Well, at least you have a system which promotes your own culture. It used to be that way in the US, but (not so slowly) that eroded from regular airplay to a feature segments to nil. And yeah, there's Biebers and Nickelcrap in every country. Although we did get the best years of saturday night live from you you folks up north, thanks for that. The Drake thing just proves it's not so much to do with quality or innovation anymore in the mass market- it's about keeping it safe and formulaic because it's the lowest risk investment.

I don't know... My favourite SNL guys were Sandler, Farley, and Ferrell, but thanks for the kind words!

I live in Michigan by Sarnia Ontario, I grew up on Canadian/Detroit radio, it has definitely impacted my music taste.
I love the Trews and Danko Jones!
They are in the area all the time, Toronto is an hour away, too bad border crossing makes it not worth the hassle since , but oh the days back in early nineties! Campbell street, and Riverport ! Sigh..

Dude! I'm in Sarnia! Yeah, the Station was where it was at up until "the death of live music". Man, I lived in that place.
The Riverport... That was a whole different type of entertainment, lol (good clean, fully nude, strip bar- and when I say clean, I mean, not clean, lol)
Ps, Toronto is like 3 hours from here, lol.

I've heard of several of them and I'm a huge T Hip fan; however, your David Wilcox is a fraud. The REAL David Wilcox is here:

I actually found that guy in my searches and thought "I could've sworn David Wilcox was Canadian." I then realized it was a totally different guy and he is actually Canadian.

His best song is "doing it right on the bad side of town" but I couldn't even find it on youtube.

I cannot believe i forgot Chilliwack! Colin James and Sam Roberts were mentioned, as was Rough Trade (I always thought their singer was a man until my mom corrected me.) I did not even know the Spoons were Canadian but it makes sense.

Americans have definitely heard of Shania Twain and Jeff Healey.

You may be thinking of the Powder Blues band "Doing it right on the wrong side of town". Personally, I like David Wilcoxs' - Do the Bearcat. I saw him a couple of times in the 80s. A real bar room entertainer.
