Aboot once a year, for a few weeks, the radio industry tries to get the rules relaxed so they can play more American music but I don't see the content rules changing anytime soon. Last summer we finally started getting Satellite Radio but the providers had to set aside a certain amount of channels for CanCon (that's what we call it). Canadian artists are free to go off and make albums with whatever nationality they want. They can have a Scottish producer, an American manager or an Irish label. But if they want the Canadian government to kick in a few bucks... I think it's at least three of the four pie slices have to be Canadian. So, if it was Bryan -- and I'm pretty sure it was -- he didn't fill out enough slices. A Canadian sound... try the first video I posted. I put it first exactly because I think Celtic Punk like Ashley plays is aboot as pure Canadian a sound as you can get. If you want to talk aboot influences, then Canada started Grunge (Neil Young, Sons of Freedon)... a Canadian also invented the 'Electronic Synthesizer" so we could, in a court of law, be responsible for Disco. The video at the top of this post by "Le Volume Etait Au Maximum" is also pretty uniquely Canadian.
