One of the true legends of music left us this week, when Phil Everly, one half of the most successful and influential music duos of all time passed away. The influence of The Everly Brothers is heard in just about everything that we love on this show, so a fitting tribute is in order with just a few of the many covers of songs written or recorded by Don & Phil. And believe it or not, last week’s 5 hour marathon didn’t cover all of the musical highlights of 2013, so a bunch more this week!

Pre-recorded today because of the Matt Epp @ Sunset Saloon show. There’s plenty of new music trickling in, another great house concert coming up, and the return of the always great Blue Rodeo. Plus, since we’re coming to you from the basement, it’s easy to pick out some old favourites that haven’t made the trip down to UMFM in a while.

Podcast: December 22, 2013
It’s time again for the annual university shutdown, where most hosts are sensible enough to stay home and enjoy some down time with the family or get those Christmas preparations done, but where I buck the trend, sneak past security, and set up shop for a good long run! Today some Christmas celebration with Mike Plume, who recently released a fine festive collection. We’ve got some of his music picks, some classic favourites, and a bunch of Christmas music that doesn’t suck!
