Happy Holidays!

It is that time of year.. UMFM will be closed for the season, so no more Punks in Parkas for 2009! It's been an interesting year and I am super excited to get back to the show in the new year.

Along with the new year comes something amazing! Punks in Parkas will be podcasted! Can't listen to the show? Don't live in Winnipeg, no fear! In 2010, all live episodes of Punks in Parkas will be available for download at the new UMFM website!

Have a safe and happy holiday season - hope Santa brings you some amazing music!

There are some fantastic new years events happening in Winnipeg over the holidays - I will post a blog soon with my suggestions for new years eve and other nights!

Ho ho ho...

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like.... Flu Season?

Hi guys and dolls!

I know it's been a while since I've done a live Punks in Parks, or have updated this blog or the facebook fan page either. My appologise to all. I caught a nasty flu about three weeks ago which has now turned into a crazy cold and just this past saturday, I completely lost my voice.

How I love the holiday season.

I am working on some fantastic shows for you all and will bring them to you as soon as I can get back into the booth! The station will also be closing down for the holidays and I will be taking the time to spend Xmas with my friends and family, so over the Christmas break, there will be no Punks in Parkas. I will get you all specific dates soon.

We've had some fantastic events in the past little while, including a UMFM sponsored event called the Soul Stormer a J. Foxes Local Pub at 414 Academy. It was a night of fantastic soul, motown, Northern soul and more spun by Mr. Mulligan (Winnipeg Natural Funk Company), Mod Marty (The BEAT!), The Invisible Man (Mod Club Winnipeg) and myself! It was a great night of Vinyl bliss and we are planning to bring you another one in the new year! I will keep you posted.

Well, my other half tells me its time for me to take my medicine. Fingers crossed I will be back live in the booth next weekend.

Happy ho ho,

Love,
DJ Penny Lane

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!

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
