Sometimes life throws you curve balls. Take for example the fact that the midnight poutine podcast is going on a bit of an holiday hiatus. What ever will you do? I suggest putting this episode on repeat for the next 20 days to drown out bad xmas tunes, especially the tracks by Vampire Weekend and Apostle of Hustle. Whatever you do, all the best for the end of 07. Talk to you again in the new year:

Matt Lipscombe - Heroes and Promises
Krief - Worries are Over
Vampire Weekend - Walcott
Apostle of Hustle - Chances Are
Major Maker - Last Goodbye
