The Campus Radio Music Library in the Streaming Music Era
This chapter profiles the Canadian campus radio music library and its role as an advocate of local and diverse music in an era of streaming music and corporate media dominance. Campus radio music libraries are rooted in place, decentralized, and often include a diversity of artists (particularly by comparison to commercial and public radio). But these libraries are also often informal and incomplete, and no one station takes the same approach to …

Beyond the branch plant
This paper explores the wider political economy surrounding the opening of Capitol Records’ first Canadian record pressing plant in 1976. This celebrated facility encapsulates much of the optimism for Canadian music during this period. As a site of research it reveals a great deal of the complex relationship between a multinational corporation and an evolving national record industry. Further, this paper explores the materiality of popular music …
Independent Canadian Music in the Streaming Age
This article illustrates the precarious position of Canadian independent musicians in the streaming era. In the first section, we articulate the sound of the Canadian music industry from above, providing a macro-level political economy, looking at multinational conglomerates, streaming technology, financialization, consolidation, and inequality. In sections two and three, we listen to the sound from below using ethnographic methods, relaying the …
Understanding Media through the American Folk Revival
(Residual) Public Music Radio in the Streaming Era
The aim of this article is to assess whether and how the CBC’s music radio programming reflects the corporation’s mandate of showcasing a diversity of music and culture. I argue that a program logic that privileges an international corporate music industry strategy persists (particularly during the peak morning and afternoon drive time programs) and limits the capacity for public radio to imagine and project alternative musical trajectories. My a…

The current moment is a productive time to examine the relationship between public media and music due to the massive changes that these sectors have experienced in recent decades. These changes of
When the dial goes Dylan
This article explores the construction of hybrid authenticity by Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour, an XM Radio programme that aired between 2006 and 2009. Dylan's foray into radio presents compelling questions about the role of his star image in advancing a corporate strategy of premium radio that requires subscription access. Through narration and curation, a performed freeform radio format and fragments of radio history, Dylan's celebrity, voi…
Songs You Need to Hear’
Public radio broadcasters are mandated to act as vehicles for supporting and promoting national culture, including music. Despite a predominately national focus, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has partnered with public broadcasters from other nations in a song-sharing initiative called ‘Songs You Need to Hear’. The initiative includes a monthly blog post with embedded audio and brief descriptions of the music by radio hosts from CBC (Canad…
Reflections of the Cosmopolitan City: Mapping Arcade Fire's Reflektor and its Intermedia Promotional Campaign
Satellite footprint to cultural lifelines
Satellite radio posed a new question for Canadian policy-makers: How to take advantage of a transnational radio service while ensuring cultural identity was not lost within channel offerings that are predominately American. Comparing the initial licensing of satellite radio in Canada (2005) to the merger of the services (2011) and the post-merger license renewal (2012) highlights a shift in the spatial understanding of satellite radio, from being…
Beyond campus borders
At a time when a number of prominent American college stations have moved online, the processes by which Canadian campus stations acquired FM licences exemplifies what can potentially be lost when stations move off the dial, as may occur if the Internet is assumed to be the most viable means of distributing alternative and community radio. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) first licensed campus radio in 1975. …
New Noise” versus the Old Sound
Reflecting on the historical relationships between manifesto-writing and politics, art, performance, and music, this article investigates the role of the liner note manifesto included with Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come (1998), considering it to be a rhetorical text supporting songs, lyrics, and images that openly identify as counter-cultural and contribute to an aesthetic transformation of the punk genre. Because the album is situated in do…
