Monday Mixtape #7

So two weeks today I shall be flying into Montreal to spend a year eating maple syrup, chasing bears, and saying "eh?" a lot, so it is only fitting that this week's theme is:

CANADA!!!

Don't worry, there's no Godspeed You! Black Emperor or A Silver Mt. Zion in sight; as great as those bands are, somehow twenty minute apocalyptic post-rock songs don't seem to fit into the whole 'mixtape' vibe. If you think I've missed a band out, it'll for a couple of reasons - I've not heard of them; I don't particularly like them (such as Besnard Lakes or Les Breastfeeders); or the band is set to feature at some point later this week. I once played 'Dundas, Ontario' by Manitoba (before he became Caribou) to my Dad while we were driving, and he pulled over because he though the noises were the sound of the car breaking down; hopefully you'll have a similar reaction. Enjoy.
