This week marks the return of Fred Eaglesmith, and the Breakout West festival and Western Canadian Music Awards, and there’s plenty in there to play, celebrate, and prepare for. Also, to balance out all that joy, some songs from a darker, lonelier place.

A couple of exciting events to celebrate today. First, the BBQ and Blues festival wraps up today, and I’ve finally made it out there after a couple of years of laziness, and I was really impressed, so a celebration of some great rockin’ blues to kick things off. Then, a lady I’ve been dying to talk to and see play in this city for a long, long time, Lynn Miles not only made it to Winnipeg, but came down to UMFM for a great live session, which we get to hear today!

It is, indeed, beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so it’s time to sound like it as well, as we continue to roll out some holiday music that doesn’t suck. We’ve also got some musical gift-giving options as we listen to some of the best albums of the year, and somehow, I got off on a tangent and listened to a whole pile of amazing songs by some super talented women.
