Canadian Music!

So the Junos were on the other day, showcasing the best of Canadian Music. Yes, there is good Canadian music. The darling of the night would have to be Arcade Fire(no, not The Suburbs, as some of the people in twitter world would have you think!) I watched a bit of the show, Arcade Fire played Rococo, decent showing, if not their best stuff. They really are coming into their own, huh?

I'm really digging the (semi) new Broken Social Scene album. It's eclectic to say the least. Every song seems to come from somewhere else. Which is to be expected from people like this. The band itself seems to be made up of Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning and who ever else happens to be in the studio at the time. Some songs have 6 people banging out whatever, some have over a dozen. Many of the members of BSS have their own bands in the Canadian indie scene, some are (now) famous, as Arcade Fire will tell you. So it stands to reason that each musician would bring their own sound, and on several of the tracks it seems like it.

Overall, give The Suburbs and Forgiveness Rock Record a listen to. If you don't like them, well, fack off!
