The Weakerthans is by all-time favorite band. They're an indie band from Canada. I don't think they are that well known, but from what I know, they have 4 albums out. Their songs are very mellow, and the lyrics are so poetic. I listen to them any time I can in any mood I'm in. To me, their music is simply perfect. <3

http://www.myspace.com/theweakerthans (has some of their new songs up)

I've actually never listened to any of their songs...but I'll definitely have to check them out sometime. ^^

Thanks.

Aside has a lot of really good imagery in the lyrics. >w< I love scribbling the song lyrics down when I'm bored, hehe.

Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives, drowning in the pools of other lives. Rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony, get clobbered on by courtesy, in love with love and lousy poetry.

And I'm leaning on this broken fence between past and present tense. And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play. But it almost feels okay.

Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty. Armed with every precious failure, and amateur cartography. I'm breathing deep before I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor.

And I'm leaning on this broken fence between past and present tense. And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play. But it almost feels okay.

And I'm leaving, wave good-bye. And I'm losing, but I'll try with the last ways left to remember, sing my imperfect offering.

Sure is. XD A lot of my favorite music artists and awesome friends of mine come from Canada. I wish I lived in America's hat sometimes. :B
