So what other Canadian bands should I be listening to? I've really enjoyed the Spirit of the West albums that I ordered last week...the Rheostatics, of coures...I think the Unicorns are Canadian...
Any lesser known bands to check out?

Thanks! I'm going to see The Weakerthans when they stop at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill this month. Reconstruction Site is a great album. The Weakerthans have been getting lots of airplay on the local college stations in NC....well, at least in Greensboro and Chapel Hill.

I think I remember a Headstones video from the first year we got Much Music down here('93 or '94, I can't remember). Are The Headstones still around?

Yes, sadly they split but Hugh Dillon, the lead singer, is pulling solo strings soon. There's a thread, just look for "Hugh Dillon".... :thumb:
