SheenaVision: Canuck Tunes for My Murrican Readers

Sheena is lucky to have some tune-savvy Americano pals who have learned to appreciate maple smoked music... here's a list of my faves - both new and old for their consideration.

Oh, and Canadians who should know better but waste their listening time to shiteous secretary rock radio can also learn. No need to comment. I'll respect your privacy.

In no particular order...

Jill Barber - luscious torchy retro goddess: http://www.myspace.com/jillbarbermusic
Meaghan Smith - ditto - but quirkier and more experimental. One to watch. http://www.meaghansmith.com/discography
Elliott Brood - a band, not a guy. FCS. First fell in love with them a an innerdnet nerd fest at the Duke of Gloucester in TO a couple years back, now a raging hardon since saw them live at Lee's Palace on New Years Eve: http://www.elliottbrood.ca/Video.shtml
Controller.Controller: Pisses Sheena off to no end that by the time she discovered these guys they had broken up. http://www.last.fm/music/Controller.Controller
The Rizdales - the first time I saw them play live, Tara Dunphy was days away from delivering her first baby, and she glowed on stage like the perfect image of a madonna. http://www.rizdales.com/
The Farrell Bros: Umm... they opened for the Shack*Shakers ... what the hell else really matters? http://www.thefarrellbros.com/welcome.htm
AC Newman: the butt-kicker behind The New Pornographers (yes.. yes.. we all adore Neko Case... but it's his sound that makes the group..) http://www.acnewman.net/
Hometown rock GODS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQOf36hq56U
and yes Sheena is very proud to have over 10,000 hits on her Youtube video of "Thinking of You". Superstitious Feeling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsCa1JQwll4
The Road Warrior's Anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPJD3qcIL7s and the first song my sister requests from the DJ at The Pal when she picks me up from the Winnipeg airport. "And these so called vacations will soon be my death..."
