I will be live in the booth tonight - thank god! I don't mind doing the pre-recorded shows but there is something fun about doing the show live. You never know what will happen!

Tune in tonight at 7 PM CST for a whole lot of Garage Rock, Soul, Northern Soul and more! I will post the set list up on the blog soon as the UMFM website still has Punks in Parkas listed on the wrong date. This will be changed with the launch of the new website coming up this month!

Be sure to follow me on twitter at DJ Penny Lane!

With Love,

Back at it..

Well, I am back at the station this very early Wednesday morning as I am getting prepared another pre-recorded show for you all! This Saturday is Halloween and my partner and I will be busy taking our little squirt around for his first time trick or treating! Sure, he may be 11 months and might not get it, but are gonna try! Regardless, I am preparing a great show for you to listen to while you do your ghoulish makeup!

Just to let you know, the UMFM website currently has Punks in Parkas as being on Tuesday nights still. This will be updated once the station launches it's new website every soon. This also means that my show logs are a bit mixed up on the website currently. I do apologise. I will post this Saturdays set list for you in the end of this update and it will be on the website, listed under the date October 27th. Ah technology, what would be do without you?

If you are in Winnipeg and looking for a great alternative to the usual Halloween fare, head down to J. Foxes (414 Academy) for a Woodstock tribute show! A band playing covers of some of the greatest songs heard at Woodstock and a DJ rocking the tunes for you all night! Should be a good one!

Alright, so here is the set list for the Halloween show - which will be heard this Saturday at 7 PM CST on 101.5 UMFM!

With love,
DJ Penny Lane

Whole Lotta Vinyl

Getting ready to do the show tonight and thinking that it may be time to bring out some of the vinyl. I was at the Rockin' Richards Record Show and Sale this past sunday and picked up a few nice records. I've have a few sitting in my collection that haven't been played yet on the air, so why not tonight?

Tune in at 7 PM CST on 101.5 UMFM or listen online to the live stream at www.umfm.com.

Dude, Were's my Gear?

Winnipeg is usually a great city, full of honest folks. Everyone once in a while something happens to totally tarnish that stereotype and I hate to say it's happened to one of the Peg's greats.

DJ Co-op, known for his great mixes and for wowing many with his live DJ show, has had his turntables stolen. Shitty deal. But you can help!

If you are in Winnipeg, head on down to the 3rd floor of Ragpickers tonight for the Dude, Were's my Gear benefit. This is a NON PROFIT show. All extra cash after Co-op replaces his turn tables are going to be donated to help in the Phillipines.

Support a class act - head on down!

New Time Slot Starts Tonight!

Well everyone, it's the dawn of a new era.

Since Punks in Parkas hit the air in 2005, it's home has been Tuesday nights (even though I did occupy many different time slots). Today, I am jumping ship to the Saturday line up!

I hope you will all enjoy my first Saturday night show. Tonight will feature many of my favorite tracks - no theme, no agenda, just some of my favorite tunes to welcome in my new time slot!

Also note, my show will now only be one hour in length. But to make up for that, Punks in Para ks will soon be podcasting its episodes!

Stay tuned here for all the news thats fit to print!

Hope you tune in tonight! 101.5 UMFM in Winnipeg or streaming live online at www.umfm.com!

With love,
Penny Lane
