I just listened to Jason Collett's cover of Stars' "Reunion." I am firmly in the Jason Collett camp.
Cast your vote and let us know which member you selected. This is a final, binding decision. Please expect the next BSS record to reflect your choice.
-
Who the fuck voted Brendan.
-
You're fucking insane, JohnnyC.
-
I voted Brendan. Purely because when I saw them last December, the songs they played off his upcoming record were incredible, and he was friendly and funny. I was torn a lot of ways though.
-
See, I had the opportunity to see Collett about four times at the Winnipeg Folk Festival last year, and he has not only a great ear for rootsy tunes but he is also a very wry, amiable gentleman. He was the highlight of most of the sessions he played.
-
Ohad all the way kiddos.
-
I voted for Emily because she makes my insides tingly
-
Emily because of "Anthems", "Swimmers", and I just have a gigantic crush on her.
-
Andrew Whiteman because he is the motherfuckin' Apostle of Hustle
-
Where's the "They're all pretty awful" option?
-
I voted for John cuz that's my name too!
But if I had to do it again and I wasn't lazy, I'd look up whoever's in Raising the Fawn. I like those dudes.
-
That's John, John.
-
I voted Kevin because I really liked Spirit If..
-
The black one.
-
You sir a racist! :x
-
I chose Torquil because I like Stars more than BSS and I didn't see Amy's name in the list.
What I'm trying to say is I want a do-over dangit
-
What I'm trying to say is what I want to say, without having to say, I love you
-
I voted Kevin because I really liked Spirit If..
-
I thought everyone knew that BSS is some sort of Canadian indie shoggoth, an amorphous horror that sprouts temporary musical collaborators from its viscous protoplasm as necessary. All are one and one is all of BSS. If you were to see its true eldrich form, all sanity would be blasted from your mind.
-
Johnny, how can you possibly expect me to decide when they are all fantastic musicians?
-
I don't remember his name, but my vote would be "That guy that used to be in AmAnSet".
-
why is emily haines winning she is barely even a member.
also i voted andrew whiteman because of what emilio said.
-
Obviously Ohad. Besides being a bad-ass musician, being in Do Make Say Think (!!), and contributing to albums by The Hidden Cameras and Feist, he also has a cool name. He's pretty much unstoppable. Oh, and he's a really nice guy based upon short conversations with him after shows.
-
Does "Other" mean "I don't really like any of the members' other projects at all, so I am voting for the entire band because together they are pretty neat"?
-
Can I say Jason Tait, because he is in The Weakerthans?
-
I voted for Emily because she makes my insides tingly
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS
-
Emily Haines is so goddamn hot it depresses me because I will never have a girlfriend that pretty.
-
Emily Haines is so goddamn close to skeletal it depresses me because I will never have a girlfriend that pretty.
-
Is it just me or are Emily/Leslie (well maybe she's alright) /the third girl NOT all that good looking? It reminds of the old idea of "ugly guys join bands to get laid". The BSS girls are proof that that idea also applies to girls.
Seriously dudes, they aren't all that good looking. Granted I'd still tap it, but that's purely because beggars can't be choosers.

...yeah, just you.

yeah, she's.. gorgeous? :? :?
Admittedly whoever the top picture was was pretty hot
-
I voted Emily, although my criteria are admittedly bogus. I've never actually heard any music produced by any of the members except that Feist song on the ipod commercials, which I find rather annoying. Therefore Emily wins, as she is both attractive and didn't write that ipod song.
-
Which one has the awesome beard and plays bass most of the time
-
Brendan
-
That is precisely why she is my future wife.
-
He's gonna find out that rumours are true
Although they are still unbeknownst to you
-
I voted for Emily because she makes my insides tingly
This.
And all other postive things said about her.
-
I am reminded how fecking huge this band is. xD
I'm still wondering how they find employment for all those members. Stupid question? :?
-
I honestly don't find Feist that attractive. I've certainly dated girls I think are much more good looking. She's all bony and awkward lookin'.
Also, Kevin Drew. Come on. That's like asking who the best member of Polyphonic Spree is. Sure, there are lots of people doing lots of cool things but CULTS ONLY HAVE ONE LEADER.
-
I honestly don't find Feist that attractive. I've certainly dated girls I think are much more good looking. She's all bony and awkward lookin'.
I never thought so either. I wouldn't claim that she's un-attractive, but she always looked plain to me. And not that secretly-hot kinda plain, just, yeah she's a regular lady who makes music. If I were voting with my penis, I'd say Emily Haines is the best member of BSS. She's got that angular young-Winona Ryder thing going on.
But why focus on the ladies—the real question is who's the hottest DUDE in BSS? I vote Torquil.

-
I voted for Torquil because he has a ridiculous name. Really, I think they all make shitty music.
Also the women above are unremarkable.
Also I can't believe no one is getting called out more severely for evaluating female musicians based solely on their apperance.
-
Well, it's not like they can SHREDZ and they have small hands and they'll never be as good as the guys, so you know...
-
Even the most intelligent women I know make a big deal about how hot guys like Thurston Moore are so I don't see why the reverse is a big deal.
That said I am having a hard time thinking of a female musician I like that I find actively unattractive, which seems weird.
-
There are female musicians that I think are attractive; there are female musicians that I think are talented. I don't think there's a correlation between the two, and frankly, I don't think discussing the former subject is that interesting. It either amounts to "I agree that person X is hot" or "I disagree that person X is hot."
-
Also I can't believe no one is getting called out more severely for evaluating female musicians based solely on their apperance.
You have not heard Feist or Emily Haines sing, have you. That is the biggest reason I think they're sexy. The fact that they're both actually physically attractive is just the icing on the cake made out of pure sex.
-
There are female musicians that I think are attractive; there are female musicians that I think are talented. I don't think there's a correlation between the two
I don't either but I honestly can't think of a female musician I like that I think is ugly. Kind of like how there are very few fat people in bands.

Man I don't know about you, but I would definitely NOT eat the icing on a sex cake.

Sun Ra was also a complete nutter! Also, if you like Sun Ra maybe check out Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUl-aBv889M). You might dig them... it's a family band made up of seven of the sons of Phil Cohran, who played trumpet with Sun Ra.
-
The best member of Broken Social Scene is PAVEMENT
OHH SOMEWHAT INCOHERENT BURNNNN
-
The best member of Pavement was The Fall?
-
ohhhhh even better burn.
-
But why focus on the ladies—the real question is who's the hottest DUDE in BSS? I vote Torquil.

Obviously it should be on stuff like who would win a Decathlon or in a no-holds-barred cage fight.
Or who'd be badass enough to have a standoff with the police (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYdeNlnLyoI).
-
The first record by The Gossip is fucking amazing. Actually, the other three are pretty good too.
If you keep saying it enough, it might become true!
-

The best member of the Fall was the Jicks.
-
I think Torquil is a pretty cool dude but there's no way in hell he is attractive.
Tommy, as far as I can tell Sun Ra never stripped off to his skivvies on stage. He's quite well attired in fact.

Beth Ditto has some incredible pipes but fuck me she's obnoxious.
...now back to our regularly scheduled BSS circle-jerk (oh god guys I'm gonna put You Forgot it In People on right now huglbalg)
-
I've seen Beth Ditto as a guest on various TV shows and I agree with Dovey. Hell of a voice, shame about everything else. This coming from somebody who likes those albums.
-
If you keep saying it enough, it might become true!
No seriously, you'd love it.
Er, I've heard it? Unless there is some super-secret first Gossip album that I am unaware of?
Sorry but a bunch of 1 to 2 minute blues-as-punk songs with an annoying vocalist is not something I could remotely "love".
-
I can't help the fact that they became popular. I don't think they intended to.
the gossip? becoming popular?
uhhh when did this happen?
-
She was actually on the cover of an American tabloid recently! I saw it at the grocery store! It was pretty fucked up!
-
She had (has?) a column in the Guardian. NME voted her something ridiculous, like 'Most awesome person of the year 2007'.
-
NME likes obnoxious women. Didn't they vote Lily Allen the "coolest person of 2006" or whatever?
-
Fuck the NME
-
What's that? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is some cunt who works for NME.
-
NME may suck but at least they were the only people to get an interview out of GY!BE.

-
Let's shut the fuck up and talk about how awesome Jason Collett is, hey?
-
No, because in actuality he is pretty mediocre.
-
You aren't invited to conversations about music anymore.
-
I guess Broken Social Scene are playing here at the folk festival this summer. I found this out in the newspaper this morning.
It probably says something about me that I immediately logged on to buy tickets.

My little sister is friends with Efrim's little sister. I am hatching a diabolical scheme to infiltrate their family.

Oh fuck. That totally beats the fact that one of my friends is close friends with Jamie Stewart. I haven't been able to meet him yet though.

*checks watch* Right now, they are playing at the same venue I saw John Mayall perform at in Luxembourg in 2006.
I fucking hate moving.
