That's what I have after watching that pointless trainwreck of a BSS video.

WHat is the point of BSS anymore? Some sort of write-off conduit for drinking and socializing?

Not that I don't totally agree that that video was brutual...but it was made by a FAN it's not their music video. In response to what HUK said, Broken Social Scene is a group of really creative, talented musicians. If you don't believe so, listen to all the side projects: feist, metric, apostle of Hustle, Stars. Not to mention Jason Collett, and the fantastic solo work by Brendan Canning, Kevin Drew, and Charles Spearin. They aren't perfect, they don't always make the mark, but they are talented, and they have put Canadian music on the map again.

BSS might be a talented bunch of musicians but they suffer from a crippling disease called "overexposure". and BSS put Canadian music on the map again?!? what a load of bullshit. i would hardly say Canadian music was non-existent until BSS came along.

also, let's give credit where credit is due, Feist wouldn't be where she is if it weren't for Gonzales.

haha, you have no idea what you're talking about. After the first comment i just thought you felt like bitching for the sake of bitching, but after your second comment I know to not take you seriously. If you dislike overexposed music, go talk to Edwin (I Mother Earth); he's currently serving drinkins at Tattoo while BSS continues to sell a truckload of records.

steve, do you even know who gonzales is? do you not realize what he's done for feist's career? if not, take a listen to her first solo record and then "let it die". hear the difference? i guess if she hadn't hooked up with gonzales then she would have found someone else to collaborate with and the result would have been the same, right? feist has a beautiful voice but take a look at who co-wrote songs with her and who arranged some of her music and who produced her. it's not surprising that the songs on "the reminder" that she wrote alone are merely filler. but that last sentence is just my opinion.
