(SPECIAL CANADA EPISODE!) First up Vancouver indie pop outfit
The Salteens did "You Stood Out from the Crowd" from their new album
Let Go of Your Bad Days (
iTunes,
Amazon). They have a new record coming out soon, so brace yourself. Next popular Canadian front man
Carl Newman of
New Pornographers fame acting in his
A.C. Newman persona did "Secretarial" from his album
The Slow Wonder (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then
Vancouver's alt-country
radiogram did a great cover of
New Order's "Love Vigilantes" from their album
All the Way Home (
iTunes,
Amazon). Next long-time favorites
Cub also from Vancouver did
"My Chinchilla" from either their Mauler (
Amazon) or Betti-Cola (
iTunes,
Amazon) album. Then a band not from Canada, but rather Georgia, however, as I spent the weekend in Montreal, we heard
Of Montreal with "Requiem for O.M.M.2 (United States of Electronica Remix)" one of the better remixes found on their recently released (if sub-par) remixes album
Satanic Twins (
iTunes). Next Toronto's
Stars did "Calendar Girl" from their most recent album
Set Yourself On Fire (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then Montreal's
Columbus did
"Free Girl" from their
Debut EP (
scratch records). And finally
Vancouver Nights, which is
Sara Lapsley who hails from — you'll never guess — Vancouver, did "Two Spirited" from her self-titled debut album (
iTunes,
Amazon).
