A day late, but better late than never.  I think the set lists are getting better as we move up the ladder.

1.  Protest the Hero

“Sequoia Throne”

If you like your music metallic with a touch of big time screaming, then this song is made for you.  Released in 2008, Protest the Hero cuts loose in all directions.

2. Spirit of the West

“Political”

A great song from 1987, Spirit of the West, and this song in particular, have always been part of personal soundtrack.

3. The Weakerthans

“Civil Twilight”

This Winnipeg band, formed in 1997 released this song, which became an inst-rant classic. Love this song.

4. Daniel Lanois

“The Maker”

Another entry from the great Daniel Lanois.

5. 5440

“Ocean Pearl”

A further entry from 5440.  This piece of Canadian classic rock history still sounds as fresh as it did the first time I heard.  Great song by a great sounding band.
