CIVL’s Aaron Levy is trying things out lately. Speaking more freely, while accepting different viewpoints at the same time. You should try it, too… or maybe you shouldn’t? Life’s an experiment, right? Move fast and break things… or, don’t…. That could be dangerous …
Tricky Woo – “Let The Goodtimes Roll”
English musician Julian Cope noted about this Canadian rock outfit: “Unfortunately, the band became the victim of bad timing. They were doing pure unadulterated MC5/Stooges style rock a few years before the press in the U.K. gave attention to bands like The Datsuns and The Hives in the early 2000s.”
Sloan – “The Good in Everyone”
A reshuffle, like the other songs here, but a classic Canadian rock song of the 90s, and honestly, if you’re asking me — which you didn’t — I’m going to subject you to the antecedent as if you did, because it’s one of the greatest of all time.
Not Canadian, and on closer inspection, à la Rainier Wolfcastle — the Arnold-esque action hero on The Simpsons(1989-) — this may also not even be a reshuffle. But my previous reference to the “greatest” reminded me of greatest hits. Which reminded me of Sublime’s song of that name, then brought this blazing tune up.
He may wear a swastika, and I may be descended from Holocaust survivors, but this song — like the decidedly less popular Sloan song above — is definitely and without a doubt one of the greatest in all musical history. It’s certainly my favourite Kanye song of all time. Fight me. But don’t.
