Gandharvas: Awesome 90's Canadian Alt Rock
you guys will dig this
|
|
sounds like the indie precursor to all 90s guitar pop
|
I can't abide the use of the word awesome to describe any Canadian music.

I do kind of dig this, I've listened to First Day of Spring a few times today. I'm gonna download the album now.

Obviously there are exceptions but they are too few to change the fact that as a general rule, we canadians shouldn't pick up instruments. |
AND IF I DONT MAAAAAAAAAAKE IT KNOOOOOOW THAT
I LOVED YOU AWL ALONG |
I think exploding boy is just sore about Nickleback and Justin Bieber.
|
If only these were our only offenses.
There is not enough good music from Canada to make up for all the shit. This is my opinion and I respect it. |
Alanis Morissette? Avril Lavigne? Rush? They're not bad, are they?
|
avril is really bad what the shit, she even married nickel back
|
I don't care for Rush at all but yet I find throwing them in with Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne is still kinda criminal.
and yeah I can't wait to see douchebag and the slut's babies. And by can't I mean I hope to be spared the sight of this grotesquerie. |

Did you happen to find the album? It was pretty hard to find online last time I checked. The album also features an awesome cover of Cyndi Laupers time after time- It's definitely worth checking out, I was trying to find it on Youtube to share here but no one had it uploaded. |

this argument or whatever that is happening about canadian music is retarded. of course only the major blowout material would make it to the states/the rest of the world.
for example there are tons of amazing australian bands from the 80s that only made very minor impressions in the states/overall charts. split enz, mondo rock, marc hunter/dragon, matt finish, the church, nzpop but then again what everyone knows is INXS |

It's all the same to me suck it
|
Really though I always thougt "Aussie pop" was an umbrella term. It's not?
|
I just double checked and Aussie pop includes NZ bands but to be fair above I wrote "Australian bands". My bad. Good eye.
|
this is one of the best songs ever they were a huge act for a damn good reason, who the fuck are those other bands |
idk i like it |
Leonard Cohen, Broken Social Scene, Neko Case, Arcade Fire, Owen Pallett, Rufus Wainwright, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The New Pornographers, Stars, Destroyer, Do Make Say Think, Metric, Feist.

Neko Case, Rufus Wainwright, Stars (though I did like that one song), Metric and Feist are all fails. Godspeed is alright though not as good as Mogwai or Sigur Ros in the genre. BSS had one good record. I never heard Destroyer I don't think. Anyway, that's still too few to make up for the crap. Dig deeper. Also, Arcade Fire's last record sucks but it's too early to tell if that's gonna become a habit though I suspect so, they've been around ten years or so, I expect they've run out. I dug the articles Pallet made for Slate where he deconstructed radio hits through musical theory. I give him a pass just for that. also ever noticed when people name good Canadian bands they pretty much name the same bands that were part of the "Canadian indie wave" in like 2003? (well aside when they name older classic artists like Neil young, rush, Cohen, Joni Mitchell etc) What since? That's it? |
"fails"

I realize that but musical genres are never terribly accurate. It's not terribly important. I corrected/admitted the mistake and I didn't invent the term.
|
split enz for example has members from both NZ and AU which is not uncommon and Marc Hunter/Dragon was inducted to the ARIA HOF.
I know it's a touchy subject for you guys. |
Personally, I'm not one to base genres geographically.
Though I do occasionally indulge in some East Coast French K-pop |
