Day 64: CBC Radio 3

My Best Guess: Hear the best that the Great White North has to offer, with the best Canadian recording artists coming straight to your Sirius dial.

According to Sirius: Dedicated to Canada's burgeoning indie music and culture scene and the place to discover the best in Canadian music first.

Curt's Rebuttal: Yep, this was definitely focusing on the indie scene...very good call.

Sample Playlist:
  • The ride into work on Wednesday had several different musical acts, but all that the display on the radio showed was "Les Amis Au Pakistan, Mon Soldat De Plomb." Not really sure what's going on there, but I heard a song by The New Pornographers that I really liked, entitled (I think) My Rights vs. Yours. The ride home (as well as my travels on Thursday, as I forgot to do a report last night) featured more "normal" musical listings.
  • Octoberman, Run from Safety
  • Code Pie, Conway Killjoy
  • Tijuana Bibles, Sexo Caliente
  • Bend Sinister, Julianna
  • Okkervil River, Unless it Kicks
High Point: Hearing the last song listed above, by a group called Okkervil River. I ended up tracking them down on iTunes and buying that track, I liked it so much.

Verdict: Let's see...an enjoyable two days of listening to music I hadn't heard before, leading up to an iTunes purchase. I definitely bookmarked this one. I was surprised at all the music that I hadn't heard before, and was really getting into...
