tune in to find out.

Eric Mercury (Electric Blackman)

It's funky and soulful and its from Toronto, another Canadian soul classic.

Golden Boys (Plainsman's lament)

On Plainsman's lament off The Golden Boys pull of that Lou Reed cool that so many bands these days try to ape but fail miserably to channel.

The Sadies Featuring the Mighty Pope

This is a Christmas tune and I'm well aware it ain't December but I'm going to post it anyways. Too bad this collaboration didn't stick. I would really love to see the Sadies try their hand at some more soul and R and B, they did a pretty admirable job on this festive staple. As for the Mighty Pope, he's in fine form, and despite his age puts on a hell of a vocal performance. Whoah, I just used the words hell and Christmas in the same paragraph, which pretty much sums up what that time of the year is to a lot of people, fitting!

Show Today

Spinning from 8-10 pm today on CHRY 105.FM (available to stream off the CHRY Website). Playing the usuals soul, rock, garage, punk. Today were going to have an extra dose of Canadian funk and soul including stuff from Toronto's cross dressing answer to Wilson Pickett Jackie Shane.
CBC has a great doc on him/her stream it here

Spoon River (Stare into a river)

Neil Young meets the Band meets Vancouver. They have a record out called Kingdom of the Burned track it down you won't be sorry. Hopefully we hear a new record from these guys real soon

Briann Dunn (Examining the Fallout)

For my money one of the best albums of 2010 I'm awfully suprised it didn't catch on in the Canadian indie scene. Sometimes the good one's slip by with little to no fanfare hopefully this album recieves the attention it deserves in the near future. It's timeless alt country in the best way, a winner from start to finish.
