the greatest song ever made. one lady's opinion

keriyo follows Neko Case on twitter. Neko tweeted the other day that she thinks Destroyer's Shooting Rockets is the greatest song ever made. Interesting. Neko is typically pretty zany. Hard to tell if she is being sarcastic, wishing to promote a friend's music, or just has wild opinions about the greatness of things.

Music from Canada, yea?


Been watching a TV series lately on Netflix, Intelligence. It’s basically the Canadian version of the Wire. Pretty good. Being  Canadian, it’s a bit less gritty, there are no guns, and everyone turns their sentences into questions by using the word ‘yea.’ (as in, ’I need 500 pounds of your best product, yea?’). Not sure when ‘yea’ replaced ‘eh’ as most stereotypical word in the Canadian lexicon, but I think I may start incorporating it in my daily conversations.
Since I have Canada on the brain, I present songs from my favorite Canadian artists, yea? 

AC Newman: Like a Hitman, Like a Dancer



Arcade Fire: Black Wave/Bad Vibrations



Broken Social Scene: Hotel



Kevin Drew: Safety Bricks



Brendan Canning: Churches Under the Stairs



Destroyer: The Sublimation Hour



Kathleen Edwards:Independent Thief



Neko Case: Maybe Sparrow



New Pornographers: Jessica Numbers

true love regrets to inform you

keriyo and I are trying to back fill our Bejar collection. Purchased Trouble in Dreams recently. I rather like it. Rather. Played this song about 10 times today at work
