A few nights ago, I received an instant message from a very good friend of mine. She forced me to listen to Broken Social Scene for the first time. Now, while I had heard whispers about this band before, I was too lazy to investigate them. However, as soon as the music video was playing on my Mac, I was hooked like a hooker is to sex.
I didn’t expect them to be anything out of the ordinary, but I was proved wrong. The band has catchy songs and delicious topics. They’re not your ordinary indie band, no, they are far better. The massive group of them (really, I would get sick of being around that many people on a tour. It would be beyond annoying. I give them props.) preform very well together to produce the exquisite tunes. They’re music varies from a female singer to a male, acoustic guitar to electric and really has a wide range. Their albums You Forgot in People and Feel Good Lost are two of my personal favorites and since I downloaded them, I haven’t been able to stop listening to them. “I’m Still your Fag” is my alarm clock song that I wake up to every morning. This post has been poor and late but if it has helped you find a small flicker of love for them deep in your ironic hearts, listen to them.
More of their music can be found on their myspace or their purevolume. Enjoy and happy listening!
By the way, I am terribly sorry, Paul. I seemed to get a bit distracted by concerts and coffee shops.
