Just thought it would be cool to have a thread where we could share Canadian music with each other....
I find it is sometimes hard to find out about new and old Canadian Artists since we are constantly being bombarded with American Music....
So anyway just share whatever Canadian Music you're listening to, and maybe include a sentence about what kind of music it is, region of Canada it is from, or whatever else you think might be relevant....
I'll start with.....
K'naan - The Dusty Foot Philosopher (Name of the song and Album)
This guy (K'naan) is a Torontonian with African roots. The music is hip hop, but nothing like the commercial crap rap people are more used to.....It's conscious hip hop, and he deals with personal issues, Canadian issues, and African issues....very cool if you listen to the lyrics.
Moist - Resurection
Neil Young, Rocking in the free world
Nickelback is playing on the local radio station right now, Oh Crabbukit just came on right after.
Finger Eleven, Good times
The new Juno awards CD comes out today!!!!
Always a great CD of Canadian music
The Trews - Yearning
Sweatshop Union!!!!
Tin Foil Phoenix, Ms. Genova
Mushaboom - Feist
She was nominated for a Juno....I just bought this album off iTunes and so far I'm really liking it....It is really chill, incredible female vocal.
They list it as "pop" on iTunes but I wouldn't really call it that....
Inside and Out - Feist
Yeah - I am definately feeling this album....it is awesome!
The new track from Jeff Martin's upcoming solo album, The World Is Calling.
Damn fine track. Damn fine.
I was stabbed by Satan - K'naan
Apparently there is a saying that says Satan stabs children at birth to teach them about pain, "welcome to the world"....
