Amidst the chaos and the fumes, the vandalism, the hatred, and the noise, I asked a bunch of folks living in downtown Ottawa what kind of music was resonating for them as they struggled through the week. I got -- a lot of -- feedback. The pieces I'll air highlight a bunch of local talent, and I've captured all the requests in a playlist below for those who want more.
