Canadian vinyl fans will be adding to their record collections this weekend.

Major Canadian acts like Neil Young, The Weeknd, The Tragically Hip and Sum 41 are all dropping special releases in partnership with Record Store Day 2024 on Saturday, April 20.

The Tragically Hip, who are this year's Canadian Record Store Day ambassadors, also have a special release planned to mark the occasion. Live at CBGB's features nine recordings from a 1993 performance at the New York City punk venue, when the band launched their third album Fully Completely in the States. The recordings are available as of tomorrow as a 12 inch vinyl and a cassette tape, both in pink.

The Hip have other live records in their discography, but Canadian superstar The Weeknd is venturing into new territory with his first ever live album, Live at SoFi Stadium, coming out as a triple LP for Record Store Day. Recorded across two 2022 concerts in Inglewood, California, the album captures The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn tour, with live performances of hits like "Die For You," "Can't Feel My Face" and "Starboy."

Also coming to record stores for April 20th are an LP version of Sum 41's debut EP Half Hour of Power — following up the recent release of the band's final album, Heaven :X: Hell — as well as a vinyl picture disc release of the Barenaked Ladies' 2023 album In Flight.

Drake Responds to Old Rumor That T.I. Associate Urinated On Him: ‘That Story Was For the Net’

Drake responded to an old rumor in a comment on his Instagram.

Drake has responded to an old rumor that a T.I. associated once urinated on the Canadian rapper.

The incident in question became a talking point back in 2015 after Meek Mill claimed in his diss track “Wanna Know” that Drizzy, “let Tip’s homie piss on [him] in a movie theater.” The rumor then gained even more traction after T.I. rapped on the 2020 L.I.B.R.A. track “We Did It Big” that an associate of his got “so drunk in LA” they started “pissin’ on Drake.”
