It seems like Montreal’s various music scenes are finally, officially, back from the holidays. There are more shows this week than we can shake a stick at (yes, that was us you saw running rampant down your street, waving branches and other stick-like objects). Join us as we sift through the chaos. Making things even more exciting, a Concordia video crew drops in on the Midnight Poutine studio to film us “in action”. They haven’t said anything, but I’m pretty sure they’re making the 4D sequel to Avatar.

By Divine Right - I Love a Girl
Jane's Party - No Good for Me
The Wind Up Radio Sessions - Me and My Doe
The Abramson Singers - Take a Camera
Ani Difranco - Garden of Simple
The Balconies - Serious Bedtime

The Midnight Poutine podcast has a lot to celebrate this week. The glorious return of previously ailing co-host Greg Bouchard, the Montreal Alouette’s nail-biting Grey Cup victory and, of course, the last rush of live shows before the holiday break. As regular purveyors of music recommendations, we suggest you spend all the money you have set aside for xmas presents on music gigs, and give your family and friends the gift of love instead. That said, Midnight Poutine accepts no responsibility for major family feuds, rifts, or travesties that occur based on our gift recommendations.

It’s almost December and over at Midnight Poutine, we’re freaking out. Where did the year go? Why did our parents lie to us about Santa? Still, we try our best to get into the holiday spirit with a pretty Christmas carol, some jolly banter, and even a gift. I thought about chugging egg nog during the show but decided against it. Maybe next week.
