Poutine Pix - 180

In about one week's time, the musical invasion that is Pop Montreal begins. Rather than take a week off to relax or fortify yourself for the fest, we recommend checking out some of the shows below, as a kind of sonic preparation. Think of it as a few musical stretches before the big race. There's a great track on here by Foals this week, and I'm happy to finally be announcing the launch of Erin Lang's debut album, You Are Found. It's also one of our co-host's birthday this week, so there's plenty to talk about. Listen in...

Teenage Fanclub - Baby Lee

As always, the real focus of the show is the music, and there's tons to check out this weekend. You'd think the city would be taking it easy in the run up to POP, but nooooo...Don't wear yourself out, MTL.

More details on that over at Midnight Poutine. Ok, here's the show:

In case you hadn't heard, I've been a bit indisposed lately. Apparently twins and Midnight Poutine present slightly incompatible schedules. I pull myself together for this episode though, mostly to say a fond farewell to my co-host Greg Bouchard. Don't worry, it's just for the summer. And we've managed to find a few replacement hosts so you won't have a summer full of radio silence. Until Gabby and Luc and the rest of the newbies take the reigns, here's this the latest episode. Au revoir Greg, bienvenue Rachel et Justine.
