Your Country: Apologies and Gifts
rive gauche:
I would like to apologise for such horrid Canadian acts as: Sloan, The Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams, Brian Mulroney, Alanis Morrissette, Great Big Sea, The Barenaked Ladies, 54/40 and Canadian Idol. All that stupid stuff.
But, in Canada's defense: The Constantines, Moneen, The Unicorns, Sea Snakes, the Hidden Cameras, Neil Young (!), Joni Mitchell, The Weakerthans, Wolf Parade, Fembots, You Say Party! We say Die! and every incarnation of AC Newman's amazing songwriting.
Oh, I forgot to apologise for the big one: Billy Talent. I am sooo sorry. Can you ever forgive us?
sjbrot:
Brian Mulroney?
THAT Brian Mulroney? You will be my hero if you tell me that he had a singing career that I haven't heard about.
Honestly, that would make this an awesome year.
rive gauche:
Sadly, he never had a singing career. I just thought it would be funny to all the rest of the Canadians to namedrop him.
theenginedriver:
haha i laughed.
i loathe brian mulroney. but he had an entertaining chin. that will do.
canada really created some incredible music. i would like to add greg macpherson, cuff the duke, rae spoon, valdy, propagandhi, and, althought previously mentioned, the weakerthans, because i love them so much.
ew, i just remembered ben mulroney. how frightening.
and i profusely apologize for all the pop-punk. i am so sorry.
and of course, celine dion and shania twain. if i had a gun and a violent attitude, they would be shot.
Johnny C:
Simple Plan, Nickelback and the ilks of both are things I am terribly sorry for. Everyone else on the UK Singles Jukebox has duly noted them as part of my cultural heritage, giving me my only reason for seppuku thus far.
However, we pretty much invented the indie rock collective. Also, Death From Above 1979. And Sloan. And Moneen. And locally, we gave you Despistado. Now we give you Sylvie.
