The anticipation is building on this week's show in advance of our momentous 250th podcast next week. Despite the fact we can barely contain ourselves, we try not to let this huge achievement in stubbornness and persistence distract us from the task at hand: bringing you this week's great MTL shows.

Montreal woke up to snow this morning. We knew that despite last week's warm temperatures, we weren't in the clear. But the flurries of sleet and ice rain that fell today make summer patios seem like a distant dream. Luckily, there's a ridonkulous amount of good shows happening this weekend, making the inconsistency of Spring a bit easier to handle.

Whoa! What happened to spring? Did we just skip it and jump right to summer? Is spring next week? This week's Midnight Poutine podcast has enough stellar tunes to get you out in the sunshine, whatever your season and walking music genre of choice. We move from Studio O to Studio O2 this week (appropriately named for the amount of fresh air you'll be inhaling while on your sunny jaunt.

Well folks. The time has come for us to jump out of the ether and into your faces for real. By now, you probably know that we've decided to launch a Midnight Poutine concert series and that it will be a tower of awesomeness. The first-ever show is this weekend so naturally we abuse our podcast privileges and use some of this episode to preview the three great acts playing the showcase. It's not all navel-gazing though...there's plenty of other great gigs to talk about and we're only too happy to oblige.

The magical mystery of leap day is long behind us, but there's still strangeness in the air: most notably in the form of unseasonably warm temperatures. But hey, we're not ones to complain, especially if the nicer weather means less excuses to get out and see shows. We preview the gigs going down this weekend in the city, and look forward to the recently announced, first-ever Midnight Poutine Concert Series.

This is a special show. We're talking once-in-28-years kind of special. It's leap day, and since we usually record on Wednesdays, our calculations indicate the next time we'll record on Feb 29th is 2040. Amazingly, podcasts will still be referred to as "new media" then, though Siri will have replaced Greg, Amie, Theo and I as host. To celebrate this rare calendrial occasion, we've got an exclusive in-studio performance from local indie folk trio Folly and the Hunter. They share a a song from their meticulously crafted debut album, Residents, and preview another tune from their forthcoming project. All this while they help us scan the listings for what's going on this weekend.
