a very happy birthday goes to out to rachel. this picture here is for you cause you said that you like it so. may all you wildest dreams come true.

my favourite canadian album is...

one - the superfriendz - mock up, scale down.

Full of energetic, memorable pop songs, the Super Friendz' full-length debut is a smart and sweet concoction. Witty lyrics and brisk, hopelessly harmonious arrangements are peppered throughout, and while several songs wander into mediocrity, crisp standouts like "10 lbs.," "Undertow," "When They Paid Me" and "Better Call" make up for the album's few weaknesses. The Wings-ish "One Day" is a wonderfully melodic denouement. Sometimes moody and observant, often sentimental and wistful, Mock Up is a noteworthy introduction to the Friendz. The album was nominated for a Juno award in 1996 for Best Alternative Album.

this is just a really amazing album. they are easily the best of the bands that came of the nineties east coast scene. sloan wrote alot of hits but the superfriendz wrote songs. amazing three part harmonies that can't be matched by any canadian band. i remember reading somewhere that in total the superfriendz only sold three thousand albums. i still find it so hard to believe that a album as good as this one can only be shared with so few people. if you like any of the following bands you will love this album, television, beatles, sloan, and the kinks. anyway's check it out and i hope that you enjoy it as much as i do.
