July 25, 2021 - part 1 - Poor Choices Make Excellent Choices

Episode #898

Had to slip in some exciting new music and one big concert announcement, but the bulk of today's show is inspired by a recent trip down to Blue Note Park where I saw Andrew Neville & The Poor Choices tear through a set of stellar songs that had me thinking that Poor Choices sure do make excellent choices, so I stole a pile of classics off of their playlist and threw in a bunch of my own for a pretty solid set of music that'll have you eager to join me down at the Park this week for another sure-to-be-great Poor Choices show! Tickets are limited but available here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/andrew-neville-and-the-poor-choices-tickets-160294359745

It's a pretty incredible week all around at Blue Note Park. Hope to see you there! Whatever tickets remain are available here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/times-changed-high-amp-lonesome-club-18256543452

Episode #897

No need for the music to bring the heat today because it's frickin' hot out, so things heated up quickly with some songs about the seemingly ever-present blazing sun. We paid tribute to the late, great William "Skinny" Tenn, looked at some upcoming shows, heard a bit more from Shawna Caspi who was the guest on Fly with your Shadow this week, rediscovered Storyhill and heard some great new music!

Episode #895

It's the Fourth of July, and a few songs are in order for our friends to the South, as well as some words about what's been going on here at home lately. We've got a big backpile of great new music, including new tracks from some of our very favourites. This past week on Fly with your Shadow, I spoke to old friend and longtime favourite, David Francey, and had a bit left for this show, where he talked about the new music that he's been working on and some of his favourite artists right now.

Episode #894

Friday, June 18, 2021 marked five years since we lost our friend and namesake artist, Paul MacLeod. This show started as an avenue for talented artists like Paul to get some of the exposure that they so deserve. Paul was a friend and an inspiration and like a lot of people, I miss him and wish he could still be here. I put together a tribute to Paul for my other show, Fly with your Shadow, which I hope you'll check out at flywithyourshadow.com or on the streaming service of your choice. Although that one was the longest episode of the show ever, I had much more left over, and it only seemed fitting that the tribute would spill over onto the show that he gave a name to. Today we'll hear from Andy Maize of Paul's former band Skydiggers, Jason Schneider, Mark Logan of Busted Flat Records, and Lynn Jackson. They'll tell you which of Paul's songs they loved the most and which of the hundreds of cover versions that he could perform were their favourites.

I've been super busy with that, so not much time to look up new music or even get through my Record Store Day purchases, so not much on the new side here, but I did find a few. The big news of the week is the imminent return of live music in Winnipeg, as The Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club announced their outdoor summer concert series at Blue Note Park! That lineup of locals is stellar and well worth looking forward to, so I fit in as many highlights as I could today. I hope to see you there!

Episode #892

This week on the show we acknowledge the devastating discovery in Kamloops, spin some new music, including an incredible new song from Suzie Ungeleider that's so good, I had to play it twice. I spoke with Suzie this past week for my other show, Fly with your Shadow, but had a bit leftover for this show. This week's lone request reminded me of a couple of other songs, and we commemorated a few of the significant birthdays of last week and the week to come! A busy show!

Episode #890

This past week Fly with your Shadow returned after an unplanned absence with a chat with our good friend Joe Nolan, and we had so much to chat about that it wouldn't fit on that show, so I've got some bonus content on this show today as Joe tells us about his upcoming album and why he's releasing it in a somewhat unconventional (but totally sensible) way. We've also got more great music, including another roundup of cover versions and some oddball releases that I love but not everyone will, and we end off with a set of songs about strength, faith, and hope, because a lot of us could use some of that right now!

Episode #889

With the NHL playoffs starting this week and our Winnipeg Jets facing tough odds, even the power of music might not be enough for us this year, but we're still going to try by playing an hour of hockey-themed songs. Following that, our usual roundup of great new music, including a whole bunch of new cover versions, which seems to be a theme this year.

Episode #888

We've got another heaping helping of great new music this week, including more fun and unusual cover versions and a bunch of stuff from what is possibly the last Bandcamp fee-free Friday. In hour two, we pay tribute to all of the great mothers and maternal figures out there on Mother's Day, without whom, we'd all be lost. A bunch of mother and mama songs and our endless love and gratitude to you all!
