I loved OLP when I was in high school (mid to late 90's) and even met Raine Maida at a show in my hometown! I love his wife's music too, although she's a little sappy at times. Another Canadian favorite of mine is Esthero - love her early stuff! I should drag out all my old CDs. And probably check out Metric while I'm at it.<Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-62271842322510114892010-11-17T09:34:52.299-08:002010-11-17T09:34:52.299-08:00Anne, so you were cutting edge back then!

My favorite radio station when I still lived in Ohio was out of Windsor, so I heard bands like BNL before they got really popular in the US (another Canadian favorite of mine that got big and kinda disappeared was Our Lady Peace - I wonder whatever happened to them...).<br /><br />I like your concert Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-15300251435772158792010-11-16T16:44:38.355-08:002010-11-16T16:44:38.355-08:00Thanks, Steph!
