Yeah, we seem to have finally been forgiven for Celine Dion and Bryan Adams.

Don’t count on it.

Ok, last post tonight - should've hit the sack two hours ago. The Constantines - Working Full Time The Constantines - Thunderstruck (live) The Hidden Cameras - Death of a Tune bonus: Young Galaxy - Outside The City (if you like BSS you MUST get this - one of my favourite Arts & Crafts acts, and one of the best singles/videos of the year).

Here is the PROPA Peaches link. Dunno what happened before.

Yeah, we seem to have finally been forgiven for Celine Dion and Bryan Adams.

Keep an eye out for The Two Minute Miracles - they have a new album coming out (am hopefully going to the record release party). Main TMM man Andy Magoffin has produced hot shit records by The Constantines and The Hidden Cameras, among others.

Hopefully they’re gonna be the ‘next big thing’, whatever that means any more.

Ahh, Neko - le awesome. Another blast from the past, since you mentioned the Divine Ms Case AND Van City in the sentence - Mint Records FTW.

Oh, and I’m not sure if this New Pr0nographers vid was released stateside, but it’s a cover of a CanRock classic by Toronto (from the FUBAR soundtrack).

Oh man… And the handlers are AWESOME! When they handle, it’s not metaphorical…

and no vaseline, we’re talking the expensive lotions and everything.

Actually Kyle, I should say I’m pretty pissed at you. I just learned you’ve been given handlers. Well, where the hell are my handlers? Is it that Mikey likes you better? Well, you can tell him from me that I’m going to pitch an effing fit unless I get me some handlers PRONTO!!!

Kyle, Glad your out of your funk. I bet the link from Kevin helped. BTW - I dig Staind’s first album.

Matty, your Peaches link isn’t working. Being from the Pacific Northwest, here’s the only Peaches I know.

Yup, yall just sunk my indie cred battle ship.

To be honest… I’m a little surprised it took this long.

Though, you’ll be happy to know I’m no longer in my funk. Fear not, no Staind posts.

Matty,

It seems like half the great music being made right now is coming out of Canada - Arcade Fire, Stars, New Pornographers, Broken Social scene, etc. Even my main girl - Neko Case - left to Tacoma to hone her chops uo in Vancouver, B.C.

And yes, being a Canuck music g33k, I remember when she played geetar for By Divine Right (and still went under ‘Leslie’)–alas, no vids up on YouTube, which is surprising, actually, since they made a number of clips.

Ah well– from Feist’s homegrrrl, Peaches.

Will be seeing Feist live in December (with the Great Lake Swimmers, another great Canadian band you should check out).
