Just a quick, slightly overdue warning that something will surely be missing in your life today. I know I feel a little lost and confused. Tell the Band to Go Home is pre-empted today for a live broadcast of University of Manitoba Bisons Womens’ Hockey. Because after all, the only thing more exciting than amateur women’s hockey is amateur women’s hockey on the radio…
If we’re good (and we’re rarely good), Jared will let us come back next week. In the meantime, what the heck do we do with a Sunday off?
if you’re feeling that void in your life this afternoon, consider heading over to the downloads page and picking a favourite episode from the past, or, God forbid, one you missed and haven’t checked out already. I considered making a new podcast for you today, until I realized that there were literally HUNDREDS for you to choose from already. The iTunes feed (which I realize isn’t entirely up to date, SORRY!) goes back to 2007, and the website has shows dating back to 2002! I’m pretty sure you should be able to find something to listen to with a selection like that.
This weekend marked the 10th anniversary of one of the most important music venues in town (if not Canada), The Times Change(d), and we relived some of the great musical moments to start off today’s show. Next weekend brings Rufus & Martha’s pappy to town, and we couldn’t let that go by without some classic songs. Loudon’s a bit of a curmudgeon, and that led us to hear a few other crusty classics. We had some great new music, a concert rumour, and whatever else came to mind!

T-Bar’s got some ‘splainin’ to do since he posted his wacky Top 10 list on Steel Belted Radio.com, so we grill him on that and he plays a few to try to defend himself. Luckily, our special guests came in just in time to spare him. And what guests they are, Romi Mayes and Jason Nowicki dropped by in advance of their live album recording at the West End, to play us some new songs and talk about what’s going on.
As we prepare to unveil our official favourite songs of 2010, we’ve noticed that there are a whole bunch of great ones that somehow didn’t make the cut. Some years, there’s just too much great stuff, and 2010 seems like one of those years. Much of today’s show is devoted to great releases from 2010 that deserve an honorary mention.
It’s the end of another calendar year, so time for T-Bar & The Mudge to talk (and argue) about some of the best & worst music of the year. We managed to get along well enough to spin some great tunes from this year (and a few from last year.) We also previewed the most exciting New Year’s Eve bash in recent memory, Del does Springsteen, with some classics from Bruuuuuuuce and some soon-to-be classics from Del.
This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of the best damn club on the planet, and arguably our city’s most important music venue, The Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club. John Scoles & his team down there are doing the Lord’s work, even though they’ve got a whole lotta devil in ’em. They’ve given us some amazing musical memories over the past 10 years, and we’re absolutely sure that there are many more yet to come. This week’s show is all about the church at Main & St. Mary, with music and memories galore. Here’s to many more!
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.
