The Oedipus Project
The Con X: Covers is a 10-year celebration of Tegan and Sara’s album The Con.
Like-minded friends (Hayley Williams, Ryan Adams, Chvrches, PVRIS, Bleachers, and Cyndi Lauper to name a few) have adapted the songs from the original and proceeds benefit the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women.
Grimes and HANA (under the name Trashique) cover Dark Come Soon.
Dark Come Soon
We had some friends over the other night who wanted to watch the opening ceremony of the winter Olympics. Hopefully you didn’t waste precious moments of your life viewing this sorry excuse for a spectacle. It was like a bad high school production with a large budget. Ok, let me say it straight. It sucked! Sorry to my friends North. And as the commentators fell all over themselves telling us how wonderful it was, I could not help thinking that it certainly was not the Canada that I know and love. Musically it did give proper deference to Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, but the rest were American Idol wannabes. Where was Neil Young or even Rush for that matter, the latter at least having a prominent cameo in the popular film I Love You Man. Here are few other artists that I think of when I think of Canada.
