Almost there folks. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel (and we hope that's not a bad thing). Our special series of preview podcasts for Pop Montreal is almost done (check here for episodes #1, #2 and #3). Suffering only from mild exhaustion and severe vocal chord scars, my gracious and grandiose co-host Greg Bouchard and I try to get you excited for Pop's Saturday night line-up.

If you're tired of hearing us yak, the folks over at Pop have their own Popcast ready and Matt over at i(heart)music also has his recommendations up. Don't forget our twitter feed for on-going, live coverage of the fest.
