It's the NHL All-Star weekend here in Ottawa, and I am excited!  I don't normally worry very much about things like making sure I record the skills competition if I'm going to be out for the night (like tonight), or getting HD for this very occasion, but it's in my home town and I have been waiting for this for a long time.  Too long.  Lots of great music today, plus some All-Star trivia!  (Trivia courtesy Liam McGuire/Slam Sports)

The first podcast of 2012! I switched things up a bit from the last regular podcast, and I think things will continue this way for a while. I mention in the podcast that I'm going to try to throw a few more features from time to time; but more on that another time.

Unfortunately, no special podcast planned - just a list of songs I haven't played in a long time. It's also a short podcast, clocking in at under 25 minutes!

Penultimate in the sense that this is the second-last podcast for 2011!  I have some new tracks from 2011 (plus one FROM THE FUTURE aka January 2012 release from AF Music), and some more favourites from 2011 podcasts.  I'm still undecided re: what to do for the December 31st podcast, but I have a couple of weeks to figure that out.

Welcome to the first of the last two podcasts for 2011!  Lots of great stuff this week, with new releases in the first segment and the last segment filled with some of my old favourites from 2011.  Plus, a special timely cover to end off the podcast.

Welcome to another podcast!  I was afraid I might not be able to talk as much for this episode because of a cold, but luckily it subsided long enough so that I wasn't interrupted every few seconds by coughing.  The new release section is a bit light on music, but overall there's some great stuff this week.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!  It's everybody's favourite Mexican holiday, because it's fun to pronounce.  Today's podcast is actually NOT themed around this holiday, but it was too convenient to pass up for a name.  Plenty of great stuff in this week's podcast, with songs coming from Jamendo, the Free Music Archive, and Wired.

Time for another podcast!  It feels like it's been a long time since I've released anything, and in a way, it has.  While I was pretty pleased with the interview with Streets of Hastings, I haven't been very impressed with the quality of the podcasts I've released since then.  I've got a more positive outlook now, so upwards and onwards as they say.  Great music selection today, featuring new releases from Jamendo.com plus an awesome cover track to cap things off.  Download and enjoy!

A bit of a laid-back podcast, I decided to talk a little bit about unicycles.  I don't have much of an intro either - enjoy the podcast!

The bulk of this podcast is devoted to an interview I did with Rockland band Streets of Hastings (http://www.streetsofhastings.com), so I didn't put a lot of effort into picking the rest of the music.
