So I guess Broken Social Scene has a new album out. Everybody and their dog is freaking out, and frankly I don't see the point. Another album of anti-climactic ambient instrumental garbage doesn't really do it for me. As a matter of fact:
Dear Canadian indie-rock bands,
We already have Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think, The Arcade Fire and Godpeed! You Black Emporors crowding up the pointless indie-pap catergory. That's already too many, so please don't feel obliged to join the party. Maybe try starting a real band instead.
Sequentially,
Tay
Come to think of it, the only thing that I like about any of these useless "supergroups" are the side-projects that they spawn. Metric, Feist, Final Fantasy and Stars come to mind. I wonder how the hell such mediocre melodramatic bullshit can turn into really awesome acts that we can proudly call Canadian? I think the conversation would have to go a little likte this:
"Hey, you wanna dump these losers, stop playing music that sounds like a Downs-Syndrome jam session, and start playing actual music?"
"...sure!"
That's really all I have to say about that.

Your brain is Ka Ka.
metric, stars, feist etc are not side projects, those are the broken social scene members original bands. BSS is more of a side project
