We weren’t intending to run a show on Black Friday but Justin the Canuck saved the day by running a special impromptu, abbreviated episode. Props to Chris of The Last Roundup for covering our first 40 minutes!

New music for November

The temperature is finally cooling off and the days are getting shorter, but the Canadian music scene continues to generate heat with a slew of new releases. Continuing the recent trend, we’re bringing you another week chock full of new music—including several artists never before heard on the show, such as EONS, Lanikai, Naked Chillen, Orlando Gloom, Slow Man Tofu, and Tommy Hawkins.

Plus, we’ll have the latest releases by The Darcys, Dearly Beloved, Diamond Mind, DIANA, Lowell, John K. Samson, Sex With Strangers, Twin River, and Wizaard—along with some favorites by the Cannon Bros., Carbon Dating Service, and a special Thanksgiving track by Graham Wright.

To honor the recent death of Leonard Cohen, we’ll play another of his songs (this one from 1992’s The Future) and we’ll also return to our countdown of Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Neil Young Songs of All Time with a rare, never-released track called “Pushed It Over the End”.

Don’t miss out—get your fix of independent Canadian music on This Great White North, Friday at 4:30 PM on KOOP 91.7 FM in Austin or broadcasting online, worldwide, at KOOP.org.

This week on the show, we’ll be giving away two pairs of tickets to see Dilly Dally when they open for Grouplove next Friday night at Stubb’s! This is sure to be a huge show—certainly one that you won’t want to miss—so, tune in for your chance to win!

Aside from the tickets, this week’s show will be overflowing with brand new music. We’ve got tunes by many bands never before heard on the show, such as The Archaics, Dories, Fond of Tigers, Kye Plant, and Psychic Fair. Plus, we’ll feature the latest releases by Born Ruffians, Diamond Mind, July Talk, Monomyth, Nancy Pants, The Pack A.D., Single Mothers, Slow Down Molasses, Tokyo Police Club, and Twin River. We’ll be breaking temporarily from our Neil Young countdown to bring you one of Neil’s many protest songs, “Long Walk Home,” and we’ll also work in some Silver Mt. Zion for good measure.

Tune in Friday at 4:30 PM on KOOP Radio—broadcasting live from 91.7 FM in Austin and streaming online, worldwide, at KOOP.org!
