The Midnight Poutine Podcast- Jul 1-7, 2009

info@midnightpoutine.ca (Jeremy Morris) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:15:00 -0500

It's another holiday edition of the Midnight Poutine podcast, this time in honour of Canada Day (or Moving Day or Week After St. Jean Baptiste Day, or whatever other politically loaded term we might want to apply). We steer clear of tension on this show though; instead we celebrate some great national talent, the start of the 30th edition of the Montreal Jazz Festival, and the life of the King of Pop.

Happy fete Nationale (or SJB day, as fans of acronyms call it). To celebrate, I've got an hour's worth of tunes to share with you, all culled from shows happening around Montreal this weekend. We say salut to Suoni, hello to another summer of Mini M showcases, and we sit down with Matt Large of Hello Darlin' productions to talk about the Folk Festival on the Canal he's organized for this weekend.

Suoni Per Il Popolo continues to hum along, joined by a few other local festivals (e.g. the beloved Montreal Fringe fest, the subversively-named Infringement festival and probably 3 or 4 others we don't even know about). All that is to say there's a lot going on this weekend, so rest up.

Most festivals are sprints. Suoni per Il Popolo is a marathon. Grab a water bottle and hunker down. Suoni is in full swing this week, so this episode of the podcast features some of the fest's diverse acts. We've also got two pairs of tickets to give away to some great shows put on by Indie Montreal. Listen up for the details.

Montreal is just barely recovering from Mutek and already another one of this city's fine festivals is set to keep our asses out of bed and in da clubs. Suoni Per Il Popolo kicks off tonight with a big show at Metropolis and continues on throughout the month (primarily at Sala, though with Casa out of commission for gigs, the festival visits a few other locations around town). This podcast sets up Suoni and shares some of the other great shows going on this weekend.

The 10th edition of Mutek, Montréal's premier festival for the electronic arts, starts today. But since I spent the last 5 podcasts talking about it, this week's show focuses on some of the other great music happening in town this weekend. Whatever music you decide to lose yourself in over the next few days, enjoy it.

It's a sleepy Wednesday here at podcast headquarters, but there's enough happening in this city to keep anyone awake. We feature some of this weekend's most interesting shows and wrap up our month-long Mutek audio preview with a bang. It's not all fun and games though. A fellow music blogger (iheartmusic) is in trouble and needs your help. Listen in for more details.

Nothing says Wednesday like a little Midnight Poutine podcast. It's sure to cure your mid-week blues and bound to compound your weekend scheduling problems. This episode is extra special because I talk about unicorns.

Hello May, sweet sweet month of May, when the patios finally come out and the city stops smelling like dog excrement. The pleasant change of weather seems to have encouraged a slew of bands to visit town this weekend so join me and the Midnight Poutine podcast as we try and sort out your schedule for you.

Note: This episode of the podcast is sponsored by the folks at Dare To Care records, who are excited to tell you that Pawa Up First have a new album out, today and an album launch show tomorrow. Check out the podcast for a sneak peak at the album.

Have you ever had one of those heaping plates of poutine that at first seems insurmountable, but ultimately ends up rewarding you for your effort? That's what this episode of the podcast is like. Just listen to what we take on: another sneak peak from Mutek, a new album from Patrick Watson, a wicked hip hop show put on by the good folks at CJLO (Concordia's student radio station) and another (the 24th!) Indyish Monthly Mess. Snazzleschticks. I had to enlist a co-host just to help me get through it all: the ukulele-lovin' Risa Dickens

With the Habs on the ropes, it's hard to craft a podcast that befits their dire situation. Still, we try our best, mixing songs of despair with rays of hope. We also look forward to what Montrealers can expect after the hockey season finishes: Mutek is just around the corner, so we're starting a five week preview of Montreal's coolest festival.

The Midnight Poutine podcast is stuffed from too many Easter chocolates. It's also full of new music for your ears, with new tracks by Metric, Young Galaxy and Bell Orchestre. On top of all that musical candy, we've even got an interview with the eternally listen-able Julie Doiron. We're like the Energizer Easter Bunny, we just keep giving and giving and giving...

It's the "I can't wait for the long weekend" edition of the Midnight Poutine podcast. Bring on the chocolate eggs, I'm ready. Excitement for a few days off is tempered, however, by the fact that this week, we say a fond goodbye to the In Their Own Words: The Montreal Sessions series. Mille merci to series producer Martin Simon Greizis. For his final interview, he sits down with local rockers +Kid.

Another week, another contest. This time, we've got 2 FREE PAIRS of tickets to give away to the Life Support Leukemia Association Fundraiser, put on by the good folks at Indie Montreal and featuring local acts like Hexes & Ohs, Barton Fink and more. We've also got our second to last installment (sniff sniff...single tear) of In Their Own Words: The Montreal Sessions, the profile series produced by local audio dude Martin Simon Greizis. This week, he chats with dance-rock crew Creature.

Damn Spam. All apologies for the site's temporary disappearance. Spammers may have broke our site, but they could not break our will. And to celebrate our glorious return online, this week's episode of the Midnight Poutine podcast is loaded with goodies. We've got another in-depth look at one of Montreal's music-makers (FSK 1138), courtesy of Martin Simon Greizis' In Their Own Words: The Montreal Sessions series, and we've got 2 brand spankin' new Julie Dorion CDs to giveaway. That's right. FREE STUFF that will make you the envy of your friends. Last but hardly least, there's the music and mind-expanding banter.
