The Midnight Poutine Podcast – Mar. 18 – 24, 2010

Midnight Poutiner — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:32:34 +0000

The attention of the music world is focused on Austin, Texas this week, but we stay true to what’s happening here in Montreal. We talk about Indyish’s Spring themed Monthly Mess, the Artists Against Apartheid showcase and generally try to ignore the fact that once again, Midnight Poutine did not receive an all expenses paid trip to South by Southwest. Heck, we didn’t even get asked to participate in Canadian Music Week. What the eff? Apparently we are not the music moguls we pass ourselves off as.

Grimes – Fifteen Minutes To
Ghostkeeper – By Morning
Field Music – Each Time is a New Time
The Clientele – I Wonder Who We Are

It’s the El Niño version of the Midnight Poutine podcast. That means we serve up a warm storm of fabulous tunes for you. Actually, considering how sunny it is around here, we spend a surprising amount of time talking about snow this week. In particular, we yap about the delightful Under the Snow festival that fellow MP writer Phil was raving about earlier this week. It’s one of Montreal’s quieter (as in under-promoted) festivals, but it’s well worth checking out.

IndieCan 169: Interview with the Rural Alberta Advantage + Music from Mother Mother + Rachelle Van Zanten and More

indieCan Joe — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:54:45 +0000

Episode 169 features an interview with the Rural Alberta Advantage from Hillside and we get Hillside retro with Julie Doiron. We are feeling a little Olympic with some fine Vancouver indie. We talk to Elias and hear from Mother Mother, Rachelle Van Zanten, two generations with Barney Bentall and Dustin Bentall. We introduce Oriel Joans and we get revved up for the East Coast Music Awards. Down with the Butterfly has a video up for an award that everyone should see, we have the music with the message.

It’s a moody and contemplative set on this week’s Midnight Poutine podcast. Maybe it’s because we’re worried about turning 150 next week. Maybe this is our mid-life crisis. Or maybe we’re bummed that we weren’t invited to host some kind of Olympic podcast, that we won’t get a chance to own the podium. Whatever the case, our grief is your gain. Here’s 15 stellar tracks to prove it:

Dinosaur Bones – Ice Hotels
Silly Kissers – Ghost in Your Heart
The Hoof and the Heel – Tigers
The Crown Vandals – Coleander
Sasha Borodin – Longings
El Perro Del Mar – Change of Heart
Phantogram – When I’m Small
Flow Child – With a Stolen God
The Tanuki Project – Right Place
Owen Pallett – Lewis Takes Action
Orion Rigel Dommisse – Ashes from your Burning Land
Kurt Vile – Overnite Religion
Steve Brockley – Late Night Nancy
The Pink Noise – Love for Sale

It’s an ode to Valentine’s day on this week’s Midnight Poutine podcast. We cover all sorts of special showcases happening over the next few days, for the lonely or the lovers. And while we’d like to send each of you a special card that says “Bee Mine” (and there’s a picture of a bee on it), you’ll have to settle for this audio love letter (i.e. more ridiculous banter).

Leif Vollebekk – 1921
