It's back to school week, so the Midnight Poutine podcast puts its thinking cap on and tries to pontificate and educate on what's happening musically here in Montreal. Big shots like Oasis and Ryan Adams are in town, so are punk legends Lagwagon and MXPX. There's also a huge M for Montreal free show happening down in the Vieux Port. We've even got FREE TICKETS to giveaway for an upcoming Miracle Fortress show (courtesy of Indie Montreal). In other words, we're giving you plenty of reasons to avoid your first week of coursework.
