Canadian Musicians Love to Count!



If you liked Feist's 1 2 3 4 you might also like the new K-Os tune 4 3 2 1! The new video is out this week:



Proving that K-Os can do everything Feist can, even backward! So how about it Sesame Street? After all, those kids might need to do a countdown for NASA someday!



P.S. if you're still in the mood for counting songs don't forget the Diskettes 12345!

Indie TV Canada is Coming

There has been a link for them up on the site for awhile now, but I don't remember if I've ever actually written anything about them, so you should know indieTV.ca is online and indieTV should be coming to your cable dial soon.
"The CRTC has granted the company a licence to broadcast a National Digital Television Channel playing 100% Canadian music by acts and artists who are not funded by, signed to or physically distributed by the four major multinational music labels (EMI, SONY/BMG, Warner, Universal) or their subsidiaries.

The station will be one part of the Ultimate Indie Meshwork which will include the TV channel, internet website and mobile platform."
For more info on the coming TV channel and a sample programing grid visit the about section of their website. Since MTV and Much music have pretty much abandoned music - except for the occasional commercial schlock a network that just played indie music video all the time would dramatically improve the odds of there being something on television.

The website already contains hundreds of videos and a social media like platform that allows you to 'friend' the bands you like. Go and have a look about and sign up while the good user names are still available!

Boost: Rites of Spring 3D Music Video

Yep, you read that right, a 3D music video from the Superfantastics. If you don't happen to have 3D glasses (guessing alot of you don't) you'll just have to imagine, or maybe this will give you the excuse you've been looking for to go get some. Whether you can get the full effect or not, you have to applaud the initiative - to create a 3D music video!

If you like please pass it on, the link to share it on Facebook is right here. If you want to hear more of the Superfantastics (I highly recommend seeing them live) check out the Facebook Fanpage and grab a few free downloads here.




Boost: Canadian Music is a Facebook Group that, once a week, asks people to watch a music video on youtube, rate it, comment on it and share it on facebook if they like it. There is frequently a link to a facebook group, page or other source where people who like the music can find more information or keep up with the band. Canadian artists frequently have little or no money for marketing/promotion - this is a small step to try and help them out by putting their video in front of as many eyes as possible.
