More Music You've Never Heard Of

Put Down That Coldplay CD And Step Away Slowly!

The Canuckistanian Edition of Friday's Random Ten

Rather than just copy Elisson's slice o' randomness off of the little white "choon" box, I thought I'd lay out some alternatives for you to listen to instead of the usual shite heard on today's radio.

A few of these tunes will probably be a complete mystery to some of you, but not to Lisa, I'm thinking. See, these bands/singers are all from north of the border. Their national anthem contains things about maple leaves and moose and beavers and hockey pucks. When they're not pelting each other with toonies and Timbits, or watching 51% Certified Canadian Content on the CBC, some of the Canajuns manage to craft a pretty sweet tune or two.

Here's ten. Enjoy!

This first guy deserves more south-of-the border popularity!

Kim Mitchell - Rock & Roll Duty




April Wine - Roller

Honeymoon Suite - New Girl Now

Triumph - Follow Your Heart

Saga - On The Loose

Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe

Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Roll On Down The Highway

Jann Arden - I Would Die For You

Moxy Früvous - King Of Spain

k.d. lang - Miss Chatelaine

Oh, as long as we're listening to k.d., if you haven't seen her duet of 'Crying' with Roy Orbison, GO WATCH IT, dammit! It's spectacular. Gives ya chills. Makes you pee yer britches with sheer delight.
