Great list! Especially Glen Hansard!
Holy crap! An update. ;)
Where's "Toxic" by Britney Spears? ;)
I'm down with "Banquet."
"Fashion is Danger" rules.
Posing.
The annoyed look Kristen Wigg sports when one of the dick-wielders tries to shove a rose in her face makes me giggle.
Luna, Belle and Sebastian... I had no idea these groups were still making high quality music. (Slightly out of touch.)
I have "The Coast is Always Changing" by Maximo Park in one of YouTube play lists. (I love umlauts, but only if their usage is grammatically applicable.
The Scissor Sisters are kinda gay. ;)
You introduced me to !!! :)
Woo-hoo! Canadian content: The New Pornographers, Ron Sexsmith, Hugh Dillon.
British Sea Power sounds like a Test Dept. side project.
The singer for TV on the Radio is in this obscure little gem called Jump Tomorrow; you should check it out. ;)
Thanks, Christiejolu.
Yes, Yums, an update! Imagine that! :)
Luna broke up mid-decade. B&S are still churning out music.
Posing a threat. :D
A list of mine without CanCon? That would be crazy talk. Joel Plaskett is Canadian, too.
LOL at your Jump Tomorrow comment.
Speaking of CanCon, my other half bought seasons 2-4 of The Kids in the Hall. I hope HBO or some cool channel will pick up that new miniseries of theirs.
No Britney, no Lady Gaga...
