Hi, fellow music maniacs! Welcome to the twenty-fifth episode of Listening Party! Wow, it seems like it was only a bi-week ago that we were doing Episode 24. Thanks to everyone for your support and contributions to these shows. It’s your enthusiasm that keeps us going!

This week, Dave brusquely snatches the reins back from Mary to present Dylan O’Connell’s first mixtape. As a response to Dylan generously sending Dave a mixtape of his favourite Australian bands, Dave put together a mixtape of some his favourite bands from Canada’s indie music renaissance of the mid-nineties.

We hope you enjoy it. As always, snuggle up in your most comfy chair with an appropriate drink and listen to the following songs:

* The Dears – “There Goes My Outfit” – Gang of Losers, 2006* Sloan – “Everything You’ve Done Wrong” – One Chord to Another, 1996* The American Flag – “The 3-On-1 Experiment (It’s All About You)” – The American Flag, 1998* AC Newman – “Drink to Me, Babe, Then” – The Slow Wonder, 2004* The Besnard Lakes – “For Agent 13” – The Besnard Lakes are the Dark Horse, 2007* The Constantines – “Young Lions” – Shine a Light, 2003* The Tragically Hip – “Ahead by a Century” – Trouble in the Henhouse, 1996* Destroyer – “Rubies” – Destroyer’s Rubies, 2006

If you’d like to take a listen to Chris Roberts’ rather enjoyable playlist, he has provided a link to a Spotify playlist. We advise you to visit it here!

Thanks for listening.
