CiTR -- Duncan's Donuts

BC is in the middle of an election! If you haven't already voted, by mail or in advance, make sure to get to a poll on Saturday. As for today, new tunes from Julia Holter, House Wind, The Cyrillic Typewriter, Jennifer Castle and Sigh. Also, big congrats to Backxwash on the Polaris win. As with all eps, this was pre-recorded before the fire that took out Dandelion Records. If you can, please give t...

An excellent new entry in the donut-related pop song canon, thanks CHAI! New Weather Station, Mountain Goats, Deradoorian & Mr Dusty.

A banger from Lee Paradise and new tunes from Shamir, Helena Deland, Men I Trust, Non La, and a song from a great new comp called 100 Block Rock, benefitting musicians in the DTES: https://exclaim.ca/music/article/artists_from_vancouvers_downtown_eastside_come_together_for_100_block_rock_compilation

Clinging to this nice weather and enjoying being able to hang out with people outside for a bit longer...it's October.

New tunes from Fleet Foxes, Adrianne Lenker, Frankie Cosmos, Osees, Dog Day & a timely song from John K. Samson.

Tough week, all around. Let the joy of music wash over you. New tunes from SBDC, Tim Heidecker, Marie Davidson, Ana Roxanne, Dog Day & Jennifer Castle. Be gone, smoke!

Farewell to Simeon Coxe of the Silver Apples. New music from Sneaks, Jyoti, New Fries, KCAR, and introducing plexiglass. Plus a "big mood" (¯\_(**)_/¯) from Nico.

The Block Party is a no go this year, but the Watch Party is ON. Green light. Let's goooo! Some mostly local tunes and an interview with Dumb just before their live set. Folks, let me tell ya: I have missed live music. This was all wonderful. Thanks to Red Gate, the bands, and the CiTR crew for putting on such an excellent show.

And we're back. Recharged after an August away, and ready to deliver the hits. New music from Hello Blue Roses, Puzzlehead, Nap Eyes, Freak Heat Waves, and Brutal Poodle, plus a preview of the Victory Square Watch Party, happening this Sunday!

I'll be taking a break for August, but before that: a pretty good ep! New tunes from Dingbat Superminx, Angel Olsen, Yves Jarvis & Mount Eerie. Also, so long to CiTR's amazing Programming Manager Madeline Taylor. We'll miss you, MT! All the best.

A touching posthumous song from Vancouver punk legend Chi Pig of S.N.F.U., who died this week. Also, new music from Mi'ens, Tough Age, New Fries, Freak Heat Waves & Helena Deland, and a live track from TOPS.

Back after a week away. New tunes Plnningtorock, Freak Heat Waves & Fiery Furnaces. And THERE's A (n outdoor) SHOW HAPPENING!

...'cause who else would want to hear about my dreams. New music from Khruandbin, SAULT, Gum Country, Perfume Genius, Phoebe Bridgers, Shamir, Lithics & House Wind. Stacked playlist.

A Father's Day special with my dad, who had a radio show (of sorts) on Thursdays at lunch when he was in high school. How about that? And a recognition of National Indigenous Peoples Day, also on Sunday. And new music from NEPTUNE's DAYDREAM, BIAWANNA & ZOON.

An hour showcasing Black artists, featuring new music from DEBBY FRIDAY, MISSY D, SHABAZZ PALACES & SPACE AFRIKA. This is a time for white people, like me, to show up for the BIPOC members of our community. Pledge yourself to anti-racism, educate yourself, and support advocacy groups however you can, be it through donations or some other means of support. Join the demand for radical changes to the...

A Music Waste special for a festival that didn't happen. There will be some live remote concerts in the future, but for now MW (and I) encourage you to devote your attention to efforts to stop police brutality, changing the way policing is used, and confronting white supremacy and racism. They shared many great resources and worthwhile causes here: https://www.musicwaste.ca Please donate if you ca...

Back from a one week hiatus, which I guess works out to two weeks. New music from DISCLOSURE, OWEN PALLETT, WOODS, LIDO PIMIENTA and HIMALAYAN BEAR (again!). Tune in next week for a Music Waste special.

Alice crashes the proceedings and new music from SHROUDED AMPS! ORA COGAN! DIRTY PROJECTORS! DERADOORIAN! BRIGID DAWSON (ex-Oh Sees)! HIMALAYAN BEAR! and SNEAKS! Plus new old music from Ariel Pink and a long lost album from MIREPOIX sees the light of day! Pre-empted next week, but make sure to tune in for Access Day!

Jeff from Devours & the Golden Age of Wrestling and I had a fun Zoom call to talk about his new album, wrestling finishing moves, and life in quarantine. Also, new tunes from BE AFRAID, GUM COUNTRY, L I T H I C S, SOLA, MOUNT EERIE & MOURNING COUP.

BE AFRAID has a new EP coming next week! And APOLLO GHOSTS dropped a 35-song instant classic on our heads. That's the good news. Plus, Eleanor stops by and makes a request. Oh, and new tunes from OBLOMOV, DEAD GHOSTS, KELLY LEE OWENS, AUSTRA & ACE MARTENS, who made a mesmerizing video. I recommend you watch it and Kenneth Anger's "Puce Moment," as a treat.

New tunes from Strap! Pinch Librarian! Charlie D! Wares! Fiona Apple! A guest appearance by Anna, and wouldn't you know it, I recorded this, put it to bed, and then heard about the new Apollo Ghosts cover record. You will hear some of that good stuff next week!

Week 5 of remote recording. New music from Cindy Lee, ETcallsHome, JOON, Vain Mina records, and I stupidly forgot to play something off of the new Strap album. Big mistake. Alice crashes the party and a very happy birthday to cousin Boris.

It's so beautiful out / what a horrible time. So it goes. R.I.P to the great John Prine. New music from Gum Country! And Cindy Lee, Jenny Hval and Desire.

Back at it, from the Duncan's Donuts Remote Broadcast Studio. New music from Be Afraid and a handful of excellent requests! Thanks for tuning in.
