So on this Country French Blog thing there is a section here called “Will’s Ramblings”. I’ve never really taken advantage of this little feature but I think I will now because I’m bored and there are only so many episodes of Cake Boss that I can watch at one time. Run on sentence. So this particular blog post will be my re-introduction to this whole techno-bleepblorp-future-sphere blog thing. I figure there are at least a few interesting things I can do on here every now and then like lists and thoughts and some giveaways and junk like that.
SPEAKING OF LISTS!!
I’ve been on a big Canadian music kick lately (more so than usual), and it seems that five groups have sifted their way to the top of my playlists.
1. Said The Whale – They put out an amazing album this year. If you have yet to hear “Islands Disappear” then you should correct this immediately. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one make the Polaris list.
2. Zeus – Amazing band. I wish I had written all of their songs. I can’t wait to get my mitts on their full-length album.
3. The Zolas – One of the best pop bands out there. We toured with them almost a year ago and not a day has passed since where I don’t find myself singing one of their songs in my head.
4. Arkells – “Jackson Square” is the finest rock album I’ve heard in a while. They are awesome guys and they would also like to remind you to come and visit Ontario because it is very nice here and there are lots of montage-y fun and pretty stuff to do and see here.
5. Bend Sinister – I’m relatively new to them, but I’m catching on quickly. I heard their song “Jimmy Brown” and then immediately downloaded (legally) everything I could from them off of the iTunes.
So that’s my top 5 for this, the February 1st.
POST YOUR LIST!!
BEST WISHES, WILL
