Wow... that's a broad statement! And a Feist fan...? :confused:

Yep - I'm not a fan of Canadian pop in general. I find it bland for the most part (The Tragically Hip would be a prime example). Don't get me wrong - I'm not slamming all Canadian music, but when it comes down to it, none of my favourite artists come from Canada. I've always been much more into what has come out of the U.K. and the U.S. (And Jamaica, and West Africa, and Brazil, and...). But yeah, I thought Feist's first album was brilliant and very well-produced.
