So we're gettin' down to the wire now folks,
You know what I'm sayin' – we're comin' up on Christmas. Howzat make ya feel? It's a big time o' year inna music business an' I got a couple of things planned for dis column between now anna big day but, first, let's get the season started right – witta great big bag o' free stuff! I foun' all kindsa SWAG for ya to sample this week, an' some of it's pretty good in an offbeat sorta way. Nope, they ain't yer usual flavors, that's for sure, an' some of the best are comin' from the great white North! Some Canucks like Geoff Berner (that guy's funny – didja know he wrote a book on how to play the accordion?) an' Fred Squire (he's 'at guy that was the 'Fred' in Daniel, Fred & Julie – that reckid's really good too) have new reckids comin' out next year, but they're leakin' some of their songs early to get people interested. I grabbed those tunes an' threw 'em in 'ere, as well as some older, year-in-review stuff that fell offa the back of a succession of trucks. This is jus' the tip o' the iceberg, so stay tuned!
Love & sloppy kisses,
yr uncle Don Loder.
