Great song, eh?



I'm feeling very Canadian this week. The leaves have hit the ground and I can't help but be reminded of the good ol' maple leaf.

And I can't stop listening to Canadian music.
 
So here's a little list of the très magnifique Canadian artists I've got stuck on repeat (categorized according to my ever-changing mood):

Chill the fudge out:
Both of the following folk groups have well-crafted, enchanting lyrics and charming vocals/instrumentals to match. I usually listen to these artists while writing, reading, or casually pondering the meaning of life.

Olenka & the Autumn Lovers: http://www.myspace.com/olenkalovers

Carve a hole in the dance floor:

Electro music is still as steamy as ever, so get ready to shake the booty you never knew you had. Crank up the volume loud enough and you might just find me dancing on a table somewhere.

Thunderheist: http://www.myspace.com/thunderheist

MSTRKRFT: http://www.myspace.com/mstrkrft

Put on your best hipster plaid:

I've been listening to Still Life Still for a quite a while now and they always make me feel content with my weirdo self. And as for Chromeo, they make me want to snap my fingers and strut down the street like I'm the hottest neon tracksuit-wearer around.

Still Life Still: http://www.myspace.com/stilllifestill

Chromeo: http://www.myspace.com/chromeo

Trust me folks, the list goes on and I'm only scratching the surface here.

But if you're already drooling for more, I would suggest you head on over to !earshot and see what all the crazy university kids are listening to these days. Tons of great CanCon on there.

That's all for now, my friends, so stay fit, have fun, and keep your ears happy, eh!
