Midnight Poutine Podcast

This morning I decided to do a little research on podcasting. I’ve been working with Team Indyish recently on the podcast page, posting samples of new work, book readings, works in progress and what have you. We’ve been discussing the idea of creating a bon-a-fide weekly podcast series featuring music and other recorded material from local artists who would also join as co-hosts and contribute to the programming.

Midnight Poutine was one particular podcast that came up while brainstorming, so I thought it would be nifty to further investigate. I had visited once before when my friends in Belleisle had a track from their upcoming album played on the show, but didn’t really surf around that much. This time around, I discovered a bit more about the site, including an unexpected surprise… read on. Midnight Poutine is a blog maintained by a local crew that provides a daily dose of all things Montreal. Take a look at this blurb from their website:

Montrealers need Midnight Poutine. It’s a personal ongoing account of the city’s happenings. It’s a delicious high-fat source of rants, raves and musings. It provides the insight you never find in newspapers and the details and tangents that would never fit in a weekly. It possesses cheese-like flexibility. It’s sometimes snarky, often unusual and always informative. Your order has arrived. Dig in.

It wasn’t long before I stumbled upon Montreal Weekend Playlist #58 - the first podcast of the new year. And what to my surprise…?! There, tucked in amongst the rest of the playlist, was Borderline Ferry!!! My own little song, sandwiched between Rose Cousins and The Von Bondies. Huzzah!!!

Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a treat to see one of my songs in the playlist alongside some great artists and bands including Basia Bulat, Hayden, The Luyas, CPC Gangbangs, Louis XIV, Editors, Hot Hot Heat and Young Galaxy.

I only wish someone would have told me about this earlier so I could have got the word out. But that’s the nice thing about podcasts - they are embedded in our virtual universe forever, so our posterity may tune in and have a listen at any time. So, please do. Go ahead and have a listen…
