Walking down Markham Street towards Bloor this eve in heavy, gentle snowfall... Listening to "Amsterdam" by the Evil Doers... put me in mind of other places, other times and brought a smile to my face. Strangely happay and peaceful thoughts on a snowy evening in a Canada under a conservative minoroty, but certainly welcome for a number of reasons...
This winter hasn't been much of a winter around here, not after the last two years' winters (all those living in Ottawa feel free to mock us down here).
Anyhow, with such a lackluster winter there's not a lot of opportunity to go for a walk in the snow. What can I say, I enjoy it, reminds me of Saturday evenings in the winter when I was a kid, in Ellcottville with the family skiing all day.
In short, I can dig it.
Given this opportunity, I loaded up the shuffle with a new playlist and went for a a stroll to get myself a latté.
Here's the rundown:
First Impressions of Earth - the Strokes
Get Behind Me Satan - the White Stripes
Gran Turismo - the Cardigans
Hearts of Oak - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Lazy Line Painter Jane - Belle & Sebastian
Mellow Gold - Beck
Pre-Millenium Tension - Tricky
Some of my Best Friends are DJs - Kid Koala
The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks
The Uplift Mofo Party Plan - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Welcome to the Show - Evil Doers
