Here's the deal, I'm clearing out about 30 album reviews this month, so I can get a fresh start in 2008. So basically, I'm threatening you with MULTIPLE posts per day. This is my 348th post (my goal is 365 prior to December 31st).

Anyway. What's your favorite Chuck Norris Facts?

Mine's:

Why didn't they find Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq?
Because Chuck Norris lives in Texas.

Canadians - Summer Teenage Girl

Canadians

Massimo Fiorio compiled a bestselling Italian book called I Fermenti lattici dello yogurt di Chuck Norris sono tutti morti (the title suggest something to do with death and yogurt????).

Fiorio is the bassist for Canadians, a strange name for a band consisting of Italians! They're setting out on a long tour starting today (Nov 4th) and looking at their calendar, they're doing SXSW 2008 and MTV Italia.

I'm also very glad to see that the song they've chosen for their single is "Summer Teenage Girl", my favorite song off A Sky With No Stars. They're offering the song as a free download from their official website.

I've read that their debut EP The North Side of Summer (released in late 2005) garnered amazing reviews from traditional magazines and blogs & webzines. I don't think you can buy the EP anymore. I know the initial pressing the bands produced were completely sold out.

Canadians - 15th Of August

1 comment

Then they entered in the Heineken Jammin' Contest in 2006 and was eventually featured as a "Breaking Band" in the NME (resulting in being the first Italian bands to get reviewed in their Breaking Band column).

So obviously the song of choice is "Summer Teenage Girl", but I also wanted to draw your attention to "15th of August" which is another favorite song off the album. It has a great intro to the song that will perk you up. I'm almost going to guess that the song writer probably wrote it on August 15th of this year?

So, the debut album is called A Sky with no Stars and released by Ghost Records. Apparently the single for Summer Teenage Girl is very, very limited. There's only 100 copies produced. You can pick up the single here for €6,50 EUR. That's like $5000 or something.
