a band like broken social scene makes me proud to be canadian.  proud to be from a city like toronto where independent music is original, deep and renowned.  it is amazing hearing from Australians how great the canadian music scene is.  how our artists are international rockstars, considered to be brilliant musician with eclectic sound.  i am slowly starting to become aware of music again.  appreciating it more.  but bss, they’ve always been a favourite, their lyrics something you can relation to while enduring a break up and a sound that you can lose yourself in, literally “being taken away”.  tonight, i was right back at home, front row to one of the bands that would be repeated on the soundtrack to my life.
