BEST EC LP:
1. Sloan, _Twice Removed_ I don't care *when* it came out. One of my fave
records of all time.
2. Superfriendz, _Mock Up, Scale Down_
BEST EC EP/SINGLE:
1. "The Great Pacific Ocean" - T.H. when the hell will they put out an ALBUM?
2. "Stood Up"/"Same Old Flame" - Sloan. Not their best songs, but still
pretty damn good.
3. "Wait a Day"/ "Paranoid" etc. - Orange Glass
BEST NON-EC LP:
1. Radiohead, _The Bends_
2. Snailhouse, _Fine_ these songs infiltrated themselves into my brain and
refused to go away.
3. Blue Rodeo, _Nowhere To Here_ a truly great band, and a solid album.
Honourable mentions, since they came out last year, to Change of Heart,
_Tummysuckle_, Jeff
Buckley's _ Grace_ and Sarah McLachlan's _Fumbling Towards Ecstasy_ - all
brilliant records.
BEST NON-EC EP/SINGLE:
1. treble charger, _self=title_ Whatever misgivings you may have about them,
you can't (I can't, at
least) deny the quality of these songs. Solid.
2. Sarah McLachlan, _The Freedom Sessions_
BEST (ROCK) SHOWS:
1. The Tragically Hip/Odds/Change of Heart - Maple Leaf Gardens, Feb 10. Just
incredible.
Especially seeing CoH rawk out for 12,000 people (and say "hi" to their fans
;) )was great.
2. Rheostatics, Ultrasound - September 23. They're even nicer then they are
talented. wow.
3. DOA benefit, Opera House, Easter; a great Rheos set with Tyler Stewart;
punk fucking rawk
from CoH, and an incredible set from treble charger.
Change of Heart didn't play enough this year. :(
FUNNIEST MUSICAL MOMENT:
Thrush Hermit at Edgefest III. Honestly, I didn't quite pee my pants; but it
was close. When Rob introduced the band during "Swingtown", I felt just like
I'd warped back to the Steve Miller show I saw, except that I was surrounded by
thousands of utterly confused grunge kids.
They and Sloan and CoH combined almost made up for the Killjoys. Almost.
MOST BITTERSWEET MOMENT.
Sloan playing "Bells On" at Edgefest III.
It was one of those moments that remind me why I love music so much.
I'm sorry if I got carried away, but it was quite a year.
Merry Christmas, kids. :) :)
