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.
