I'll probably fetch "Everything Reminds Me of My Dog" from you later, in that case.
That is great, quirky, fun song. Have not heard that in years.

I probably won't be able to get them uploaded until early next week. I left my copy at work & I'm not going back until I absolutely have to![8D]

[Moparmark]

Trust me I,m Canadian all you need from the 80,s from Canada is The Forgotten Rebels and Chalk Circle.

[zill]

In no particular order, I would recommend the following:

The Spoons – Nova Heart, Old Emotions
Men Without Hats – I Got the Message, Safety Dance, I Like
Blue Peter – Don’t Walk Past, Radio Silence
The Payolas – Eyes of a Stranger, Where is This Love
The Box – Must I Always Remember
Martha and the Muffins – Echo Beach, Black Station, White Stations (M+M)
Strange Advance – We Run, She Controls Me
Red Rider – White Hot, Lunatic Fringe, Human Race
Platinum Blonde – It Doesn’t Really Matter, Standing in the Dark
Luba – Everytime I See Your Picture, Let It Go
Tic Toc – Twenty Questions
The Kings – Switching to Glide
Boys Brigade – The Passion of Love, Melody
The Arrows – Meet Me in the Middle
Pukka Orchestra – Listen to the Radio
Dalbello – Pretty Girls
Sherry Keane – I Want You Back
Gowan – Criminal Mind
Leonard Cohen – Closing Time
Corey Hart – Sunglasses at Night
Rough Trade – High School Confidential
Parachute Club – Rise Up
Jane Siberry – Mimi on the Beach
Bruce Cockburn – If I Had a Rocket Launcher
Rush – New World Man, Subdivisions

There are a lot of Canadian bands from the late 70’s and early 80’s that I would consider to be more rock oriented, like Rush, Saga, Prism, Streetheart, Trooper, Loverboy, Headpins, Chilliwack, Toronto, Harlequin, Aldo Nova, maybe even Honeymoon Suite if you like that sort of thing.

If buffalochipz is reading this, I challenge him to tell me how many Gords there are among all the band members from my list!

On my calendar, it said that today (July 1st) was Canada Day. Happy Belated Canada Day! Let's throw a party.

I'd highly recommend the Pointed Sticks & the Diodes.

[WolverineSyr]

I uploaded 4 Jane Siberry albums:

No Borders Here 1984
The Speckless Sky 1985
Bound By The Beauty 1989
When I Was a Boy 1993

I suppose she fits somewhere between Suzanne Vega, Anne Clark & the Cocteau Twins.

[jumpshift]

Wow Whistledog, Now that's what i call a collection. I don't know where i could find a collection of songs like that. Most of those songs i've never heard before. I'm interested.

[firefall]

Anyone for Sweeney Todd and Nick Gilder? I just listened ''hot child in the city'' and thinking how great performer Gilder was.

One To One (I wrote their biography on the All-Music Guide) had a Top-40 hit in the Philippines with "Angel in My Pocket" and so did FM with "Frozen Heart." Whistledog, can you e-mail me your Darkroom mp3s?
