Twee Kitten review of I Tried A Thousand Times, A Thousand Times To Change Your Mind
by Keith Mclachlan
All of these Canadian bands on a German compilation eh? I think I've said it before but I used to be Canadian, up until I was 19 actually and I think this affords me some sort of exclusive insight into the thing we, in the know, like to label the 'canadian psyche'. The sort of complex which allows them to accept things, with dignity, like the injustice of having to register in hospital under their family pet's name in order to get a CT Scan sometime while they are still alive which i guess might be described as fiercely passive and yet at the same time not take great pride in the fact that their prime minister hid behind his wife as some deranged looney (ha! pun) ran through his hallways. It seems then that you can't get a Canadian upset about anything. Well, yes you can, you can say they are just Americans with poor television and then they have their hackles barbed and pricked enough to make them almost consider demanding a government commission to discuss this matter more thouroughly. Speaking of Pets, as I was, they are on this cd and actually represent the nation quite proudly but Salteens and Novillero must still be bitter about the Rita Macneil show being cancelled cause their songs are wretched and they keep the crap to goodness quotient karmically balanced in favor of the good ole' USA. Oh and those are the only 3 Canadian bands but seeing as how you can count the number of great bands from Canada on one hand and have four fingers left it seems that is all too excessive. Which is the one? Triumph? Glass Tiger? Jeff Healey? I won't say. The rest of the CD has some numbers from international acts and some have some clever names which try to make up for less clever tunes like Little Band What Now who promise to make a lovely song for the first two minutes of intro but never find the time to deliver the goods. There is a Tompaulin song and they are the new Belle and Sebastian for good reason cause their song is memorably precious. The rest sorta slides by unimpressively. Firestation Tower might be wise to stick to reissues because their contemporary tastes run a little too limp dish rag.
