The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Dec. 19-Christmas(!), 2013

12/20/2013
We're moving to a new website! Don't worry, the podcast will stay the same, as will the people who do it, but we'll be publishing over a site called Radio Cannon in 2014. Tune in for full details. It's also our goodbye Greg/Christmas edition, and we play some unreleased tracks from iconic Montreal indie bands and some less tacky than you'd think holiday tunes from the likes of Malajube and The Mountains and the Trees. Ho Ho Ho Canada!It's been great, Greg. May Toronto take you into its...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Dec. 5-12, 2013

12/6/2013
We're entering the final stretch of 2013 but not letting up one bit. This week, we say goodbye to Montreal scene fixtures Sweet Mother Logic. We also talk about the beautiful sounds of Erik Lind & The Orchard, Emma Frank, Lindi Ortega, and Sean Nicholas Savage, then get rowdy with Hiroshima Shadows and Canadian grindcore legends Fuck the Facts. As always, it's a mixed bag -- the delicious kind. Podcast | Get the podcast here. iTunes | Add the Weekend Playlist Podcast to iTunes. RSS |...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Nov. 28-Oct. 4, 2013

11/28/2013
The year is coming to a close, but the Montreal music scene is in full swing. This week we're thrilled to play brand new, unreleased music from Sunfields' hotly anticipated second LP, as well as another track from the sumptuous MORI. We also offer a recap of M for Montreal and talk about some of the festivals loudest and latest moments. This is a podcast to remember - especially since we tease a big surprise coming in a few weeks. Curious? Tune in. Podcast | Get the podcast here. iTunes...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Nov. 21-27, 2013

11/21/2013
We're back with more on the twin festivals, M for Montreal and Mundial, happening at the same time this weekend and featuring local indie and world music, respectively. Both are industry events but offer some very unique an exciting opportunities for the public to see big bands in small venues. Listen for some tips. You'll hear music from our local faves, CTZNSHP, who are playing the premiere of Come Worry With Us! (a film about Thee Silver Mt. Zion), as well as Franco pop disco-sleaze...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Nov. 14-20, 2013

11/16/2013
This week, we're previewing M for Montreal and Mundial - two industry festivals with some incredibly cool and rare show opportunities for the public. We also talk about Jef Barbara's album launch, the return of the legendary Mazzy Star, the wondrous post-rock sounds of Mono, and a lot more. Listen up for a little bit of hiphop, a little bit of South African folk, and a whole lot of love/politically insensitive jokes from Greg, Theo, Emily and me.

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Oct. 31 - Nov. 13

11/1/2013
BOO! Did we scare you? We at least startled you, right? Hmm. We might need to work on this. This week's podcast offers plenty of time to devise the best strategies for haunting the neighbourhood since it's a big Halloween double header. That means twice the podcast, covering twice the shows, and with frights at least three times bigger than usual. The next two weeks offer rare performances by musical legends My Bloody Valentine and Sparks, Halloween parties with Sheezer and Saxsyndrum, fresh...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - Oct. 10-24

10/10/2013
We're back, poutiners. It's a post-Pop recovery podcast where we load your plate with two weeks worth of tunes. Settle in as we discuss spamming Hugo Manuel, 80s slowdance jams, and smoking out with Ty Segall. Things get touchy when we contest band name punctuation (you're not off the hook, Godspeed). Plus, Greg and Amie coin new genres (hashtag kill-wave, hashtag disco-funk-tro). This kind of a big deal. Dibs, Pitchfork. Happy turkey day, y'all!

POP Montreal Preview Podcast #4 - Sept. 28, 2013

9/28/2013
It's POP Montreal weekend, which means the mixed salad at La Panthère Verte on St-Viateur will be all sold out, and Aux Vivres will be bumping. It also means a ton of great singer/songwriters and a couple of R&B-heavy, "dance the night away" events. And if you haven't stepped outside your front door, you should, because it's hot and POP is begging you to come out and play.

POP MTL Preview Podcast #3 - Sept. 27, 2013

9/26/2013
Pull up those bootstraps, poutiners! You've gone hard Wednesday and Thursday, and there is no time to slow down. Rally some weekend energy, because your Friday is stacked with Pop Montreal gems. In our third episode of the Pop Montreal podcast marathon, you'll find big names like The Dream (playing with MP sweetheart Mozart's Sister), and Local Natives (playing with shoegaze kings Wild Nothing). But it's the up-and-coming talent that will really blow your mind: Our favs Emilie & Ogden will...

POP MTL Preview Podcast #2 - Sep. 26, 2013

9/25/2013
And we're back! It's impossible fitting all the great bands at Pop Montreal into one podcast so that's why we record five effin' preview podcasts in a row every year. All of the songs included below are by artists playing on Thursday, the second day of Pop, and after this we have one more each for Friday, Saturday, Sunday. On this one you'll hear from Colin Stetson, whose show with Tim Hecker should be one of the fest's most epic events, as well as old favourites Doomsquad, old timey...

POP MTL Preview Podcast #1 - Sep. 25, 2013

9/24/2013
Get ready for the ride of your life. Pop Montreal 2013 starts tomorrow and will speed forward, making no stops and taking no prisoners, until the end of the the weekend. As usual, we at the Midnight Poutine Podcast were insane enough to create a playlist of our picks from each day of the fest, totalling a ridiculous five podcasts in a row recorded in one marathon session. Hear us talk about everything from this year's lineup to tips for surviving the festival to our thoughts on the Polaris...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - September 12 - 24

9/13/2013
This week, with a heavy heart, we say goodbye to longtime Midnight Poutiner and podcast co-host Gabby Lefort. As we send her off into the world, we reminisce with her about her life and times on this podcast and she picks some of her favourite tunes from over the years. We also talk about the surprise Arcade Fire show at Club Salsatheque (Greg was there) and the odd but fun experience that was Oysterfest. But hey, guess what? We have music too! This week's podcast will cover the next week...

The Midnight Poutine Podcast - August 29-September 4

8/30/2013
This one is going up a day late due to some technical difficulties with the site, but all the music is here and 100% functional. This week we say goodbye to an old friend, celebrate a new release by another old friend, and talk about bands we wish we were friends with (ahem, Mudhoney, you guys are cool). This week also marks the return of Greg from dissertation writing purgatory, back in time to give his thoughts on the Polaris short list.
