We agree with Clay and Friends: bouge ton thang with us on Friday afternoon! Image: Bandcamp

After celebrating our beginnings last week, this time we move our focus back to the present, with the latest releases from north of the border. We’ve got a wide-ranging playlist designed to start your weekend right, including some listener requests and nine artists making their debut on the show. Plus, one track that doesn’t really fit in at all… but that’s sure to have you moving your thang.

This week, it’s all about Allison Russell, Amaka Queenette, Clay and Friends, David Vest, Foolproof, Lost Love, Luna Li, Mike Boguski, Nathan Lawr, Nightshifts, Nuela Charles, PARTYPOOPER, Paul Jacobs, Pillea, Whitehorse, and The Zolas!

Join Justin the Canuck Friday at 4:30 PM Central on KOOP Radio, 91.7 FM in Austin, Texas and broadcasting to the world at KOOP.org!

Fifteen years of This Great White North

Posted on by

We broadcast our debut episode all the way back on Monday, May 15, 2006. This week—15 years later—we celebrate the adolescence of our one-of-a-kind radio show with an unprecedented, uninterrupted 90 minutes of independent Canadian music from the earliest days of This Great White North. We’re replaying our first three playlists, since it’s music just as fresh today as it was 15 years ago. We’ve got tracks spanning the genres, and the decades—from 1977 through… 2014?!

Did we have a time machine in 2006? Tune in to find out… and to hear tracks by Amy Millan, Chixdiggit, The Deadly Snakes, Decomposure, Great Lake Swimmers, Greg MacPherson, The High Dials, Memphis, Nathan, The New Pornographers, The Paperbacks, Petkau, Rheostatics, Rival Boys, Rush, The Russian Futurists, Shadowy Men On a Shadowy Planet, Stars, The Stills, The Weakerthans, and Winter Equinox!

Embracing the chaos

So much new music. So many different genres. How to fit it all into one cohesive show? The answer: you don’t. Instead, this week, we’re embracing the chaos of songs that maybe don’t flow perfectly from one to the next, just because we have so much great music to cram into our limited time!

We’re all over the (Canadian) map this week, with 100% brand new tunes by artists including Aasiva, Art d’Ecco, Boy Golden, Braids, Century Egg, Ellis, Fog Lake, Hippie Hourrah, JayWood, Laurence-Anne, Left Field Messiah, LUMIÈRE, OXLIP, Pillea, Ruth B., STACEY, TEKE::TEKE, TOVI, Wasting Time, and Whitehorse!
