Sloan "I Hate My Generation"

Here's another Weekend Post:


Like a Canadian Pavement, with multiple singers . . .


Hear the song on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show.  They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are fun to revisit.

The Odds "Heterosexual Man"

Here's another Weekend Post:
Is there anything more 90s than a clever, Canadian, riffy rock song with a video featuring Kids In The Hall?

Chilliwack "My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)"

I'm feeling mighty Canadian this weekend, for no apparent reason.

Back when MTV only had a handful of videos, they used to spin this one over and over.

Silly Canadians and their one hit wonders. (In Canada, these guys have, like, five hits)

The Pursuit Of Happiness "I'm An Adult Now"

I'm feeling mighty Canadian this weekend, for no apparent reason.

I like how, if you close your eyes, it sounds like the band is trying to be menacing. Then, if you look at the video, the band is about as threatening as a slice of Canadian White Bread.

But this is an awesome time-and-place song, perfect for the pre-Nirvana world.
