With 27,418+ artists, boasting 142,000+ tracks, the CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada. With that massive library along with tools for members (free to join!), we’re taking advantage of what they’ve set up by bringing you a fresh batch of music every week featuring local groups who have tracks (entire albums, even!) on the R3 site.

Meow! Most of you guys know that I do many photo booths for the wonderful publication Sad Mag, and you may recall me talking about the Vanimal party they had a few weeks ago! Well, they're about to launch Issue #10, and it just so happens that I have some work in there!

On top of that, they're having a launch for Vanimaux II at the Gam Gallery on this Thursday Aug 2nd...where some of my work will be on display with some other awesome artists.

So for this week's playlist, I decided to make a list of songs by bands with either a animal-related band name, or song name. I compiled some of Vancouver best bands and some VIAindie favs...which is lucky because I made a list of FIFTY songs...had it been pan-Canadian, it would have been probably 150!

So enjoy it by clicking below (you can tweet me at @VIAindie if I missed something good!) and I hope to see you at the party on Thursday!
