DJ BFAD Top 100 Canadian Songs
Tonight I DJed at the great launch of Toque Town at Justin Stitches on Granville Island - the overview for me was to play all classic Canadian music to go with the theme of the winter Olympics. The night was a great success - I got to hold a gold medal, hoist an Olympic torch and rub shoulders with Olympic athletes. During my preparation for this event, I've come to discover that Canada has produced some pretty fantastic music, I thoroughly enjoyed pulling all of these tracks together - here is my Top 100 Canadian Songs (in no particular order).
