Join Justin the Canuck this Friday for our mostly-annual Canadian Christmas spectacular, featuring a collection of unique Canadian songs about the holidays, the season, and the snow! You can hear your standard Christmas tunes anywhere on the radio dial—and you’ve probably been hearing them since Halloween—so we won’t be bringing you any of that.

Instead, we’ll have creative and little-known holiday songs by notable Canadian artists like Hot Hot Heat, Jeremy Fisher, Line Spectra, Treelines, Universal Honey, The Zolas, Fine Times, and many more!

Get in the holiday spirit—or, at least, a holiday spirit—with Justin the Canuck, this Friday at 4:30 PM on KOOP Radio, 91.7 FM in Austin and broadcasting worldwide at KOOP.org.

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.
