I seriously got an email from them last week.

They apparently read my blog and would like me to review their latest.

I like the Hollerado record (Record in a Bag). It's a fun one. Besnard Lakes last one was really good. The Young Galaxy record is good too. I forget what it's called. Islands are good. Not sure how 'indie' these are but I'm old.

Not Canadian, but I really like Hayes Carll and Bill Callahan and Girls. And the Real Estate album is great too.

Broken Social Scene : I know they are not exactly under the radar, but I feel with last years album, they really made a statement on how good they are.

I'm also a big fan of You Say Party, Milimetrik, Matthew Barber, Wolf Parade and a few others that escape me at the moment.

I'm gonna have to say it: Entire Cities. Sorry for the shameless plug here.

Canadian: The Acorn, Ohbijou, Timber Timbre. I guess all of those are pretty folky. That's the sort of thing I like these days!

Not Canadian: friggin' TUNE-YARDS. Usually styled tUnE-yArDs. She is unbelievable. Also the new Mountain Goats is awesome.

Definitely an opinion that should be trusted. You've always been known for being trustworthy, honest and having good judgement.

Not good, not Canadian and not indie, but they are a band.

The Forest City Lovers cover "The Lines You Amend" on this, if anyone cares. Lots of other '90s East Coast covers, too. And Jr. Gone Wild! Best Canadian alt-country band ever. Plus some chick ruins "Grace, Too" by the Tragically Hip.

Is there any love for the new Golden Seals cd? I am really digging the Sloan/Posies/Jellyfish vibe on this.

Ha! The drummer works at my local St. John's Music. Plus he plays in another band with my buddy. I see him all the time.

He may (or may not) find it interesting that his band is the butt of so many jokes to many of the people who have posted to this list.
