Not to mention most times people are wondering just what the hell Im listening to and probably have to suffer through multiple headaches listening to the playlists loaded up on my Ipod. But sometimes with help I luck out and find that one band that kicks ass.

Last year thanks to Benny I helped pollute everyone on Pennsylvania’s The Clarks. If you have hung out with me in the last year you’ve probably heard something play from them at the house or in the Climax and if you haven’t do yourself a favour and check these out: Born Too Late, Shimmy Low, Better Off Without You, On Saturday, Cigarette.

Sadly unless I cruise to the Eastern side of the continent I probably have a snowballs chance in hell of seeing the band live.

Regardless that was the band I was (and still am) polluting people with, I know most folks back home stick to ACDC but it’s good to expand horizons. Thanks to some drunk ass calling me at 4 in the morning last night though I’ve found the next big thing to brainwash people with.

Say hello to Joel Plaskett Emergency.

If you’ve been living on the east coast of Canada or been to a Tragically Hip concernt recently then forgive me because you’re probably wondering why it’s taken me so long to hear these guys, well I live a sheltered life so back off.

I’m not going to sit here and blow smoke up your ass telling you why they’re one of my favorite bands, I’ll let the music do the talking.

“Shimmy Low”
“Better Off Without You”
“Born Too Late”
“On Saturday”
“Maybe”
“Cigarette”
“Chasin Girls” – Dont mind the weird Japanamation, this was oddly the first song I listened to.

There is obviously many more really good songs but I cannot find a link for them on youtube, check out TheClarksOnline if you like what you see.  The next step is to tell them to release a song for Rock Band so I can get drunk and rip out the vocals.
