The Canadian Invasion

Canada

Admittedly, I tend to gravitate towards a Canadian artist simply because they are Canadian.  I seek out Canadian artists, give their material additional spins if I don't instantly like it and promote good Canadian artists more heavily than artists from other nations.

Now that's I've fully disclosed the above, I feel comfortable sharing the fact my five favourite discs these days are all by Canadian artists.  I didn't consciously pursue this, it just sort of happened.  Perhaps my subconscious made it so, but I didn't actually realize it until moments ago.  The five discs I'm totally digging these days are:

  • Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
  • Stars - Set Yourself On Fire
  • Arcade Fire - Funeral
  • K-OS - Joyful Rebellion
  • Hot Hot Heat - Elevator

Canuck rock is as strong as ever.
