Episode #415 Sunday, October 30, 2011

All the cool kids are releasing new albums on vinyl these days, and the coolest of the cool put out limited edition coloured vinyl versions, so that nerds like me can bring a bunch of them down to play on the radio, like I did today. We also listened to a few tracks featuring producer/player Sam Kassirer, who heads to Winnipeg this week to make a new record. We heard some folky songs, some rockin’ tunes, some dedications, and some songs inspired by the Neighbor’s Dog.

Dale Murray is one talented dude, and the first part of the show demonstrates that. He produced the wonderful new record by Steven Bowers, as well as the recent works of our good friend Christina Martin, and he used to play in Cuff the Duke, who return to Winnipeg this week. We heard a few requests/dedications, before dusting off a big ol’ pile of vinyl records for a great set of golden oldies.

Today we catch up with our old friend David Francey, who returns to town this week for a can’t-miss show at the Park Theatre. Also, it’s Jetsgiving in Winnipeg, where we celebrate Thanksgiving and the return of our NHL team. We played some music in honour of both, and then shut the show down a wee bit early so our intrepid host could head home in time for the opening faceoff, and a fabulous dinner with the family.
