Birds of Canada host Adam Roper wants to remind you to kick back and enjoy college. Stay on campus past 6 p.m., say yes when your awkward roommates proclaim “Toga Party,” and streak whenever possible. Here are a few jams for late nights of sneaking live goats onto the Baker House roof instead of studying:
SonReal – “Everywhere We Go”
The music video for one of Vancity’s criminally unknown rappers is a throwback to the colourfully irresponsible childhood your parents had. Further proof denim vests and pink socks will never go out of style.
The Mandates – “I Stayed at the Arcade”
I know I did, even when all my friends flaked outta town to go to school. When you grow up living on Vancouver Island in a tent, options for fun are limited. I’m of the opinion that hitting the high score on Turtles In Time is certainly as noble a task as earning your master’s in whatever.
Grand Analog – “Wild Animal Print”
Despite the fact that it’s a great Canadian hip-hop jam, “Wild Animal Print” is not something you should wear to a campus party ever. That and uggs. If you own animal print apparel, yoga pants, or uggs, burn them immediately and go buy some real clothes. I mean it.
Behind Sappire – “Last Night”
Vancity’s Behind Sapphire travels a lot, as should you eventually. If your parents have money, don’t ask for a BMW or a gold chain this Christmas, ask for a round trip ticket to Europe. Believe me, if they can afford to pay your tuition they can certainly afford your modest travel expenses.
