Ah, my first thread, hope this isn't old hat here as I'm still a bit new (been on another board for a few years and really want some new digs).
So, how about it... with New Pornographers Challengers, Handsome Furs Plague Park, Great Lake Swimmers Ongiara, and now Stars In Our Bedroom After The War to name a few, I think we give some love and appreciate to America's Hat.

i saw them live
they were pretty cool, but too generic indie rock for my taste

Wanted to get a better idea of where this board stood.... personally, Handsome Furs easily holds AOTY for me.
I saw Slint live.
Quit it!
You're making me sad.

Hi Mr. Tsuru.
The Arcade Fire are made of win.
I'm not quite sure what that means... Neon Bible is a good album, but I think there are better this year.
Though "Intervention" still knocks me on my ***. The grandiose organ was used wonderfully on that track.

Just picked up the s/t on LP. Rebuilding my vinyl collection. Love me some vinyl (and sharing it on my site)...
Good times.
I still don't really understand what this threads about, but I like BSS, most Arts & Crafts stuff and other stuff mentioned in this thread. Can I join your club?

Like I said, I'm new at this board, wanted to express (and announce) myself through my appreciation of All Things Canuck (at least for the past few years, that damn country's music output has been amazing), and see what kind of reciprocation I'd get in return...
Will you be my frieennnnnnd?

The Weakerthans' 'Left and Leaving' and 'Reconstruction Site' are 2 of the best Canadian records since 2000 in my opinion. New one coming in September.

Ha! I honestly thought everyone knew what "Canuck" meant. My fiance is Canadian and I guess I took that term (edit -- not "team") for granted...
sorry!
But, yeah, Canada has basically owned indie-pop for years.

I think Broken Social Scene are pretty decent and that's why it's so bizarre that Stars and Metric are two of the worst bands of all time

assuming by 'barely mediocre, generic indie pop' you mean 'beautiful romantic orchestra pop', then yeah!

Tokyo Police Club are pretty cool, I think, and they're from Montreal. Or somewhere in Canada. What's it matter? It's all the same slab of ice dotted with polar bears.

Jose Gonzalez is from Sweden
unless we're talking about different Jose Gonzalezs, he was born in Toronto :thumb:
as for Neko Case, I assumed that because she's a member of The New Pornographers she too would be based in Vancouver
and I forgot to mention The Organ, Arcade Fire, and Final Fantasy
and to clear up any other misconceptions:
Broken Social Scene - (mostly) Toronto
Metric - Toronto
Stars - Montreal
Jason Collett - Toronto (I think)
Memphis - Toronto/Montreal
Amy Millan - Montreal
Feist - Toronto
Peaches - born in Toronto
Jose Gonzalez - born in Toronto
New Pornographers - Vancouver
Immaculate Machine - Victoria
Neko Case - my bad, yo
Tegan and Sara - Vancouver/Montreal
The Stills - Montreal
The Unicorns - Montreal
Islands - Montreal
Vivek Shraya - Toronto
