re canadian bands respect the problem also lies in canada. If you were to name off amazing canadian bands such as the watchmen, furnaceface, headstones, jale, eric's trip etc. it is doubtful that the average high school student would recognize them all. Music is driven down our throats and people want to listen to shitty music to feel cool. I am convinced. I have always considered my bitterness with the fact that the Hip are not big in the states. but i think it's enough that i like them because there is nothing i can do. Perhaps we should keep these amazing bands for our selves, no fucking sell outs. If bands become big do you think they'll ever play small bars again? Listening to their c.d.'s would not be enough for me. Conclusion: American music industry is fucked, nothing we can do, all they want to hear is all-4-one, and fucking ace of base. let them wallow in shittiness, i'm going to enjoy the watchmen next time they come to town.
