Customer Reviews
Good, not great
Don't get me wrong - I look forward to the new music in my playlist each day, but so far I haven't been struck by more than one or two songs. Your taste will obviously vary, so check it out for yourself. I must complain about the opening and closing riffs to the podcast - they're killer if you're not prepared and wearing headphones. Yeeouch!
Thanks
I really appreciate listening to Canadian Music that is not "picked up" to be played over and over and over on the airwaves until you eventually hate the sound. Good work!
An awesome eclectic mix of Canadian music!
I've been subscribing to this podcast for a number of years now and I have to say that the overall mix and variety of music (one track per day) is a welcome supplement to my total music library -- often introducing me to bands that I never would have sought out on my own. Best of all, I appreciate that all the bands are homegrown Canadian talent.
