d.B.g

I know there is another thread about Keane being sick of Coldplay comparisons, but I read how they were sick of it, and I thought to myself ... hmm, is the new album totally or even slightly different from Coldplay? That's debatable, and is being debated in the other thread. However, I more wanted to talk about Hamburg Song. Is it just me, or does the song have a remarkable similarity to Life is For Living?? to me the organ sound is soo similar! anyways let me know what you think.

yeah i'm sorry, i don't know why i put the doves down, i wasn't thinking straight. however, Bedouin Soundclash is another sweeeeeet band from Canada. Check out "When the Night Feels My Song" for those of you who have never heard of them, and for those of you who have heard that song, but no other Bedouin song, listen to "Gyasi Went Home"

Yes it does have them as co-writers!

i knew that it was Chris who wrote that song, at least parts of it! its soo his style, and not Nelly's, but the song is wicked. you should all get it immediately1

These are some of my favorite Canadian musicians and bands: Arcade Fire Stars K-Os Broken Social Scene Metric Sam Roberts Band Feist Amy Millan Chantal Kreviazuk Sarah McLachlan Wolf Parade Islands / Unicorns Bell Orchestre Doves Nelly Furtado (her new album "Loose" is siiick) The Stills Pilate Final Fantasy

So has anyone heard this track yet? Because I got the new Nelly Furtado album last night, and I've listened to the whoel thing. Its pretty good. Some of the tracks are absolutely sick. "All Good Things Come To An End" is one of the best tracks on the album, and I can totally picture Chris' voice on it. Listening to the lyrics I'm sure that he wrote a good chunk of them too, becuase they're different from what Nelly would traditionally write. Anyways, the song is not "rocky" at all. Its one of the softest songs on the album. I really don't see how Chris' voice could have sounded rocky!! Basically EMI, as always, have been huge dicks. Listen to it yourselves and let me know what you think. I honestly think that its a bit ridiculous. If you aren't able to find the track I'll post it tonight.

yeah it is very good. Ive been a fan of Sam's since his first album. Another sickk Canadian artist !

Yeah i also got it yesterday, and i have many oppinions about it. Generally I like it. I think some of their choices, arangements and instrumentations are fantastic. I like the variety of instruments used as well. Out of the norm .. I very much like the instrumental "Under the iron sea" its very "artsy" if you will. There are a couple tracks which are good, but just a bit blah, kind of just standard keane, and not very adventureous. That would be my main criticism. "Used to be a lovely boy" would have been a great substitute for one of these songs. I think "Nothing In My Way" should have been substituded for this one. My favorites are: 1. Atlantic 2. Frog Prince 3. Broken Toy 4. Crystall Ball 5. A Bad Dream but like i said, generally a good album.

I love the Adult Contemporary and Multiple Personality Disorder versions of Chicago.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but there are about three or for torrent sites with "Under the Iron Sea" listed. If you go to http://www.torrent-finder.com and search for keane, you'll see them all. I don't know whether or not this is legit..... any word on whether it has actually leaked yet?

Yeah . . IS IT?! I like Keane, but I'm not really in-the-loop on leaks and what-not to do with them!

I should have probably elaborated a bit. Islands is a new band formed by members of the Unicorns and other Canadian artists (including members of the Arcade Fire).

Aren't the Unicorns the bomb? If you like them, I hope you have "Return to the Sea" by the Islands.

Danielson - Ships

John Butler and the trio are good, BUT I'm a bigger fan of the John Mayer Trio!

Yeah! I'm also glad! Matt Costa is great! He's going to be a superstar some day soon, and TLo and I are going to be doing a lot of I-toldya-so-ing!!

Dani California vs. Desecraton Smile - Desecraton Smile Snow((Hey Oh)) vs. Tell Me Baby - Snow Charlie vs. Hard to Concentrate - Hard to Concentrate Stadium Arcadium vs. 21st Century - LOVE BOTH Hump de Bump vs. She Looks To Me - Hump de Bump She's Only 18 vs. Readymade = Readymade Slow Cheetah vs. If = If Torture Me vs. Make You Feel Better - Torture Me Strip My Mind vs. Animal Bar - Like both, but Animal Bar Especially In Michigan vs. So Much I - Especially in Michigan Warlocks vs. Storm In A Teacup - Warlocks C'mon Girl vs. We Believe - We Believe Wet Sand vs. Turn It Again - Wet Sand Hey vs. Death of a Martian = Death of a Martian

Well they have recorded the song in the studio, it just hasn't been released. Its been heard by a small crowd of people close to the band. There was a rumour that it might make it to the next album .. though I sincerely doubt it - it may, however, be a B-side in the future.

Yeah Matisyahu is pretty good. But for the record, Matisyahu is one person, who plays with a band. All his live shows and studio material are with a band, but Matisyahu refers to the one Rasta-Jew

Yeah I agree TLo. By the way TLo let me know how the Matt Costa show is. He was just in Toronto, but I couldn't get tickets. I will be seeing him in July when he comes back though! I'm pumped for it. By the way do you have the original "Songs We Sing" ? I realized that I have a reissued version, which has a different tracklist, and different versions.

Hmm i don't know, i like a bunch of the songs on Mars. I think they're both good, but there are probably a couple songs here and there that are samey

Just been listening to the Avalanche. Excellent Sufjan work once again. I love all of it! Especially having multiple versions of Chicago, so exciting! Coldplay should take a leaf out of his book, and start sharing more with the fans! I'd love all the outakes and versions of their tracks!

Yeah St. Elsewhere is crazyyy. Something about it reminds me of Andre 3000; both Cee Lo and Andre seem to be trying to do something totally different with hip hop, and they're both succeeding. Crazy is just a ridiculously catchy song. Get the song, and listen to the live version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wcOabajz8I8&search=gnarls%20barkley what a powerful live voice! my second favorite track is probably Gone Daddy Gone. But they are all gold!

I really like "Intervention" one of my favorite songs, and its one of their newest. It would be nice if it were to make it to the new album, I'd like to hear a studio version of it. But either way, great track! I also like "Sonata" "Winter for a Year" "Accidents" "The Great Arcade Fire" "The Woodland National Anthem" "No Cars Go" "Sleeping In a Submarine" and everything off Funeral!

Oh and there are a series of different tracks on the In The Sun EP. If you're talking about the live version featuring all of Coldplay, that was recorded at Austin City Limits, and released as part of Michael Stipe's Charity EP for Hurricane Katrina victims
