There’s some great music in and around Winnipeg these days, including the Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans show in Falcon Lake. We’re off to that tonight, so the live portion of the show is only an hour long. It features new and notable tunes, and music from some of the many talented musicians who have put on shows recently, or will do so this week.

Hour two is a pre-recorded hour of “forgotten gems,” where we dig back into the vault to pull out favourites that we haven’t heard in awhile, from artists that we don’t hear often enough.

Sadly, the technology let us down, so the second hour did not air live. It lives on in podcast form, and we’ll try to slip it on air sometime soon.

This week a chat with Mae Moore, who is about to return to Winnipeg for the first time in a long time. Also returning is our pal Jim Bryson, and we’re excited about that, and can’t go without a few songs. We’ve got new music (new Damnwells!), classics, requests, and more!

Our favourite co-host, Carter, joins us for the first time in our fancy new studio, and for the first time in 2011. We’ve got some great new music and some great requests courtesy of our listeners. We send some birthday greetings out to the great Jon Dee Graham, and look forward to the upcoming shows by Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans!

Today on the show, we lament missing out on the Serena Ryder show, and we look forward to the Arrogant Worms show, with a chat with Worm Trevor Strong. T-Bar’s back to making questionable picks, and we finally get around to Dean’s request, and some other rockin’ tunes!

The arrival of the new Stan Rogers “Best of” collection got us started on a set of new music and and clever cover versions. We heard some classics from Lyle Lovett, and a great set of music requested by one of our most loyal listeners.

Today, it’s our Blue & True Valentine’s Day special! We start off in Blue Valentines mode, as we celebrate the great musical legacy of the late, great Willie P. Bennett, who left this world on Feb. 15, 2008. We sure do miss him, but luckily he left behind some amazing music. Sadly, his music is not available for purchase or download ANYWHERE, which is absolutely criminal, so it’s more important than ever that we keep his music on the radio.

For our second hour, it’s some of what you might expect a sappy singer/songwriter show to do on Valentine’s Day Eve (as well as a few oddball selections, right Ron?). We delve into the huge category of Love Songs, and pull out some gems.

We love starting our day off with great new music, and this week’s haul was exceptional. We threw in a few requests/dedications for our wonderful listeners, before heading off into “upcoming concert” territory. We finished with a dusty old pile of vinyl records, in honour of the upcoming screenings of Allan Zweig’s documentaries about obsessive collectors!

Steel Belted Radio – February 3, 2011

February is our least favourite month of the year, but we’re doing our best to compensate with some great music today. We’ve got great new music, classics, and a couple of exciting upcoming shows to discuss. One of the folks heading to town, Tom Wilson of Lee Harvey Osmond, joins us via the telephone to discuss LHO, Blackie, and all kinds of other things.
