THIS IS A THREAD WHERE ME AND ARTSCHOOLED POST MUSIC VIDEOS OF 90'S CANADIAN ALT ROCK HIT MAKERS, NUMBER 2

Age of Electric - I Don't Mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr9GZlA6CCw

fun facts: the bad cosists of two sets of brothrs, Ryan Dahle and Kurt Dahle and Todd Kerns and John Kens

the dummer of the Age of Electric (Kurt Dahle) is now the drummer for the New Pornographers

oh man, this thread is gonna make my night

In honour of this conversation, I am going to listen to Big Shiny Tunes 2

yeah but the version of starseed on the armageddon soundtrack was the remix with the shitty intro.

FUN FACTS: I paid 30 bucks to mail order this CD from Canada in 1994 because it wasn't released in the US yet (it didn't come out til 95 here). Also, OLP were my world for like 7 years.

Matthew Good Band - Apparitions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t7X1ZoYq3k

FUN FACTS: Matthew Good was notorious for having an "attitude" in the Canadian music industry. Good pokes fun at this in "The Future is X Rated" video by having an extra hold up a sign saying "i hear that Matthew Good is a real asshole"

Matthew Good Band were heralded to taking Canadian music videos to a new level or production values, with many citing Apparitions as one of the best Canadian music videos of all time.

Waiting for The Zit Remedy.

MATTHEW GOOD BAND FACTS: First band that my little brother ever saw performed live, me and teresa took him when he was like, 11. ALSO: Matthew Good IS an asshole.

who the fuck are the zit remedy?

ALSO FUCK I WAS OBBSSEESSEED WITH OLP FOR YEAR TOO XOP

Gob - Soda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pc8xutlcwY

FUN FACT: MY COUSIN IS LIKE BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MEMBERS OF GOB

TWIGBY WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

EFF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE ZIT REMEDY ARE. Admittedly, they were more 80s and not hit makers at all.

OH DEGRASSI

This barely counts, and liking this song was about as close as I ever got to liking Ska, but I LOVED the Planet Smasher's "Surfing In Tofino".

Dear ThePinkLantern,

I am sorry for ignoring you briefly. I like you, I do, but I HATED THE CRASH TEST DUMMIES. I am sorry, BUT I CANNOT HELP IT.

Them, and Great Big Sea.

Love,

Artschooled

OMG, Xop, for reals. I second Twigby's question.

Also, Twigby and I have had a very lengthly discussion about IME and their BEFORE AND AFTER EDWIN music.

OMG POST EDWIN THEY SUCKED

@artschooled:
Haha it's totally fine, EVERYONE hates them and I don't mind I freakin love the weirdos and am cool with that :)
But in light of your hatred, I do apologize for funkin up your list with them ;)

@xop the tea party are great. I always had this theory that if they were American and not Canadian they would've been fucking huge world wide.

ThePinkLantern-- Don't apologise! Sheesh! I think we all appreciate your contribution, epsecially twigby who apparently likes them.

@twigby Frankly I don't understand why most of these bands didn't get big in the US, the music was certainly good enough and they sounded enough like what was going on down here to fit in.

Even the Hip couldn't catch on as more than a cult act here.

Zuckerbaby - Andromeda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcvLuzbacZI

no fun fact, but quite frankly, one of my fave songs from the 90's, EVER

I looooove The Tea Party.

oh man, I haven't even thought of Zuckerbaby in like 10 years

Fuck, Up to Here and Road Apples are my two favorite road records.

Cruising through the Hill Country in Texas with the windows rolled down.

I saw the Hip in um... 1991 or 92.

I like The Tea Party as well, but not nearly as much as the early Hip.

@xop i much preferred them as rainbow butt monkeys over fucking FINGER ELEVEN

i saw finger eleven at a festival once and i kept screaming "PLAY CIRCLES! PLAY CIRCLES!"

Foreigners.

ok yeah i can't go with you on that one nikki =|

OKAY OKAY I LIKED BIF NAKED TOO.

Effffffffff. Why you guys gotta be like this?

Yay Bif!
