Time for another trip back! This time we are looking back to Canadian Indie albums of 2010. For those of you that were listening to CBC R3 back in the old days, many tracks will be familiar. There are a lot of tracks that might not be as familiar but the artist playing them is because it was from an earlier album before you became aware of them. So while it is a look back at 2010 there may still be some new to you tracks.
We started with 2006 in March because I was hoping to make this a monthly playlist and there are 12 months in a year and 2006 was 12 years ago. I missed June by a few days but we are back on track now. The plan is to do a playlist about albums from 2010 this time and 2011 next month, etc for the next year and then see how it goes from there. It can be fun to check back and see what music we still love and what music we once loved but have moved on from and to find out what we missed. I made a YouTube playlist that you can find below, with most of the same songs that are on the Spotify playlist.
2009 brought us great albums from Arcade Fire, Black Mountain, Broken Social Scene, Caribou, Holy Fuck, Stars, New Pornographers and so many more. It is hard to believe it has been 8 years since these albums came out. It’s a great trip back in time listening to tracks from them. Enjoy the ride!
Good morning!
hello
Hello!
I am off to Gateway Fest today. I have a few things to get done this morning and then away we go! 😀
Gateway, wow! Kathleen, John K. S., Yukon B, Elliott Br., etc! https://dengarden.com/gardening/Pine-Cone-Ginger-More-than-Just-a-Pretty-Face-in-Your-Yard
I know!! I am looking forward to it. 😀
I am not sure what the gardening has to do with it. hehe
Oopsie, wrong link. It was supposed to be one to the fest…
Fashion Blues, by The Beauties! So good, and man, it works well live! Gave me shivers all over again.
I’d never seen the video for *Meet Me in the Basement*. It is quite something! Reminded me of Costa-Gravas 60s cinéma vérité, or something…
And *Odessa* (aka chicken steak), by Caribou. Another great song. One of those rare cases, however, where someone did a cover, and bested it: Sarah Harmer for Polaris (I think).
It’s raining again here, only our 3rd, and biggest, thunder storm of the day
Similar here, but only our first of the day. Big though, and our grounds are saturated.
that font/colour combo used in the blog header graphic is very 1990
have fun at Gateway, Darlene. Hope you get some crowd surfing in during the Chixdiggit set!
been awhile since I heard that Beauties song Fashion Blues in the playlist up top. ‘Tis a gooder.
Also, who the hell knew Bran Van was making music in 2010? I thought they made “Drinking in LA” and that was it.
