For those of you that subscribe to Google Music, here is my latest, totally awesome playlist, featuring Canadian bands.

There is a point of view that such national playlists should have songs about Canada as well as by Canadians, but I just don't subscribe to that restriction. We are a nation that generates great music beyond wilderness, maple syrup, hockey and mockery of Americans. Limiting to a dozen songs in my google format was tricky. Some things I thought of including before they got cut:
- Stan Rogers, Northwest Passage
- Corey Hart, Sunglasses at Night (*)
- No Means No, Rag 'n Bones (*)
- Sweeny Todd, Roxy Roller
- Doug and the Slugs, Too Bad
- Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi
- Trooper, Boys in the Bright White Sports Car
- Purity Ring, Body Ache
The (*)'d entries are ones not available on Google Music. This was the first time I had identified major holes in their collection. Hopefully they will be added at some point, although I don't know how successful Google Music has been and whether they plan to expand.
