Yesterday's post reminded me of this shot I took ages ago with my Lomo LC-A. I used Kodak Elitechrome slide film and cross-processed it, hence the crazy yellow-green.
Speaking of Rock n Roll...I was asked by Mathew over at I (heart) Music to come up with my top 10 hottest Canadian bands for 2006, along with about 40 other music-type people. I'm a little late on this one (story of my life), but here are the results (posted last week).
The criteria was pretty open to interpretation, so I decided to base my answers mainly on seeing them live. Here were my picks, and a very brief note on why I chose them:
1) King Khan - blew everyone out of the water at NXNE
2) Deadly Snakes - even though they're done now
3) Metric - where *wasn't* Metric this year??
4) Billy Talent - say what you will, but they're going places...fast.
5) Malajube - French goodness that I don't understand but still love
6) Cadence Weapon - not even a big hip hop fan, but I loved him, and he was everywhere this year
7) Tokyo Police Club
8) Les Breastfeeders - another French band...this choice was a bit out there, but they were impressive live and gained many fans here recently
9) Emily Haines (solo)- Separated this choice from Metric because it's like comparing apples and oranges
10) MSTRKRFT - again, everywhere this year
What would your picks be?
P.S. The title of this post is a bit of an obscure reference, unless you're a big U2 fan.
