EC,
Wow – that brings back some childhood memories. My parents used to listen to A.M. a lot. She was on the TV constantly (we only had two channels). It was the 70’s/80’s and it was Canada…. still don’t like her though. Reminds me of Pilsner in snubby beer bottles, Rothmans cigarettes, mustaches, bad hair cuts, questionable fashion and ugly living room decor.
Double Canadian:
FM, Donovan does the same to me. We had 3 channels in black and white.
FM- I rarely chime in on music as I like mostly classical and Irish folk varieties but Neil Young has a certain train wreck sound that appeals to me and I do listen to some of his tunes. The one good thing I can say about Canada is that it is very clean or at least in the areas I have visited, the music is fair IMO.
Bea,
Having grown up with the stuff I’ve come to view it this way – some is really good and some is really bad – without much in between. In the past too much state ownership of the various media here contributed to a lot of crappy production. The good stuff was the stuff that eventually ended up in the US based on its own merit. The Guess Who for example.
My wife just took my 11 yo daughter to see BNL in Vancouver. It was sort of a coming of age thing from her perspective. I took the Mrs. to see them on one of our first dates up top of Whistler Mountain. Nice setting for a concert…
Alberta boys…

Rob,
Love Tragically Hip….
Hip is awesome. Here is an oldie. I know it’s a cover but I think it’s better than original

One more. I’m kind of going thru a playlist. I figured I’d post some stuff the R.O.W likely hasn’t heard.
I might post some more. Watching hockey game and having a drink.
Blue Rodeo

For Mr Nova Scotia – Triumph rocks…. live in Halifax…
Congratulations, Frost. I never got that much response with my compilation. Oh well.
More Sum 41 – thanks CO2
EC – i figured there were a few frostbacks lurking here…. I’m going to have to start paying Flash royalties for that one….
Thanks FM didn’t make it to that concert but did see my share of bands there at Metro Centre. Good times put a smile on my face.
EC – Frostback music with wetback subtitles.
Fuck – it’s getting pretty multi cultural around here tonight.
