelkirk, Manitoba.Interested in getting in touch? Steve can be found at @badgardeningadvice on Instagram or at his website, badgardeningadvice.com.
