Canadians - recommend good Canadian tunes the Yanks don't know
I've always loved "When she was happy" by Pluto.
Or ANYTHING by "Pure" Anna is a Sped Freak, Denial ...fuck the whole Generation SIx pack cd is awesome.

Natch 54-40...no matter what Wat tyler says.

1. "Go For Soda" by Kim Mitchell...
Half the fun of being an expat in Canada is listening to all the delightfully cheesy 70s' and 80's Canadian pop music that never got played much in America but gets played on Canadian "classic rock" stations to fulfill their CanCon content.

3. Wat Tyler is right (again): 54-40 blows.
But Pure is passable entertainment.

I think the Rheostatics (from Etobicoke, Ont) are one of the most interesting bands in the world.

And, hey, just for pure entertainment value, you can't beat Skinny Puppy.

12. Because they started out as an REM wannabe clone...
which is offensive enough, but then they got all hippie, whick also offends me deeply, and more recent shite like "Ocean Pearl" makes me want to go back in time and murder their ancestors.

19. doesn't matter.
Ocean Pearl was written, so I have to go back and kill their ancestors, which means Smilin Buddha is never recorded.

But, wait...that means Ocean Pearl is never recorded, so I wouldn't go back in time afterall... so Smilin Buddha and Ocean Pearl are recorded...which means I would go back in time...uh...

hmmm....


Maybe I should call the number on the card that guy just gave me.
