Boredom has got the best of me (there is only so much online scrabble you can play, books you can read, guitar you can play, and lloyd roberston on ctv new net you can take in one afternoon)... I figured I would make a post with some lesser known Canadian stuff that I've been listening to... Well, I guess Land of Talk is sort of well know but i doubt many people have heard their new EP so i'll post that for the time being along with some tracks by Zeroes (which included member[s] of land of talk if i remember correctly) and Pick A Piper (which includes a guy from Caribou)... Land of Talk seems to bringing some of their 'edge' back on the ep 'fun and laugther', which i hope leads to a return of the energy that applause cheer boo hiss had. Zeroes kind of does the synth-rock thing but adds a angular element that is at times spastic but in no means overdone; i also hear their live shows are great and recommend people going to see them if they want to get their dance on. Pick A Piper reminds me of a more percussion based Caribou, the tracks are hit and miss for me but overall enjoyable.
