i went to see the darjeeling limited with my brother this weekend. it was surprisingly good, based on the preview; not surprisingly good based on wes anderson's scorecard with pretentious upper class young people like me n bro. i really did love rushmore.

and again, wes proved his ability to ace a soundtrack. A new favorite featured in this movie is peter sarstedt, a british hit-machine with only one real hit way back in 1969: where do you go to my lovely. but hey, i found another. it has to do with love, and rescue, and of course frozen orange juice.

i had a discussion with a canadian friend recently about the difference between their music and ours. non-mainstream groups like final fantasy and patrick watson sound like they're playing a music you wouldn't hear coming from the us (grizzly bear might be the closest statesider?). their polaris prizewinners don't have any apparent inclination to make something that might break into general pop. unfortunately, i can't articulate music well enough to explain why.

the canadian maintained that canada's music falls short; i disagree. this song is beautiful. the horns.

SANDRO PERRI:FAMILY TREE

i remember liking the broken west some time last year, but collectively not as much as this song (originally done by tegan and sara).

THE BROKEN WEST:BACK IN YOUR HEAD

carly, you really hit a high note with this one
