Kirstie loves Canada
Well, of course I do….I mean, having lived for so long so close to the border, I learned to love the finer cultured things in life (which also means Canada) I even went as a Canadian to a Halloween party…ok, ok you got me. That just meant I put on my Besnard Lakes shirt and said “eh” a couple times more than usual. Anyhow, my love for Canada should be obvious considering there’s a whole category for the country on this blog.
I’ve been doing some work for Venus Zine for about a year now (go check out their site!) It focuses on women in music and the arts in general and they are a great group of people there. That being said, some of my reviews appear there instead of here now. The best way to keep up with shows I’ve seen is to subscribe to the RSS feed or just keep checking my flickr site
Three great Canadian bands I’ve seen lately (besides The Weakerthans below and Caribou, which I’ll put up tomorrow) are Stars and Broken Social Scene. If you’re so inclined, feel free to follow the links below.

Last but not least, if you’re obsessed with Canadian music in general as much as I am, feel free to check out my set of Canadian bands only on flickr

These New Pornographers are great. I saw them in Paris and really enjoyed myself there.
