Is Broken Social Scene getting big there, yet? You might like their new album, judging from your list, jasonvb.

Yeah, they’re just one of those haven’t-quite-gotten-to-them-yet sort of bands for me. I have their latest album but have been so busy with other new music I haven’t given them a proper listen. I do have a thing for Canadian musicians though, so I’m expecting to dig them a lot.
