These are some fine atmospheric tracks, and I agree the films are beautiful. Thank you for posting this!

Fair enough - this is actually part of why I asked this question, tbh. Most of what I find about this phenomenon when searching has this paranormal stuff circling around it, and while I can see how someone would make that leap if totally bewildered, I just can't take those as serious explanations (though I'm willing to listen, I just wouldn't accept that as the probable root cause).

98% sure all actual cases can be (crudely) explained by "your brain did weird shit/you did or took stuff that made your brain do weird shit". It's just such an odd experience, I wanted to hear other people talking about theirs if they had one too.

Edit: Actually, I have an analogy (had an example but lost the link). There's a streetview image near some intersection in Palm Springs, California that shows a weird sphere of bright, colorful lights, instead of the actual street. Someone could, conceivably, jump to 'OMG, this could totally be some rip in space-time, or a portal to another dimension or something!' Meanwhile, the more likely and rational explanation is something glitched out with the camera or software used to create the image, and you (I) don't know enough about the tech involved to say exactly what. But it's so weird looking, it's easy for someone's imagination to take them to a very interesting, but totally unfounded, explanation.

I mean, I've experienced it. It doesn't mean that something supernatural is involved, that much I agree with.

Fair enough - considered it before but particularly with songs, I'm worried about missing context/mistranslations, particularly where figurative language or wordplay is involved. That and I try to avoid stuff like ChatGPT (though I'd be a little more OK with translation by a self-hosted LLM), but that's just a me thing.

Oh shit, thank you for sharing this one! I had actually heard it before, loved it, but had totally forgotten about it. Another banger, even if I have no clue what the lyrics mean.

Will need to check out Les Goules.

I'd say he has a decent fan base, though overall not my cup of tea. But Matthew Good is absolutely someone who does not shy away from activism, from what I've gathered.

Aww! Thank you!

I just got to see them recently after missing their shows in town for years. You're not wrong :)

You're probably right, but I kinda wanted to shake the tree a little bit at first, lol. There's a lot of great music being made in Canada, so I'm happy to share what I like and hopefully encourage folks to do the same!

So obviously I've opted for haphazardly posting songs, but I think themed day/week megathreads would be dope.

Random ideas:
New Music Monday - releases/bands from the current year/month/whatever cut off makes sense.
Provincial showcase - highlight music of various genres coming out of one specific province or territory.
Throwback Thursday - Canadian oldies, including old unknown or underappreciated gems [citizenfreak.com is a good place to dig into this if actively searching]

Might add more as I think of them.

I don't care that I'm responding 3 months later, fuckin' DO IT. He tours pretty frequently, and I don't care how many times I've seen his act, it's a great time every time.

The very same!

Very cool visuals, but I thought it was a good anime to watch stoned, and obviously for me it isn't. I had absolutely no clue what was going on.

Need to sit down and give it another go.
