Herohill's Great Canadian Mixtape Project

If you look to the right, I have a set of links called "Northern Tunes." These are the Canadian-based music sites that I look at on a fairly regular basis. One of them is Herohill, and they have this thing called the Great Canadian Mixtape Project, in which, province by province, they create a mixtape of regional tunes (focused on lesser-known acts, no Neil Young in Manitoba or Celine Dion in Quebec). Anyways, they released the latest one today; it's for Saskatchewan and is titled Elgaard Your Grill, after the CFL Hall of Famer Ray Elgaard. You can download the mix here, and following are links to the rest of them:
- The Big Doe-nair Rehab (Nova Scotia)

Cadence Weapon (left) with Owen Pallett, aka Final Fantasy (right). And a DJ (centre).
Edmonton rapper/producer/ex-Pitchfork writer Cadence Weapon has just released a pay-what-you-want mixtape (or it would be a mixtape, if it were the 1980s). It's called Separation Anxiety, and you can download here. I haven't listened to it yet, but I do know one track is definitely worth getting-- his live cover of the Chad VanGaalen song Mini TV's with Final Fantasy, which you can hear below. As for the rest of it-- well, it's free, right?

*UPDATE* I have now listened to it, and if you like the more dissonant moments of C.W.'s production, then you'll like this. Plus, there's a shout-out to Joel Plaskett on "Kennedy Curse."
