I'm putting together a Christmas playlist for Halifax is Burning that will air near Christmas time later this month.
If you're in a Haligonian/Maritime band, and have any Christmas recordings, please send them my way.
Alternatively, if you have any local recordings of Christmas songs you think I could use that you'd be willing to share - that would be awesome too!
You can send any/all recordings to the show's email account: halifaxisburning@gmail.com
Thanks!
Happy Holidays!

...more like Yarmouth is Burning.
In the span of just one day, the Internet has been deluged with the most excellent of news and downloads from two of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia's most successful musical exports.
Brian Borcherdt (currently of Holy Fuck, previously of Burnt Black, Trephines, etc) has just released two records of old songs and demos on his newest label, Hand Drawn Dracula. The records are called Torches & The Ward Colorado Demos:
Download both records HERE.
Hand Drawn Dracula also posted news of Brian's latest video, While I Was Asleep, from his last record Coyotes.
Not without coincidence, Brian B is on tour right now here on the East Coast with label-mate, Julie Fader. They'll both be playing at The Paragon Theatre tomorrow night (Saturday) with Wax Mannequin and Rae Spoon.
THEN...
Today, the world wide web found out that Wintersleep frontman, Paul Murphy, will be releasing a new record with his brother Mike at the end of January 2010 under the moniker Postdata.
You can download one free song from the record, and stream another two over on their new, almost-ready website.
These two announcements coming off an amazing Nova Scotia Music Week in Yarmouth makes me feel like I'm 15 and living in my parent's house on Surette's Island again.
Brian Borcherdt (currently of Holy Fuck, previously of Burnt Black, Trephines, etc) has just released two records of old songs and demos on his newest label, Hand Drawn Dracula. The records are called Torches & The Ward Colorado Demos:
Recorded in Toronto, coastal Yarmouth of Nova Scotia, and in the mountains near Ward, Colorado, Torches includes home demos and unfinished album attempts from 2004-2006.
Hand Drawn Dracula is pleased to bring you 'Torches (& the Ward Colorado demos)', an intimate collection of songs, almost never released, by one of Canada's most devoted cultural navigators. They are finally out of his hands so that they may find their way into yours.

Superfantastics Recording Session!
Sunday I was lucky enough to participate in a Superfantastics recording session!
The fantastically fun-filled duo were recording their version of "Do They Know It's Christmas (Feed The World)" for their upcoming Christmas album.
Much like the original 1984 version, the Superfans gathered a bunch of Halifax's best and brightest talent to lend their vocal abilities to the tune.
The session included Jenocide's Jen Clarke, The Lodge/The Beginners' Mike O'Neil, Myles Deck & The Fuzz's Myles Deck & Jordan Oakie, and Heavy Meadows' Virgil Muir and his wife Natalie. Oh, and me. Much UNlike the original 1984 Bob Geldof-produced version, there was no animosity between George Michael & Boy George, nor was there mountains of coke and gallons of vodka. There was Party Mix & apples though. Yum.
Here are some pictures:
The Superfans hard at work:
Jenocide's Jen Clarke:
The Lodge/The Beginner's Gemini-Award-Winning Mike O'Neil:
The awesome Choir:
The album is due out in December, and in typical Superfantastics style they're putting together a sweet video, and once the it's done they'll be putting it on the ol' Internet coupled with a link to donate funds to Feed Nova Scotia.
I also have it on good authority that the band will debut the track on Halifax Is Burning before the holiday season is upon. Stay tuned!
