It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada so we of course have a Canadian Indie Thanksgiving playlist for you. There are songs about home and family and food and giving thanks for the blessings. It’s important to remember the blessings in our lives. Our great Canadian artists and the music they bring are a wonderful blessing for us. I give thanks for them.
McLean’s had an interesting article about The Odd, Complicated History of Canadian Thanksgiving. It is again a chance for us to look at things from a different angle. “A good start would be to acknowledge that Europe had pre-contact harvest feast traditions of their own, but to stop pretending Europeans invented Thanksgiving in Canada or the United States and, instead, consider how to repurpose the holiday to redress historical wrongs—and imagine a new Canadian identity”
Do you have a song you would like added to the Thanksgiving playlist?
(I didn’t have time to do a good job of photoshopping my head on the turkey and adding turkey skin but I wanted to give a nod to Lana Gay’s turkey pic.)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Not as scary as Lana’s turkey. And good morning.
hello
True dat.
Good morning!
why is that turkey giving birth to DBS?
Good Morning!
I did have the head on the other end at first and realized that was the butt end. It’s kind of a cross between Lana and Kramer. If I had more time these days I would have done better. Garf has a cartoon me one we could put up instead.
that was just 20 minutes of me procrastinating
you need to look more golden-browned…
so, this Monopoly Man thing was pretty great

Yes indeed (dons and adjusts his monocle)
I saw that.
I have updated the spotify playlists on yesterdays new releases post so they now have all the tracks along with removing one album because the release date has been pushed back

I have some album listening to do! Yay!
Good day everyone!
Hi Justin!
Good call on Slow Down, Molasses as the first song…. good memories to this for me.
How are you these days Darbar? You are traveling to Edmonton soon?
I am glad you enjoyed that track Justin. This playlist was started last year and I just added a few songs to it for this year.
Things are very busy right now. Working on a few plays and yes off to Edmonton next weekend. I was hoping to get to UP&DT Fest there this weekend but the timing just didn’t work out.
Dig the Tragically Hip track!
That is a good track! 😀
I accidentally slipped Chance the Rapper in there. I think I was thinking of Clairmont the Second when I let that one through. Now I would like to find another blessing song.

I saw that but it is really Big Sean more than Drake. (also has some lyrics I am not cool with)
fair enough
i am going to say good night and just in case I don’t speak to you beforehand have a great Thanks Giving Canada
Thanks Garf. Have a good weekend!
