Canada


Alanis Morissette
An everygirl's diary rocks and pops by numbers and is dressed up in some of the loveliest studio craft you've ever heard. Confessional, passionate and very punk rock.

Nickelback
It doesn't matter that their sound is a little derivative as these hardworking boys can't help but inject the very essence of the blues into everything they do. Front man Chad Kroeger is a lot more than just a pretty face; Clear Channel's poet laureate is also the Leadbelly of the Ugly Betty age.

Avril Lavigne
This charismatic young iconoclast is impossible to ignore. It's just a shame her music is sometimes eclipsed by her compelling persona and refusal to conform to industry expectations. On songs like "Sk8R Boi" she displays a wisdom beyond her years not heard since Joni Mitchell penned "Both Sides Now" at age 20.

Simple Plan
Once thought of as Canada's answer to Blink 182, we've since wised up. Guilty pleasures aren't supposed to be this inventive and thought provoking. The Beatles to Sum 41's Rolling Stones.

Celine Dion
Despite her ties to radical, Quebec separatist groups her voice is a truly unifying force.
Whitney, Christina, Mariah??? Balls to that. Put me down for Team Celine!

.So maybe I should enlighten you on what happens in your absence. This selfish existence where this introvert turns extrovert and dons their social armor. I became the perfect party apprentice, with a PHD in sitting on kitchen counters and drawing my cheeks in and shooting you looks that I don't even mean. Hips that grind to scratchy indie hits and shoes that stick to nightclub floors...

hahahaha!

Do you know the story about Graeme Ronald when he went on tour with Mogwai and came back to find the Flying Matchstick Men(shite) had fucked him out the band?
Apparently, they were recording one day (after kicking him out) and looked out the window to see him climbing over the wall with a keyboard. He then sat outside the window and played their songs on the keyboard for an hour. At this point, he left and got in a taxi to go home; except he had no money. "No problem" said the taxi driver. "Leave your keyboard with me and then phone the office tomorrow when you can get some money to pay". So he did. He called the next day and to his surprise there was no record of a keyboard being handed in to be held until payment. Haha.

I also saw him when he once played with Action Beat - standing watching them, bopping his head along with his fingers in his ears, trying to pretend to enjoy the experience as much as he could.

I am well gutted that you've no taste. I always quite liked your posts.
