6. Ungdomskulen, This Norwegian weirdness just set off my spell checker. Their name means “junior high”. I’m not an epileptic, but this video made me almost swallow my tongue.
5. Health, These guys are playing a dance club in the entertainment district of Toronto, this Friday. Some promoter really dropped the ball here. I really dig this band. Sorry about how the track cuts out, but I think this song went on for 3 days.
4. Holy F***, These boys’ parents must be really proud of the band name. This track takes about 10 seconds to load up, please be patient, it’s totally worth it. Where we’re going, we don’t need vocals…
3. Blonde Redhead, These guys remind me of vintage Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. They make great “soundtrack” music. This video is very trippy; I swear I’m not pulling a Farah Fawcett.
2. Hylozoists, This is a bit of a plug, but a worthy one. I used to hang out with Paul Aucoin (the lead genius in this collective) back in the day in Halifax. They were just featured on CBC radio and they played a brilliant live set. They don’t tour enough in my opinion.
1. Of Montreal with a contest winner, This band and this track have been on the Pix before, but not like this. This is basically ultimate karaoke; apparently the singer won a contest to sing with Of Montreal backing him up. He does ok for a novice, but the crowd and the band seem to really get into it.
