Oh Canada!

Tomorrow morning Jason and I are catching a flight to Montreal. We’re gonna spend a few days up there and in Quebec City and do a little snowboarding.
It seems that in the last few years there’s been some really great music coming out of that area. The Arcade Fire, Stars, Stills, Islands, Unicorns, Godspeed You Black Emperor are all from Montreal.
But none of them can hold a candle to one of my all-time favorite bands, who just happen to be from Montreal, as well. Bran Van 3000 is made up by about 15 musicians and they’re a mixture of trip-hop, electronic, and indie-rock. And its quirky. No two songs are similar, but I love it through and through. Unfortunately there last release was in 2001, and it doesn’t appear that they’re gonna be getting back together anytime soon.
Here’s Bran Van’s video for Couch Surfer…
Here’s the video for Drinking in LA.
