Keep your promises.

At concerts for bands that sound like that I yell

(that's neither compliment nor insult)

Ooo... I love Radiohead, too, especially their stuff before their "experimental" records.

Interesting.

This is the song that seems to go "after" Street Spirit to a lot of Canadians, I've heard it on the radio like this many times, not sure where the tradition came from. I think the relatively happy Sloan song pulls you out of the funk of "Street Spirit".

Sloan - People of the Sky

Ha, I don't quite get the connection, but the song is pretty good. Lead singer yawning... cute.

Ah, you crazy non-Canadians, not knowing Sloan.

There is no "lead singer" per se. All four band members write songs for each album - like the Beatles, but slightly more balanced in the talent department. Then they rotate instruments to let the songwriter sing his own song. They're playing on this with the "rock-paper-scissors" for the drums.

Is it true you can use Canadian Tire money in place of real money in Canada? I was buys books off ebay and the dude wanted only Canadian Tire money.

That's like saying,

Is it true you can use food stamps in place of real money in America?

Depends on how much the other person values that other form of "money".
