For me, December is crazy inspiring.

The past few Decembers I've been exploring the 300ish #Manitoban musical acts that released music in the past year.

So much talent here. I'll be posting currated playlists of my fav new MB music 'round year end.

At $65 dollars/night the yurts are still such a steal.

Rent a yurt in a Manitoba Provincial Park this summer!

I'm partial to the Nutimik ones, but there are many lovely options!

@grittycitywpg.bsky.social Thanks for the heads up on the new Buck album in your newsletter! It's incredible. I hadn't really kept up with his music beyond the 00s. There was a time in the early 00s where it felt like he was at the Pyramid every other month. So many good shows.

Absolutely criminal that this music video from FINN only has 193 views. Love this track. Incredible #Winnipeg music.

🥁 About a month ago I asked how are y'all managing your sound effect archive...
🎺 And today I'm sharing SLAMY with the world!

It's a super-simple sound library manager w/ built-in mixer for quick edits. It's a great help for me, and maybe for you too?

Push The Button ▶️
Push The Button by W. B. Nesbit (1905) If you have a lot of questions and are worrying for answers, Push the button. If you want to know the ages of the youthful ballet dancers, Push the button. If you want to know the reason for a vexing lot of things, The worries of the commoners and discontent of kings, And why you have to coax the youthful wonder ere she sings, Push the button. Would you get some information as to stocks or bonds or grain? Push the button. Do you want to make a million? Do you want to catch a train? Push the button. Is it something as to fashion — as to bonnet, gloves or dress? Does the Christmas problem worry you and fill you with distress? Do you wonder if the damsel will reject you or say “Yes?” Push the button. For the price of lamb or lobster, beef or veal or pork or mutton, Push the button. For the work of all the authors, from old Chaucer down to Hutton, Push the button. Now the information bureau is a thing of cogs and wheels. At the shifting of a lever all its knowledge it reveals. If you’d like to know the outcome of your doings and your deals, Push the button. There’s a button for your likings, for your longings and your joys — Push the button. And you needn’t go to school so long as you’ve got the strength to shove — Push the button. If you want to ask a question, and the dial don’t reply. If the thing is out of gearing and its works have gone awry. Do not go to the inventor and in anger ask him why — Push the button.

Love this!

A colour palette compilation zine: d-unveiled.itch.io/the-color-pa...
An image announcing "The Color Palette Compilation Zine." At the top is a banner of cartoon doodles. The text below reads: "The Color Palette Compilation Zine started coming together in July 2023 when over 20 artists submitted work made with a single color palette to be collected into a zine! Each of the included artists have given each other the permission to sell this zine at zine fairs/fests and local shops. We hope that by coming together in this way, our work can be seen by more people than any one of us would have been able to reach on our own. If you’re reading this, thank you for your interest in our work!" At the bottom is a row of five color swatches displaying the zine's palette: Yellow-Orange (F6BD60), Cream (F7EDE2), Light Pink (F5CAC3), Muted Teal (84A59D), and Salmon Pink (F28482)

Here for this. Issue 01 was dope. The photo zine is a lovely addition. Lots of #Winnipeg / #Canadian hiphop talent on this one. Twenty buck for disc and zine.

Not only was the Granite Curling Club looking to veto the development of affordable housing, in their lease negotiations they were requesting subsidies & reimbursements amounting to over $800,000 annually, including rent reduced to $1, tax subsidies, building repairs & river bank stabilization.
