Speaking of Canadians, I... uhh... acquired the new New Pornographers album "Twin Cinema" last night. At first listen, not as strong as the first two, but I need to give it more time.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Polter-Cow, that's a damn fine list of music.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Emusic now has the Dead Milkmen. Excuse me while I go be sixteen again for a while.
"....the important thing here is that we get to the part where you ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore."
"Oh, how you gettin' down to the shore?"
"Funny you should ask, I've got a car now...."
When I drive past the kids
They all spit and cuss
Cause I've got a bitchin' Camaro
And they have to ride the bus!

I've heard one song form the new NP album. My socks were still on after listening.
The CBC did a thing this year where they picked the 50 essentail Canadian songs. Lots of interesting picks. Lots of things to make you say WTF?!? [link]
Some Canadian music bloggers responded with their own list. [link] Or you can read the who long process starting here. [link]

Ian and Sylvia is number 1?
Where the hell is Joey Shithead?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Wait a second. American Woman is a Candian song? Who knew . . . .

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm just wondering why Stan Rodgers only got one song in the list, while Gordon Lightfoot got a couple...then again, I have been influenced by my Canadian filker/folkie friends whose taste may not match the CBC.(And certainly doesn't match the people in the blog linked above)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Guess Who, that's who.
