An anonymous poster suggested "I Have Seen the Future" by Kris Demeanor, saying "It expresses something primal about the city. It's ugly, and that's a good thing." This is great pick, and timely with spectres of racism rearing their ugly heads in the federal election.
Booking guru Greg Curtis decided to go all out - which makes sense, considering how long he's been putting on shows in this city. He left a list lengthy list, noting, "I could do this for days...":
Primrods - Bully-Proof Vest
Gravity Thugs - Take You Down
Tinderbox - Bucket of Frogs
Samantha Savage Smith - The Score
Jane Hawley - Going Out of Style
Dragon Fli Empire - Mt. Pleasant
Tariq - Chevrolet Way
Same Difference - Kiss of Ice
Dudes - Dropkick Queen of the Weekend
Chad VanGaalen - Clinically Dead
Tegan and Sara - Walking With the Ghost
Reuben and the Dark - Like a Rolling Stone
Michael Bernard Fitzgerald - Brand New Spaces
Chad VanGaalen has such a huge and impressive body of work (already!) that it's going to tricky to pick just one song of his, as well. Why not "Gubbish"? Anyways, clearly we should have reached out to Greg earlier on in this project.
Anyways, thanks for all of your participation so far. We'll keep on keeping on for another two weeks, so there's lots of time to dust off your old CDs and let us know what you think we should include in the Calgary Songs Project!
