    From the Vault: Kevin Roy and Carey Buss (2014)

    Technical difficulties this weekend mean you don't get a new episode (sorry), but you get one that might be new to a lot of you: it's the original episode #069 from spring 2014, featuring folk-inspired singer-songwriters Kevin Roy and Carey Buss!For those unfamiliar with the archival episodes -- when I moved all of my episodes from one hosting provider to another, years ago, I accidentally missed the inclusion of a couple dozen episodes from 2013-14. They're not currently on the feed if you're scrolling through the episodes on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/whatever. I've been slowwwwwly re-releasing these over the past few years, and here's another. This one is particularly notable because it has absolutely deadly live performances by each of the guests. Here's what we said about the episode a decade ago: It’s a rootsy, folky, acoustic episode with live performances by guests Kevin Roy and Carey Buss! Both of these fellers are about to head out west on tour, so we give them a sendoff by talking about the oh-so-fitting (but still randomly-generated) “wood” theme.Need more from these guests? Kevin (later known as Mister K) was also on episode #210 (Dec. 2016) and #543 (Dec. 2020), while Carey also appeared on #130 (June 2015).Back to your regularly-scheduled programming in a few days. Thanks.

    WR944: Sansregret

    When I was at the Manitoba Loud Music Awards show a month or so ago, a pleasant surprise was seeing a live set by self-proclaimed ‘stoner punk’ outfit Sansregret!I sat down with some of the members to talk about music with a message — and why it’s great to scream that message — as well as defining the ‘Winnipeg sound’ and much more. If you're listening to this episode the day it comes out, Sansregret is actually playing a show tonight at Club Happenings, with a bunch of other local punk bands and drag performers. If you're in the future and that already happened.... sorry! Note: the editing program I've been using for almost a dozen years for this podcast finally crapped out on me, and it's so old it's not supported anymore, so I had to use something else. I don't think it's noticeable, but if it sounds different from other episodes, that's why. Want to support this podcast?
