Weird Canada's Guest Pick on Pitchfork's Blog Collective, Altered Zones
One year ago Cecil Frena and I nearly died in a terrifying car accident. Moments before the time disintegration during the flip over we dissected at length how anyone could ever (quote unquote) make it in the world of music. The answer was murky then but now seems monumentally clear: do right. Don't just make good music but make great music. Just good enough is not good enough. Don't just perform your songs, die for them. Anything worth living for is worth dying for. These guys are living out a dream on the road, adventuring from city to city but don't be fooled, this is no game, they're on the frontline every single night wearing their hearts on their sleeve. They are making it by making it. Die for your passions. Irony and apathy are over. We have new sincerity. Believers know it already -every second of a Gobble Gobble show is a reminder of how you felt on the best day of your life.

The Big Sandwich is electronics, straight-up. No question Markus Vuorensola can easily out-name you both 20 n0-wave live bootlegs and flying lotus beat tapes but dude knows blips and bloops to boot. no skronk electro here. Real, please.
CJSR superstar Aaron Levin's Weird Canada is the home of n0/new-school:freakbeat/psych/kooky.

Lyle also plays in tons of awesome Edmonton bands including Shout Out Out Out Out and Whitey Houston.
Jeff does fantastic sketches of bicycles and tshirt designs for Pop Echo Records.
Kristin makes anarchist trading cards.
Cool.
Same goes for Bryan Kulba and Kobot Industries. Actually if he fronted a punk band it'd still be called Bayonets!!!
When it comes to hustle though, no one can touch Given Collective aka Kevin Boothe. This kid has game on lock. Basically his older self must have built a time machine to transport work back to younghim, cause no other explanation will do. Check out Kevin's Document Magazine. so trill.
Armies of musicians especially owe each of them a debt of gratitude for all the incredible poster and album artwork they've done.
They're also responsible for your summer looking like this:
