"all represented by small, independently run labels, which Drew says take the time to foster talent." Although I do agree with him, he couldn't have been talking about himself because Broken Social Scene had by far the worst performance of the night, if that's any indication of their music I would rather listen to a Canadian Idol any day than that horribly out of key noise. If someone is going to bash something else at least have some credibility when doing it.

I didn't see the Junos, but they must have had a bad night. I saw them here in Calgary on their last Canadian tour and I thought they were excellent, including the lead singer. They were also on Conan O'Brien recently, and the song they played, "7/4 (shoreline)" sounded amazing. Sometimes getting all those musicians on stage doesn't work that well, and obviously that's what happened at the Junos. But don't knock 'em till you hear more of their stuff. They're a pretty cool band.
