I’m 35 Canadian but I immigrated to Canada in 2000 from India. But I had this album when it came out and loved it before I even knew we were going to move to Canada. It remains one of my all time favs and is a proud Canadian icon for me. 

Yep, I had that too, but wanted the album to be really good because of that “Too Hot” garbage, and getting past the manufactured pop nonsense. And, of course, finding out years later that she was being abused during her teeny-bopper pop career just made it impossible to laugh at her.  I now look back at that old video…

I’ve been looking for the Canucks who could share the truth about how it’s Always Too Hot, yet Never Too Cold when Alanis is around.

Potlucks are a real crap shoot. I know people who refuse to attend them because of issues with food. Thankfully I’ve got an iron stomach so weird sweaty hours-old cheese product? Happily eat it.

I saw a picture of PJ in a pink catsuit in the pages of Spin magazine. I had no idea who she was, she just looked really cool and badass. So I bought To Bring You My Love and that was it for me, I fell in love. Never heard anything like it before.  Kind of makes me wish I could go back and listen to it for the first…

You leave Trent out of this. The Downward Spiral is still amazing - you’re pretty spot on on the others though.

As a straight man married to a woman I can say I’ve always done half of the chores that I consider worthwhile. There’s a big gap in what my wife considers important and frequency vs me. She likes a completely clean house occasionally, I am big on the 80-20 rule. The compromise has been paying someone to clean our…

ok but what if it explodes. I’ve had one for like 3 years I have yet to use for irrational fear of turning it into a bomb

New listeners aside, I feel like the ebbs and flows of the nostalgia wave ensures that any band with two or more hits will be around, on and off, for as long as they can scrap together at least 40%-60% of the original membership for a tour.

Like Eve 6 is still around. I’ve never met a diehard Eve 6 fan. They’re never…

Ten came out in 1991... But Pearl Jam was a weird inclusion on this list to begin with.

eh. pablo honey came out way back in ‘93. 

Not at all. In my limited experience, people like him are usually surrounded by handlers and people who are designed to defuse situations. Someone who, after Harvey storms out of the room, goes up to you says, “Look, I know it was unacceptable what Harvey did to you right now, but don’t let his behavior sink this…

I wish we had campaigns like this 20 years ago when I had my son. I was a young mom who was ashamed of my body and its stretch marks. I hid in matronly bathing suits and bermuda shorts no matter how thin I was because I thought no one wanted to see my mom body. I have more body confidence at 40 than I ever had at 25.…

While I understand your point and agree that a deeper systemic change is needed rather than ‘normalising, brutally honest’ photos to advertise nappies or whatever, I am not ashamed to say that I saw these photos today and felt validated. I’m two years past ‘post-birth’ and as someone who was slim prior to my baby, it…

I don ‘t know what to suggest or do.  But I do have two family members who basically … avoided swimming, avoided anything their body would be seen, and had serious intimacy problems with their partners post baby because they could never feel comfortable with heavy stretch marks/loose skin.  I find those things are…

this is Butterz

Yeah, I’m on the oldest end of the millenial scale, and this kind of baffled me. I love this movie, but some millenials were barely even born when this came out. It’s really a Gen X movie

Ahem.

I love your recaps, except for hard cringes when you use the word “pivot.” PTSD from my corporate job. 

On the Muppet show her name was Camilla.
