Are you ready for Canning?
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Well, judging from the set-list that Broken Social Scene played at Manning Bar earlier this year I could have sworn that it would be a Andrew Whiteman episode in the new Broken Social Scene Presents… series. Songs like Water in Hell seemed to be introduced in a way that we would be sure to see them released in this context.
Nevertheless, I am not complaining. Bredan Canning is the next in line for this series, and no doubt, this will be a Canadian round-up the likes of which I can not show to be knowledgeable of in any meaningful way…
Except for that he is pretty much the dude in the Canadian music scene. As such, about 392 people feature on the record. Arts and Crafts have a neat little promotional voyeur thing going on over at their site for the release, slotted for 22nd July, 2008. Apparently soccer and not answering your phone are inherently linked in Canada.
You can download one of the songs, apparently the single, Hit the Wall, from the above website. Or you know, if you are lazy, hit our link and contribute to our ever diminishing statistics. I prefer that you love us and show it.
Heres some live youtube videos of the new song.
Apparently they were playing these late last year, so why they chose not to showcase them at the Australian gigs is beyond me. Maybe Kevin wanted his to breat a little more. Which is fair enough. Cause despite popular opinion, I think his Spirit If… was amazing.
