Another of the popular free annual collections, "Ho Ho Ho Canada" is now in it's third year. This year's set includes 21 tracks, including 9 recorded specifically for this collection. There's a lot of ground covered here, from Folk to Hard Rock and everything in between and on all sides. As usual, I'm late getting to this one and I never have the time to properly evaluate this collection and this year is no exception, but I'll tell you what little I can. "Who Are You?" by The Evaporators is a gas, and made to be on mixtapes (but I do feel I've heard it before, though I can't remember where or when). Kith & Kin sound amazing on the a cappella "Bright Morning Stars". And even more beautiful is "Wintry City" where the only warmth you'll feel is Ivy Mairi's voice. Malajube offer perfect 80s synth pop--and by perfect I mean even better than the 80s synth pop--on "Le Blizzard". And my favorite of what I've heard so far is the peppy Indie Pop number from Les Breastfeeders, "Mantau De Froid". Go ahead and try to not fall in love with that one; it'll get you no matter how hard you try. All free for the download at The Line Of Best Fit. And, if you missed them before, you can still get Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this precious series. Maybe next year, someone will give us a Hanukkah tune. What d'ya say, hmmm?
