Psychedelic rock has made quite a comeback.

I was making a Led Zeppelin reference.

Iconic Canadian voices.

Bruce Cockburn.

Ah, an obscure reference, good soundtrack album and song. I even have all the LZ studio albums, except Coda of course, and I still didn't get it. Some of the early music of the Guess Who was very basic and raw, by today's standards underproduced, the current version of the GW is not very similar.

Found this, with the death of Don Shebib posted here not long ago, I haven't seen this:

Shebib's classic Canadian coming of age film

[elly63]

Wow, only because of later TV showings, Shebib is able to say in 1970 that Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is almost a totally unknown film.

Wikipedia: Because of the film's disappointing sales, Capra was seen by some studios as having lost his ability to produce popular, financially successful films.Its copyright expired in 1974 following a lack of renewal and it entered the public domain, allowing it to be broadcast without licensing or royalty fees at which point it became a Christmas classic.

A window into what it feels like driving in Japan…

^ Haha. Nice one, Metro. I imagine the inspiration for that video happens daily.

Spoofing Vancouver driving would be an act of violence. I swear the drivers out here get worse on a daily basis.



My friend helps run a very successful "Emo Night" here in Vancouver. I've never been a fan of emo music, but went for my first time to help shoot some promo photos last Friday. It's basically a crossroad Millennials and Zoomers reliving a time when My Chemical Romance was the biggest thing ever.














My buddy DJing all of the emotional hits of the early 2000s.

I love this movie. I don't know what it is that grips me: the realism, the sad situations these fellows find themselves in (often of partly or wholly their own making), the cinematography....just a gem of a film.

One of my favourite reaction channels

After the death of Myles Goodwyn I posted the above reactors tribute here. There was another heartfelt reaction tribute.

"Tokyo" is great, but my faves of his are "Call it Democracy", "Down Here Tonight", and "Don't Feel Your Touch".

One of the very best of Canadian films, and Cockburn's soundtrack is essential. Rip Off isn't anywhere near in the same league, imo. I also have on hand Shebib's Between Friends (1973) - which some claim is even better than Goin' Down the Road - but I haven't viewed it yet.
Cockburn also composed and performed the music for the superb 1984 documentary Waterwalker.

LOL, I'm glad as the pictures went on, the audience seemed to be enjoying themselves, because the first couple shots from behind the guitar player looking at the crowd, they looked kind of angry lol.

Quite a coincidence that this was played now just as we were talking about it. I think many reaction channels are scams with people pretending to like what the viewers like etc. These two have always seemed honest and it was interesting for them to say it was a new artist not knowing they had heard him five times before: No Time, No Sugar Tonight, American Woman, Clap for the Wolfman, These Eyes

I knew who TGW were and knew of maybe their top 3 songs. But I took Burt's voice for granted. It's majestic. A really talented group of guys. Bachman continued to make hits with BTO of course too.

Michael Cera gave Burt a run for his money though in Superbad. Almost identical in quality. My sister can attest as they went to school together and were actually in the same drama class and did a play together.

In typical emo fashion.
