We’ve been pretty preoccupied lately with looking back at 2011, now it’s time to look forward to 2012. We talked about some of the exciting albums and shows we’re looking forward to, including one of the biggest and best shows, which goes down Saturday at the West End, when Ridley Bent is joined by Nathan and various special guests. Ridley and his guitarist, Chris Dunn, were our special guests this week, as they dropped by to chat and play some new songs.

It’s our first show of the new year, and our (almost) annual super-sized marathon edition, as we get double-sized and air for a full 4 hours. Once again, we start off with our (almost) annual tributes to Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt, both of whom died on this day. We also send out birthday wishes to Burton Cummings and Paul Westerberg, who share a birthday on December 31. Then, it’s time to get into the thick of things, playing more of our favourite musical highlights from 2011.

It’s our last show of the year, and the official release of the annual compilations. It was another jam-packed year of great music, so we couldn’t fit it into our usual 1.5 hour time slot, so we’re doubling that and going a full 3 hours!

We’ve got a couple of great local bands doing holiday-time shows this week, and that’s reason to celebrate. And, we’re still toiling away on those “best of” lists (and compilations), so we sift through some more contenders.

It’s our last show before Santa slides down the chimney, so it’s time for our annual run-through of classic carols and oddball favourites. Merry Christmas to all!

This year is winding down, and it’s time to celebrate. We’ve got some decidedly non-cheesy Christmas tunes, and we start looking at some of our favourites from throughout the year.

Today we’re big on gifts & guests, as we get in the holiday spirit by giving away CDs & tickets aplenty, and we welcome Scott Nolan & Joanna Miller, who are set to record a new live album on Tuesday, and who released one of this year’s best local albums, Montgomery Eldorado.

Here, at long last, is our 10th annual compilation of music that really matters. Each year we go over the huge pile of new releases and put together our own little time capsule(s), and since it’s so much work and since you’ve been such wonderful folks all year, we share it with you.

Below are the links to download your own copy of this year’s discs. As usual, there’s a mellower, folkier disc, a more rockin’ upbeat disc, a collection of the great live performances we’ve put on air this year, as well as a bunch of extra stuff that just wouldn’t fit on the CD version. Don’t forget to download the liner notes and cover artwork, because we’re especially proud of our graphic design skills this year.

It’s been a great year for Winnipeg music, but there’s another great disc yet to come, with the release of Roads and Roads by The JD Edwards Band. JD drops by to chat about the new disc and the upcoming CD release show. We’ve got plenty of other great local music, including previews of upcoming exciting shows by The Magnificent 7s, Scott Nolan, and The New Meanies. And, we drop a couple of new holiday classics.
