Week Se7en: Japandroids - Younger Us

Andrew Bruce William Cameron (known to his closest pals simply as Andy) is a great man. Lately I've been consistently brimming with pride over his new, exciting entrepreneurial venture in North Van, Olives on Tap (http://www.olivesontap.com/). I've had the pleasure of chatting with my dear old friend more than usual lately, so maybe that's why this particular tune echoed so loudly down the cobbled lanes of my memory.

The abbreviated backdrop to all this would simply be: Andy lived on a futon in the front room of an apartment in Antigonish for the the entire winter term of 2007. To say the least, Marty MacIntyre and I might not have always been the most considerate of our futoned roommate but boy did he prove his salt. The following line from the SoW is what has been making my smile all week:

Remember that night you were already in bed
Said fuck it, got up to drink with me instead

Cheesy, simple, but beautiful. Here's one of Canada's best bands singing about one of Canada's best people (in my mind they are).

Song of the Week: Japandriods - Younger Us

Nomination: Tom is down with Grimes. You probably are too. One time I thought I got it all and jumped it up to a top ten 'Album of the Year' candidate, but now I'm back to where I was... meaning she's good but meh, I'd rather Crystal Castles. Tom suggests we all listen to the following track and admire it's catchiness. What are your thoughts on her? Real deal?

Grimes - Vanessa
