It is now 2020 and our first playlist of the year is all about being New & Rejuvenated. The playlist may be old and been started in 2018 but it has been renewed with fresh tracks added to it last year and again this year. New songs from Anyway Gang, Badge Époque Ensemble, Rebecca Foon, Patrick Watson, Holly Hyatt, Dan Moxon and more are on the playlist now. There are songs ringing in the new year, new starts and beginnings, changes, and hopes and dreams for the future. Hours of great Canadian Indie music to help get you ready for the year.
There were many new discoveries made again in 2019 at OurBasement with more new artists reaching out to us. We love to give them some space to be heard and to let you know about them. I expect that will continue on in 2020 as well. I would like to remind you that if you have an idea for blog posts or playlists, please let us know. We also welcome any new contributors and/or ideas to the blog. In the meantime, Garry and I will continue on doing our thing. I would like to thank everyone that has been a part of the blog, by posting comments, reading posts, listening to new tracks and playlists, sharing the posts etc. We very much appreciate you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Good morning!
Happy New Year! I didn’t realize Hollerado had a song called that, probably from their 111 songs thing? Wishing you all a happy new year and look forward to listening to this playlist.
Happy New Year Wynnsie! It was on The Twelve Tapes of Christmas EP, released in 2017.
Happy new year!
Happy New Year Jeremy!!
Always nice to see people drop in.
It’s a new year and it is snowing like mad!
It was a sheet of ice out there yesterday so the new snow needs to get nice and deep before I will risk walking around.
I sound like I’m 90 but the idea of another concussion is scary.
I am staying inside to catch up on bills and listen to all of the artists that have reached out to me through Side Door …. time for some vetting.
@jeremy (no more fun hug?) too bad you and the family weren’t here now; so much new snow. My kiddo said she had a great time at the hill with all of you. She also enjoyed meeting Chris.
@darbar did you get the notification that there were only 10 early bird tickets left for Kaslo? I am quite certain I am not going this year. Pulling off my party the next weekend is going to break the bank as it is.
Hello All
Good day @scott.
@darbar Scotty Hills is one of the musicians that has reached out to me. Saskatoon roots.

New Years Lists are everywhere.
What shows are you going to or want to go to this year?
Seems to me that should be a list thing too …
@ Morgana – It was nice to hang with your kiddo as well (but we didn’t get tons of time to actually chat though!). The drive home was INSANE! Snow was flying over the hood of the Prius. Dodging broken treetops all over! When we got to the Galena bay ferry, a big Ford with two sleds and a trailered side-by-side slid up behind us and couldn’t stop so it veered around and hit the snowbank to avoid sliding into the lake. Then, hwy 1 between Revelstoke and Salmon Arm was shut down for avi control so we were Revelstuck for awhile. At Sicamous, the roads were so bad, Semi’s were puttering at 5-10 km/hr.
@Funhug!
Eeeep, that sounds hairy! I am glad you made it home safely in the end.
How was Red for boarding and skiing?
New Shred Kelly song; Revelstuck?
@ Morgana – We never rode at Red, just the one day at Whitewater.
@funhug as usual my memory fails me♂️
Hello Morgana! I totally get the not wanting to venture out on ice with concussion history.
I am not familiar with Scotty Hills. I will check him out.
Yikes Funhug! That sounds terrifying! I do like the term Revelstuck though!
