Am I the only guy that hears Everclear in Cage the Elephant's big hit Shake Me Down? It doesn't sound exactly like one particular Everclear tune, but it sounds vaguely like many of them. Maybe Cage the Elephant takes a lot of inspiration from the commercial "grunge" era, I don't know. The Elephant singer reminds me of the guy from Tripping Daisy, too. Perhaps I'm just getting old. What year is it again?

Canada Day is Every Day, Isn't It?
Canada Day has come and gone and all I did was post some Jr. Gone Wild. But hey, I'm not on any timetable, I can post Canuck music any time I want. Like now. Listen, watch, grab some free and legal downloads, some very new, some very old, all there just because I can. I especially like Abstract Artform's Winnipeg, The Express's Nobody Knows, Matt Masters's Highways (Manitoba references!), and The Warped 45s Grandpa Carl (our country's answer to Drive-by Truckers, maybe?). How 'bout you? Leave a comment at the bottom, please!,

Mike McDonald, Jr. Gone Wild, and Idyl Tea
It's Canada Day, plus Mike McDonald's Birthday a week ago, so I bring you one of my favourite bands of all time, Jr. Gone Wild. McDonald and his cohorts used to make me smile widely on a regular basis at the Spectrum with their unholy blend of rawk and roots and punk and pop. The following tune, I Don't Know All That (from the perfect album Too Dumb To Quit), may hold my personal record for most deliberate spins, if I kept records of such useless trivia. I definitely played this song so much at the record store I worked in that one (or more) of my co-workers tried to hide it, but my fellow Jr. fan sniffed it out so we could convert more unsuspecting locals to the fine flavours of JGW.

McDonald also sings on Idyl Tea's new song, listen to the lyrics if you want to know why that is the case.
The Same Thing by Idyl Tea
Jr. Gone Wild music may be hard to find for purchase these days, but you can try contacting Mike at his record store, you can get the Idyl Tea there for sure:
