There is a difference between snow and cold. I don't mind snow so much, just not -15 or -20 temps. That makes me a bit cross. In fact: BEFOREAFTERMore Canada rock music for your intense pleasure:

Weird how Canada looks like England . I always think of Canada as log cabins and snow and the odd Moose. Anyhow on with some great music from the best music show ever ! The Old Grey Whistle Test . A brillian performance form Robert Wyatt. And one for Mr Musty . John Ottaway.

There's no pleasin' some people!
Talking Heads 77 is in my top 10 or so favorite albums. Remain in Light is a winner too.
Robert Wyatt? Another record I really like is Soft Machine Third.
Some years ago there was a TV special called "Rick Mercer Talks To Americans". It was an expose on how ignorant Americans are of their next door country. Rick would get them to say stupid things on camera. For example: "congratulations Canada on 800 miles of paved road" or "Congratulations Canada on legalising insulin". Or... "Should we ask your country, the U.S. if we can use their BIG tug boat to help us. Because of global warming the polar ice cap is going to split in two and Canada will be bi-polar. We could use the U.S. tug along with our big tug boat and put the two halves back together again".
In fact:
I just realised that a lot of it is only funny to Canadians.

There's this brilliant picture taken of the front row at a 1979 AC/DC concert and half of those kids were demonstrating their air guitar acrobatics. As far as the tasteful video goes, I don't remember how I stumbled across it. I was looking for something else, very grown up and mature no doubt, and I found that. And I just had to bookmark it for all my friends. And I'm not American, I'm Canadian Mr. Anderson, Canadian! (matrix/Gill Anderson reference) and I'm very sharp indeed. For example, Think of a number, any number... WRONG!See there how brilliant I am? CANADAFunny Caption: "Fortified Milk? Check. Hot Girl? Check". Vince and Esther prepare for an evening of destroying rare Beatles Vinyl.

Congratulations End (The), and thank you for playing SPOT THE KITTY
See? it can be done.
Here's some more Canada: (The new swear word?) This is obviously my personal propaganda channel. Infiltrate the ranks and slowly introduce my communist Fatherland Homeland picks for brilliant outstanding music for the planet earth and of all planets of the Solar Federation, for that matter.
P.S. Does anybody know why those air guitar contests never feature music like twist and shout or And I Love Her?

No it`s a bit plain is Jane . Is it me Amadeus but your taste in Canadian music (R.N.I)* Sounds all a bit 80`s . No disrespect Which leads me to my next Tubby I watched Drive the other night . What a brilliant film . I cannot reconmend this film enogh ! The soundtrack is so 80`s But it`s brilliant (barring the last tune on the tubby) Enjoy ! I did. Yes. The lead man is Canadian . I still can`t find that darn cat ! * Rush Not Included . Japanese Tourist Board BitAir Guitar . This little video is just want Air guitar is not about ! Cheating ! For a start . It`s a guitar ! Anyway . I love Japanese stuff and everything about the place . So I forgive them . This young lady has the moves and even gives Ritchie a run for his money . I mean have you seen him ? Miserable bloke with a floppy hat . This lady plays Smoke with that ever lasting smile on her face . End Of Japanese BitAir Guitar Beatles .
