I think its something called age. When a band is around
for awhile they get all their funky kinks out, and then as
Jello Biafra puts it “We’re not rock stars, we are adults”
which means even Metallica lost its groove to.

What is pandered as good music is what I call whinny,
complaining, boo hoo music. I’d say some thing else
but…I want to be a gentlemen.

I know three bands from Vancouver B.C., Frontline
Assembly, Delerium, Flybanger/Jarr, Barenaked Ladies,
and even that horrible band Nickelback. I’m familar with
some of Canada’s music, problem is no one stateside
plays enough to be heard. Hell I got tired of Bryan
Adams, Rush, Corky and the Juice Pigs. I find the
strangest things…when I’m not looking.

Actually my point was alot of Canadian bands are told to say they are from the US since most americans prefer to go american.

I liked bare naked ladies about 10 years ago (oh god, maybe it was even longer than that?!) when they had their funny songs like if I had a million dollars and enid and yuko ono. I just don’t find their songs as well written and fun as they used to be (another postcard from chimpanzees?). oh well just my humble opinion tho.

Nickelback a local band from San Diego? LOL, oh
that’s funny. Thats the problem with alot of bands now
so many sound like one another. I’m not saying this to
be mean or rude, its a fact. When a specific label has a
sound in mind they try to capitalize on that. Alice in
Chains, and Nirvana come to mind, oh and Pearl Jam.

What do you think of Barenaked Ladies T?

If you can find it somewhere you should check out the video, its kinda funny,

Psoh: Its weird, alot of Canadian singer/bands that go big in the US are often not as popular as other ones that never play down there. A friend of mine moved to San Diego, and he said when Nickelback came on the radio, the DJ announced them as being a local group.

Alanis is good for folks who like Alanis. I prefer another
band from her locale, DBC which aren’t together
anymore. Great Canadian musicians you don’t hear
much about because of the American saturation.

You mean the teen-pop stuff she did in Canada? I actually have a CD of hers from that… it’s …interesting stuff.

I guess you wouldn’t like any of her early 90′s stuff. ;)
