The Setlist for February 28, 2025


Not news

Looks like Ontario’s got another several years of Crack Mayor‘s brother in charge. Let’s talk no more about politics. There’s great music to hear.

There are twenty nine songs on the damn playlist this week. I can’t get enough. At one point there were 47, so I’m showing restraint. I also have some really exciting things coming up, and if you want the inside scoop, get the newsletter.

I can finally see over my snowbanks. I don’t grit my teeth and layer up when I leave the house. Spring is in sight, team. Play these songs loud.

If you’ve got something I should hear, reach out.

Standouts

“Fever Dream” by STARNAMEDSUN
She’s a very prolific Toronto artist – more on her next week.

“Wonder Bread Winner” by Baby Nova
This reminds me of Goldie Boutilier – I’ve probably played this more than any other track on the playlist this week.

“Swim” by Verry Gerry
The guy’s name is actually Keith, but we’ll forgive him. This single is a ray of sunshine. Album release is March 14, watch this space.
