Great! Me too. Next favourite albums of theirs are Separation Sunday and Almost Killed Me (actually that’s their three earliest albums now). Story is the lead guy was in a post-punk kinda band and listened to The Band and thought “why don’t people just play straight ahead good rock n roll anymore?” And started this band… so good

Ya I totally get it. There’s an edge to it that doesn’t lend itself to love-at-first-listen. Certain moods for me and I love it though

Cheers!

Oh thanks they’re pretty new for me so I’ll definitely check that album out

So good so chill

That Flaming Lips Album is so good

Upvote for Dead Moon

Hah nice!

Wolf Parade—Apologies to the Queen Mary

The Tragically Hip—Fully Completely

If you’re a Canadian you’ll know half of this album off by heart. If not, you may never have heard it

G. Love and Special Sauce —self titled

Lou Reed—New York

The Hold Steady—Boys and Girls America

My pleasure!

Ya I loved it. Your welcome! It was very eye opening. And timely!

I hope this isn’t too for off topic but your comment made me think of this remarkable video immediately. I’ve posted it in other subreddits related to the Ukraine war with lots of positive response. It is an amazing example of how the culture and history of a place can mold an entire population and should make us look at our own unspoken preconceptions and how they might have come about based simply on where we were born and raised.

The video isn’t short, but it is super interesting. Finnish Intelligence Officer on the Russian mindset from a Strategic Culture point of view. Why is Putin doing this? Why do so many Russians support him? How does he get away with the lies? (different kinds of lies in Russian culture etc) Where do oligarchs and religion and history fit into it all. If you watch it, enjoy.

Another Canadian here with some lesser known gems:

The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone?

Rock Plaza Central - Are We Not Horses?

Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary

Not exactly what you asked (and maybe you already know?) but the bluegrass band Iron Horse does whole albums of music by Zeppelin, the Shins, Modest Mouse and, most famously, Metallica. Pretty great.

The whole thing. It’s pretty great

Haha I thought it said “all circumcisions are temporary”. Somehow the image works lol

You might want to look up Cumberland, British Columbia, Canada. Early 20th C. Company mining town at the time. Famous labour leader Ginger Goodwin was eventually hunted down in his forest hiding spot and killed.

Thanks so much! Never heard of this podcast before. 3 episodes into season one (Iraq). Really really great podcast.

Read “Einstein’s Moon” by F. David Peat instead. It’s also timely if you know about this year’s Nobel prize in Physics.
