Operation Manatee Presents Regina Folk Fest Survival Guide 2016

I’m dusting off my summer hats, digging out my older, more festival-worn Birks, lining up my beads, stocking up on film, curating playlists, and just getting in the mood for the single most fun weekend in Regina! This is the weekend I look forward to the most, every year. People are smiling and singing, music

Operation Manatee Music Prize: Top Five Albums of 2015

Coming up with this list is always hard. You’ve seen how much good music makes it under my radar in a year. Paring it down to 5 means leaving out heaps of really good music. Alas, it must be done (actually, it doesn’t – I’m clearly doing this for fun). Keeping in the spirit of

No OpMan Tonight, Due To Two Separate Cases Of The Zombie Thing From Walking Dead

Sorry, but we had to do it. Tonight is a better time to skip, than next week, anyway. Be sure to tune in next week, for our ultra-cool Radiothon edition. Walkers or not, we’ll be there!

Operation Manatee #114: The Thing You Do When It’s Tuesday Night And The Radio’s On

It’s nighttime. You’re still up. Not feeling like going to bed yet. Maybe it’s video game time. Maybe it’s up with friends time.

The Regina Cathedral Arts Festival Street Fair has come and gone which now means one thing… IT’S SUMMER!!

Operation Manatee #111: All I Can Say, My Life is Pretty Plain…

We here at Operation Manatee recognize that it is only May, however there seems to be a disconnect between what we expect in “May weather” and what we’re being given by the grand harlot of the trees… Cory has always said that in a world of druthers, he’druther it be cold because you can always

Apologies Fan-atees!

Hey everyone, Apologies for the later notice, but tonight’s Operation Manatee will be postponed until next week, due to WILD plague conditions ripping through the streets, tearing away FLESH and eating our BRAINS… Or you know… terrible allergies… they feel about the same. We’ll be back next week for your musical tastes and needs. Hugs

Operation Manatee #106: Lessons in Containing the Plague

Man… cocaine is a hell of a drug… I feel like I’ve lost the last two weeks… Wait a second… I DID lose the last two weeks… But to be fair, last week wasn’t REALLY part of a coke-fuelled binge through the south-eastern US of A. No, the vast majority of the night was spent

Operation Manatee #102: TWO YEAR MANATIVERSARY!!!
