Clearly it's one of the strongest music scene's in the world. The American one seems so huge, impersonal and hopless.
I wanted to list a bunch of cool bands as a tribute to our hipness and awesomeness but i got lazy. I will tommorow, anyone else want to list a few?

DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979

Brian Byrne

exactly, despite how wrong you are, we're a democracy and i can't beat sence into your Kern's lovin head....just like you guys can't force me to spell properly
I guess the rest of your music is cool though.

Instead we should beat Kerns loving into Sean, i think thats a more excellent solution, since Todd Kerns, clearly kicks ass.

his name does make me think of Kerny from the Simpsons, and hes kick ass
im sure we can all agree with that

He has cool connections in music i'll give him that. And some ok material, he's gets my respect not my money.
I heard if Scott Weiland wasn't availible for Velvet Revolver their second choice was Todd, weird.........apparently they even wrote songs together.

Yeah, He really was their second choice.
I love him from Age of the Electric
. He did Static In Stereo, which I never listened to, hehe, and then made his solo record, which i adore and listen to daily
He was also in a Canadian Indie Film, called Horsey.

Age of Electric was cool but Ryan wrote lots of the melodies i heard. Plus if i'm correct the entire song "Remote Control" is Ryan's, Todd just sings it.
