Sorry dude, I've beaten you to it, under "Ivan" (I know him personally) Safety Dance is sort of new-wavy isn't it - Mayby you remember another friend of mine, Jean-Pierre and his band
The Box

Three different genres with three different amazing Canadian artists.

Blues.

John Campbelljohn- Slow Down.

One of the world's best slide guitarists.


Afrobeat

Mr. Something Something-Sound the Alarm

You ever have a chance to catch these guys live, GO!

Celtic

Mary Jane Lamond w/ Ashley MacIsaac- Sleepy Maggie

A modern take on a very old song. The lyrics are in Gaelic.

A great fellow from Nova Scotia... Buck 65!

Stella/Cries a Girl



Dang!



Indestructible Sam





I apologize for posting three of his vids, but it was hard to narrow it down even that much.

Man, I never realized we had THAT many Canadian Mods.

And not a Québécois amongst them.

C'est triste.

Gools is our token French Canadian, but he isn't Quebecios. Close enough?

A band I remember fondly from elementary school (and I still have the vinyl I rushed out to buy), the Headpins!



And here's Darby some twenty odd years later proving she's still got it (turn down your speakers)....

As long as it is titled "We need more Canadian Mods", I think it'll be fine.

Swollen Members featuring Nelly Furtado- Breathe.


The Weakerthans-Left and Leaving


Stars-Your Ex-Lover is Dead

sorry 'bout the Harry Potter fan vid, it is the only decent quality vid on youtube for this tune. the original is hauled down, which seems to be happen' a lot lately.

Emily Haines & Metric

The Golden Dogs-Construction Worker


Chixdiggit-Chupacabras


Propagandhi-Anti-Manifesto

Gob-Soda


DOA-World War 3


Teenage Head-Let's Shake.

Viovod-Astronomy Domine
Probably one of my top five covers of all time. This song is so dark.


Arcade Fire- Intervention


The Headstones-Tweeter and the Monkey Man
Another great cover by a top notch rock and roll band.

Something a little different.

Rita MacNeil- Working Man.


The Barra MacNeils-The Island.

That's ma home.

The Rankins- Mull River Shuffle.

This will get your Friday Night started.
RIP John Morris.

Man, that Viovod track is heavy.

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Yea, it's an absolutely amazing cover. I love Pink Floyd but this is one case where I personally think the cover is better than the original. There aren't many bands that can even do Floyd justice but this is in a class of it's own.

And not to waste a post.

Captain tractor- Up the Hill.


The Rheostatics-Bad Time to be Poor


The Joel Plaskett Ememrgency- Work out fine




[edit on 24-1-2009 by GAOTU789]

Gowan - A Criminal Mind


Kim Mitchell - All We Are


Aimee Mann -
