Elliott Brood, Bro

Posted on July 9, 2008

Elliott Brood is the kind of guy / band / is there even anyone named Elliott in this band? that makes me want to pick up a girl bottle, hit the bedroom beach, and barbecue some bikinis burgers. He is / they are Canadian, which is surprising — because he is / they are actually really good, and I was under the impression that maple syrup and Mike Myers were our only worthwhile exports. Let’s see what else I can cross off in this post…

Miss You Now, by Elliott Brood

Hey Rosetta! The band, not me yelling at the cleaning lady

Posted on July 7, 2008

Newfie band, Hey Rosetta! has recently released their first full length album, Into Your Lungs. If you were a fan of their Plan Your Escape EP, then you’ll definitely like this. Mostly because… it’s the same band. But also because it’s actually really good. Take a listen to the songs below, then maybe go buy their album from iTunes or Maple Music. Because lord knows I didn’t. Someone has to support these people so I can keep stealing and writing about their music.

Red Heart, or A Thousand Suns, by Hey Rosetta!

Hey, Hey Rosetta… I’ll get the next round,

Canada Day, Fuckin’ Eh!

Posted on June 27, 2008

It’s Canada Day Weekend, and starting today Canadians can be found puking and passing out all over the place. There’s also the good chance of many Canadian flags being tattooed on the upper arms of the faux hawk types across the nation! What better way to show your love for your country than by having a red leaf (or hockey team logo) permanently inked into your skin? Fuck yes.

Now then, back in the real world: I will leave you with a few songs here to tap your keg of Molson Canadian to. Or, with any luck — not Molson Canadian at all.

Saturday Night (Live), by Bay City Rollers
Everybody Wants To Rule The World, by Tears For Fears

Oh Canada,
