MTP: Episode 135

Hello my friends and thanks for joining us for the final episode of the MTP. When I started this little sonic experiment back in 2011, I never thought I’d be sharing music in this format for 10 years. And yet, here we are. I’m proud to say that we’ve always stayed true to our aim…

MTP: Episode 131

Happy New Year everyone! While we can’t imagine anyone looking back fondly on 2020 just now, the fact is there was some truly amazing music released by Canadian artists during this most recent trip around the sun. And despite all the stuff we’d obviously like to overlook, we think a musical celebration is in order!…

MTP: Episode 124

Hello friends. I sincerely hope you’re all keeping well and weathering this storm with determination and hope. There likely aren’t any words I can say that will ease your minds or make your burdens lighter. But I do hope the music shared here will help to alleviate your anxieties, even for a little while. To…

MTP: Episode 121

Hello my friends and welcome to 2020. It’s a new decade (OK – technically the new decade starts in 2021 but play along) and so we thought it was a good time to reflect on some of the amazing Canadian music released in the past 10 years. In fact there’s so much to celebrate that…

MTP: Episode 101

Hello friends and fans! It’s a new year and that means it’s time for our annual look back at the top records of the previous 12 months. As always, this isn’t a countdown (I hate those). Rather, it’s a very subjective view of a collection of tunes from some of the albums that really stood…

MTP: Episode 92

MTP: Episode 89

Hello everyone and thanks for joining us. We have a very poignant show for you this time out. As our listeners are no doubt aware, 2016 has been an absolutely awful year so far. We’ve lost musical giants David Bowie and Prince and, more recently, Sharon Jones and Leonard Cohen.  We pay tribute to these fallen…
