I wish there were a fark comment equivalent for yelling "Aaaaaaaaargh"

I live in Calgary so feel free to kick me in your posts.

With the poor U.S. economy, she can convert those 5 Junos to about 7.6 Grammys.

Canada: So close to heaven, God lives down the street.

what a cultural wasteland, not that the grammys are any better, but there wasnt one halfway decent artist in that whole article.

FEIST wins FIVE?

I guess Canadian music really IS that bad.

/1234 Blows.

Lifetime Achievement for Bryan Adams?

Lets face it Canadian music business sucks. We give life time music achievement awards to monkeys that have never touched an instrument.

oh yeah... that *NEVER* happens in the States...

And all your gangsta rapper we wish we could elevate ourselves to their level of eloquence... and all your boy bands... thanks for that, well try to master the guitar like they do.


ah, the typical American arrogant pride.. YOu masturbate with your flag while the rest of the world hates you.

that being said, canadian music does suck, and it doesnt even have the courtesy to swallow, indeed....

at least we ll always have that:

special tribute to '70s rock power trio Triumph, which was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame,

I always liked those guy's records and the three times I saw them live were all great.

Yeah, it's the kind of stuff critics hate, but that's just another reason to like it.

Why is it that the more "hip" an artist is, the more frightfully boring their music is?

Her songs are muzak before she even writes them.

Feist? I hated Portishead the first time around.

Notice how you can't make any criticism about Canada on Fark without a Canadian Farker blowing a gasket?

Dear Canada,

If you keep Feist we, the citizens of the United States, will at least learn the name of your Prime Minister and at least 3 of the Canadian provinces.

1234 is overrated but she had me at My Moon My Man and Brandy Alexander.

/I'd maul her like a clawless lion.
//Meow!

/good.

I know two Feist songs and I like both of them. That said, Canadian culture is boring. I'm pretty sure you'll win an award at the Junos as long as you put out an album and you're Canadian.

HappyHarryHardOn: at least we ll always have that:

viviSECTvi was much better than Too Dark Park, IMHO.

didnt have a pic but I *absolutely* agree. my number one too,wihtout a doubt...its #2 thats harder to narrow down... either this one or MIND:perpertual intercourse... the chainsaw ep... and Last Right is just so farking weird...


/I saw them 3 times live between 1987-90, that vivisecvi one is still one of my all-time favorite show

Awww, it's just a Grammy.

I figured I'd be positive and leave out the gone and the dead.

Finger 11 is one of the worst bands I've ever seen live, I saw em a few years back at West Edmonton Mall, at Reds, and I went to the Arcade after 4 songs because they were bad.

Couldn't even keep the attention of a stoned teenager.

They were a great band, but lost me after whatever that record was called with the Jane Siberry track. You're in trouble when Jane wrote the best song on your record. Still dig all the old Martin songs, though.

I always thought award shows were mostly dumb [ie. "Two against Nature" wins over "kid A"?!?!?!]
but i'm glad she won awards... her "the Reminder" disc is actually quite good...

I'm glad Arcade Fire won something [best alternative album, and best artwork categories], but I wished that Destroyer was nominated...

/"Destroyer's Rubies" is a wicked album... i have the LP which adds a fourth side... a side long minimalistic synth piece broken into three parts]

I recently went back to the Streethawk: A Seduction album. it's all kinds of awesome.

There was a farker that was nominated with a band. Anyone remember what group it was and if they won?

hitmanric: There was a farker that was nominated with a band. Anyone remember what group it was and if they won?

yeah, that was me (just got home). We didn't win (we now have 2 Juno losing albums!) but we did play at the gala on Saturday and the Ironwood on Friday, eat a lot of steak, and drink a lot of beer, so it's not all bad.

Hmmm... interesting... "Rubies" is the only Destroyer disc I have... i was thinking about picking up his new one, tho.... "Trouble in Dreams" [ i heard "foam hands" on the radio... i liked it... the mellotron made it stand out even more...]
but your comment makes me think about going backwards....to his earlier stuff...

/btw, his lyrics are awesome.. full of wordplay, very literate stuff... but with the occasional story to tell, too...
[i like to think of him as our new Dylan.... maybe a little bit of Bowie in there too...]

THIS!!!

Let me say it again....THIS!!!

I free-lance for an independent radio station in Saskatoon, so if you're ever needing some good props, just send me the notice and I'll give it props!

ehanley:

Congratulations on your nomination - and your Alberta beef encounter, too. I'm still waitin' on the former and it's been four or five years since I've had the latter or visited Cowtown.

ehanley

Props to you most definitely. Best of luck on any following albums. I didn't catch the name of the group tho, a name or link would be great.

Thanks. I'm risking an attention-whore label flameout here, but the band is called Autorickshaw (new window)

ronniejamesdio: what a cultural wasteland, not that the grammys are any better, but there wasnt one halfway decent artist in that whole article.

Blue Rodeo is good. When they first hit the scene many moons ago, Rolling Stone said (paraphrase): "The best new American band of the year is Canadian."

Feist has a couple of good songs but, good grief, she is over-hyped. She is the "It" girl in the music scene these days.

Best Canadian band out there right now. Don't care what anyone else says.

/good.

Very, VERY good. And a fantastic bunch of human beings, too. Shame they split up. They are one of my favourite bands of all time. I have a picture that Martin drew for me hanging on my cubicle wall.

klymen: I live in Calgary so feel free to kick me in your posts.

Me too. I made to a number of really great Juno parties.

Good fun.

Deal with this, ass munch. And this too, dickweed. And have some of this, ya bastage!

Ah, don't bother, the kids don't get it.

bigbearchaseme: A Rheos pic AND a Streethawk recommendation? I'm getting all googly eyed.
