I guess I’m the only person here who just got his entire music collection called out.
At least I get to keep Danko Jones and Buck 65. They must still be cool.

"The single Save Your Scissors was even catchy enough to give Dallas Green the opportunity for a breakthrough slot at the Much Music Video Awards, which is a sentence so old-fashioned it may as well have contained the words ‘malt shoppe’ ‘stickball’ or ‘home ownership’."
Amazing.

Sloan is overrated and arcade fire is the nickel back of indie rock. I said what I said.

I've heard of most of these aside from #1. Who the hell is Broken Social Scene and when exactly was it supposed to define my tastes?
- They're essentially a musical collective/supergroup with a rotating membership.
- Who the hell is Broken Social Scene
  dies of shock X-p
- You Forget it in People and their self titled album are pretty great, especially the former. You might know them for having Feist and the singer of Metric as singers, or as Crash and the Boys from Scott Pilgrim (The music, not the actors).

Hahaha, I’ve never heard of any of these bands, I guess I should feel old.
- You should feel utterly disinterested in Canadian indie music. Even Americans know half those names!
- I think ive heard of Sloan and Arcade Fire, but I wouldn't even be able to name any of their songs or even what genre they do.

That stung. A lot.
That may not have hit home for everyone, but that definitely hit home for me and exactly my time and place in the world.
- I feel you, friend.

Nothing I listen to made the list. I'm going to eat my Red River cereal and cry.
