Seeing as we are in Canada for the weekend (dear thieves, the house is not unoccupied, and the lad staying there is a fighty little fucker), I figured some Canadian songs might be in order.  I am actually half-Canadian, which is a bit odd, because I’ve never actually lived there.  So it’s always weird coming here, to a country I’m technically from, but which I really don’t know at all.

Given we played Born Gold, Odonis Odonis, Slow Down Molasses and Hot Panda on last week’s show, however, I figured that was probably enough new Canadian bands for the time being, although the excellent Hooded Fang did sneak on this one at the beginning.

But mostly, apart from the more usual new stuff I tend to play, I’ve included a handful of nostalgic songs by Canadian bands, most of which I haven’t listened to in quite a long time.  And I must say it was sort of nice to look this stuff up again, after so long.
