YWGTTM somehow gelled the first two albums: sort of a Bargainwoody (you're not the only one who can invent new words!) feeling. Plus, let's face it - the guys just got better. Which is a damn good sign, as MANY bands never rise above the level of their first album. I will say this: I like the songs from Wood that I've heard live better than any of the versions on the CD.

It's because America is just a culture, it's a franchise. This is not something you should be jealous of. We as Americans share our culture with the rest of the world. Anything that is large part of our mainstream society, the rest of hte world soon becomes familiar with. And frankly I, as an American, find it rather sad, because there is very little that is just ours. You, as a Canadian, have our culture, but *in addition*, you have Canadian aspects that we will never really know. This all came to light to me last summer when I went to Europe. About 80% of my tour groups was Australian, which made for lots of cross- cultural comparisons. Any song we put on, they knew. Any TV show we mentioned, they'd seen (I recall them all anxiously asking if we knew what had happened between Ross and Rachel yet). Any politican of note, unfortunately, they knew the saga on. Yet when *they* would put on a certain tape, the entire Australian contingent of the bus would start singing along, and saying stuff like "wow, I haven't heard this is *forever*!" They would mention a TV personality, or a controversial politician or an important political issue, and we would all be clueless. Because that was their society, their culture, and not ours. Many artists aim for the US as a market because its a portal to the rest of the world. We offer that, but in exchange we've largely sacrificed a culture of our own. In other words, yes, we'll get the CD first, but it didn't come without a price... ~jen - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Nobody likes you when you're 23." --Blink 182 "Do you know that you are very strong?"-- Grover "Measure your life in love."-- Rent Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

You, as a >Canadian, have our culture, but *in addition*, you have Canadian >aspects that we will never really know. I agree with you Jen, and I also think that it's sad that people from other cultures/countries know so much about the US in other aspects as well. For example on the live album, Jian just starts *rhyming* the states. I couldn't even name most of the Canadian provinces, let alone *rhyme* them. Perhaps it's just my ignorance and their brilliance clashing, but I think it's deeper than that. Details about other countries just aren't taught or valued in our society, and it's upsetting. I should know simple things like the Canadian provinces, but no one has ever bothered to teach it to me, and I have never bothered to learn. That's just one example, but it's something that my friend Becky and I talk about all the time.

When I was a kid, being Canadian, celebrating Canada Day, all of that was no big deal. Now everywhere you look are sweatshirts with "Canada" and flags and stuff on them, and businesses competing over who is most Canadian (like "Zellers... your truly Canadian store" etc.) And I think that's cool, because like you siad, the US is such a dominating force, and being so close it's hard to keep somewhat separate. So we tend to get a little (overly?) defensive about stuff... But someone (Eitin, I think?) said: "but no one has ever bothered to teach it to me" in regards to the Canadian provinces. Well... consider me bothering.
