Your Indie-Punk-Ass Christmas Mix is back up [edit/repost/fixed** etc.]

Posted on December 26, 2007 by Thomas Purves

It is with some pride that I can tell you that my famous indie-punk-ass christmas mix is back up*. Just this time of year, you want that festive joy, but maybe you’re a little sick of the classic versions and need to shake up christmas a little. Each of these tunes are certified awesome. You can check it out over on the podcast page. Scroll down just a bit, originally posted last Christmas.

enjoy!

*I had to take down my hosted music for a few weeks as I was getting hammered on bandwidth from mp3 blogs and other leechers. Long story. But as of today, the links are all back live again.

** sigh, this note originally posted before Christmas but posted as a wordpress “page” instead of a “post” by some kind of accident. Anyway fixed for posterity in case you’d like some Christmas music after Christmas is already done with but for the fading light of boxing day over the pine trees. Amazingly a few hundred of you managed to find the tunes anyway in a seasonal fashion if my bulging server logs are anything to go by.

Baby, maybe we should stay in today

Posted on December 16, 2007 by Thomas Purves

Snowflakes this morning the size of dinnerplates

A crippling Major winter storm with heavy snow and blowing snow as well as some ice pellets is moving in right on schedule this morning.

This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

A massive winter storm has begun over southern Ontario and the stage is set for this dangerous storm to kick into high gear over the entire forecast district today with near record snowfall amounts.

Copious amounts of snow as well as strong winds causing blowing snow are expected. The snow will be mixed at times with ice pellets and freezing rain along and south of a line from grand through the greater Toronto area to Kingston and then along the St Lawrence river Valley to Cornwall.

Widespread snowfall accumulations of 20 to 30 cm are expected in most areas by this evening. Some local amounts of 40 to 50 cm or more are quite likely in a few areas.

This is a dangerous winter storm. This massive snow storm has the potential to cause paralyzing conditions as road travel on any unplowed streets becomes next to impossible today. All motorists who must travel are urgently advised to use extreme caution and plan for much extra time to reach their destination. -http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?on61
