I know… I couldn’t have picked a more cliched choice for a Fugazi song, but, damn… DAT BASS!

This is pretty much perfect…
I’m posting the song, not the video, because the music video chopped off most of the beginning. This is probably my favorite song from 1991’s best album Bandwagonesque. Nirvana and Pearl Jam only wish they were this good…
And today I present Scratching Post! Great band. Way back when (like, say, 13 or so years ago) I briefly corresponded through email with Nicole Hughes. She was a really cool person. Sadly the band never got signed Stateside and stayed a Canadian sensation. Scratching Post was especially a breath of fresh air considering that […]
Song #6a and $#6b for Canada Week. While America suffered through a dozen Nirvana clones, Canada had a slew of great power pop bands. Sure, we had them Stateside, but try getting played here in that era. Hell, try getting played here now. I had a subscription to MuchMusic through DirecTV back in the day […]
What would a week of Canadian bands be without Rush? Yeah, it’s a stereotype, but hell, I love these guys.
It’s (unofficially) Canadian week for the Song of the Day series. I didn’t really mean for this to happen, but it did. So, here is #4 in the series. Metric’s “Front Row.” Some of the “indie than thou” types hated the last Metric album, but I loved it far better than the first two.
And Broken Social Scene also released a new one yesterday. I’m reserving judgement… yeah. This is the final song on the 2005 self-titled album and still their greatest moment.
Well, The New Pornographers have a new album out today called Together. Much like Challengers it has a lot of mid-tempo and slow numbers. I will reserve judgement until I listen a few more times, but here is a good one from Mass Romantic. I far prefer the upbeat, louder songs to the slow ones…
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
I’m getting back on the posting wagon, y’all! I was going to attempt to do about 18 backdated posts, but that would be too much work. And kind of lame.
I was trying to find the original video for this, but this live performance might even be better.
It’s somewhat difficult to post Windy & Carl on a Song of the Day installation. Most of their best songs last more than 10 minutes, which is more than what YouTube allows for a single post. But here is a song that barely squeaks under the limit. Also, it’s one of my favorite songs by […]
Forgive the fan made video. Nothing wrong with it, it’s just… bright. Sadly the official music video has “embedding disabled by request.” EMI, in their infinite knowledge, is still being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. When will they learn that YouTube increases sales? And if you allow YouTube to host it at […]
