It's the triumphant return of Music Fridays! (I swear I'll retcon in some more interesting stuff soon). This Friday, another one from the Boys (and Girl) From The Rock: Hey Rosetta! Possibly my favourite Canadian band (Hawksley doesn't really count). They made the following video over the Christmas/New Years period in St. John's, I think, and it's got all kinds of Rock culture, from Newfie ballerinas to MUMMERS! It's also, you know, touching, and dance-inducing, and it builds in that same awesome way of so many HR! songs. Check it out. It's beautiful like little else, and it's done a good job of giving me a necessary dose of Canadian.
I hate to be a bit of a douchebag like Alan Cross at the Polaris Prize this year (when he said that he always knew Broken Social Scene was going to make it big) but, for me, ever since I saw just Tim strumming and pianoing alone on stage before a Sarah Slean concert, I've known there was something wild and fantastic about Hey Rosetta! They did pretty well with their last album, "Into Your Lungs...", but I hope that their new disc, "Seeds," is going to be the one that really sees them explode onto the Canadian scene.
