Where I Find Fantastic Music

I am a huge music lover as many of you (or all 3 of you) may already know, because I'm assuming you're reading this blog page cause you listen to my radio show every Friday on KICK FM. I'm always on the lookout for the next great indie artist, and although being a DJ at KICK helps me discover some truly great music, the biggest contributor to the broadening of my music knowledge comes from CBC.

A couple of years ago after obtaining my first iPod, I discovered these great little things called podcasts. From there I found a weekly podcast from CBC Radio 3 host Grant Lawrence and downloaded it almost religiously. From there I found CBCradio3.com and newmusiccanada.com
veritable gold mines of great music. So, while I recommend listening to KICK FM, if you're looking for another source for your insatiable indie fix, I would strongly recommend you do one or more of these three things:

1) Download Grant Lawrence's podcast from iTunes, new episodes released weekly.
2) Go to CBCradio3.com and listen to their web radio and search for your fave Canadian band.
3) Acquire a Sirius Satellite Radio and listen to their station on Channel 94.

Now you know my secret, my source. Go forward music freaks, and listen to your heart's content!
