I’ve never been afraid to go far and wide to check out a good show, but this weekend just might be the craziest yet. Since we’re off on that crazy adventure, this show is pre-taped, but we’ll hear some tunes from the guys we’re headed to see, and some traveling/driving/road songs to keep us rolling. This week brings us some great new tunes, so we dive into some of those. And, next weekend, one of Canada’s finest female singer/songwriters, Sarah Harmer, returns to town, so we hear a bunch of her great solo work and her work backing up others.

Have yourself a very Merry Boxing Day with the first of our year-end, best-of shows. We look at some notable releases and events from the past year. And, since Christmas is a time of excess, we stretch out a bit and go for a good 3 ½ hours!

A really exciting show for me, as I’m joined live, in-studio by (almost) my entire family for a very special Merry Christmas from the Family episode filled with festive favourites, holiday trivia, holiday humour, and more!

It’s Weakerthans week in Winnipeg, as our greatest band is set to kick off 4 shows at different venues across town. While they are somewhat famous and maybe don’t need our help any more, there is no greater songwriter in our city (past or present), so it’s our duty to play a bunch of the greatest songs ever written in and about our town. But, that’s not the only exciting time of year approaching, it’s also Christmas, and we’ve got a batch of Christmas tunes that won’t make you nauseous. Also, some new songs, some winter songs, and some all-around good songs.

Pre-recorded this week as I’m off nerding it up at the big Lowest of the Low show in Toronto. Of course I can’t let another week go by without some more Low and without bragging about my part in the reissue of the greatest album of all time. A bunch of tributes to the greats this week (besides the Low), including a new tribute to The Band starring one of the long-time members, plus upcoming tribute shows to Tom Waits and John Lennon, and a whole bunch more!

Our favourite co-host of all drops in for a visit, as Carter is along for the ride today. Together we kick off the Christmas season, we pay tribute to one of Winnipeg’s best bands of all time, The D. Rangers, who hang up the muckbucket this week, we pay tribute to the winners at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and look at some upcoming shows and one exciting CD re-release. And, because last week’s miserable show was such a big hit with listeners, we play just a little bit more Sad Bastard Music.

We’re pre-recorded this week. We’ve got some great new music from the mailbag and beyond. We also take a look ahead at my dream come true weekend, which is happening next weekend in Toronto. That gets us a little nostalgic and we hop in the time machine to relive the 90s.
