canadian invasion!

broken social scene : cause = time
Love it love it love it. One of those songs I can listen to endlessly, it's on probably 8 mix CDs I've made. I always find a way to fit it in.

Arcade Fire : Laika
Great video.

Stars : Your Ex Lover is Dead
These guys are usually a little too saccharine for me, but this tune has enough edge to cut through.

Black Mountain : Druganaut
These cats are the spiritual ancestors of all those 70's dirtbags who had dreamcatchers roach-clipped into their hair. Excellent stuff for a certain mood.

Final Fantasy : This Lamb Sells Condos
Found this poking around the internets. Neat video. The fellow is described by more than one e-wag as "Canada's Andrew Bird". He bears investigating.

Wolf Parade : Shine a Light
Waiting on a new platter from these guys. Sunset Rubdown is a fine group, but they don't pack the same wallop.

Neko Case : Furnace Room Lullaby
My favorite vocalist. A voice like a spotlight in a dark room.
Her definitive disc is Blacklisted, a country noir opus of murder ballads via Patsy Cline.
