Day 65: Iceberg Radio

My Best Guess: If you thought that all the Great White North brought to the world was beer, hockey and cold weather, Iceberg Radio will melt those assumptions and showcase the hottest Canadian music acts of yesterday and today.

According to Sirius: 100% adult alternative Canadian music for those who love rock mixed with an eclectic blend of music styles.

Curt's Rebuttal: I like mine better.

Sample Playlist:
  • Kim Mitchell, Love Overtime
  • Max Webster, Let Go of the Line
  • The Junction, Components of Four
  • Crash Test Dummies, Superman Song
  • Hot Hot Heat, Let Me In
  • Feist, 1 2 3 4
High Point: Two, actually...first, the name of the channel. It's just pretty damn cool. Ha! See what I did there? Okay...ahem...secondly, I did get to hear some Barenaked Ladies, which is the only band I really KNEW to be Canadian before tuning to this channel.

Verdict: Definitely, no doubt in my mind, a bookmark. I had to listen to this for an extra day, due to not writing a review last night...and I listened to it over the weekend. I discovered several new bands and songs I hadn't heard before, and have even downloaded some albums because of it. The only downside is that for some reason, Iceberg Radio doesn't allow the tagging and downloading of particular songs, like other Sirius stations. And they have a separate, non-Sirius website. Weird.
