Ah the glorious possibilities of the new year. We are barely 5 seconds into 2010 and already I have gotten my car stuck in snow banks of TWO provinces, eaten my weight in leftovers, and put outrageous expectations on myself for the coming year. So my car is a little worse for wear, I'm a bit fatter, and have I have set myself up for imminent and soul crushing defeat: sounds like the holidays.
But I know it hasn't been all bad, no matter how grim I might like to paint it. A trip to Montreal, 2 human pyramids, 3 fantastically memorable meals, 6 familial outbursts (good and bad), and about 100 rounds of Ping Pong later: this holiday has been an adventure.
Thus, to celebrate the New Year, this week on My Frozen Headphones we're going to listen to some of my top picks from 2009 along with my favourite tunes from the holiday, and take a look at what Canadian bands are promising excitement in 201o. Expect some old favourites and new possibilities with Tegan and Sara, Bela, Two Hours Traffic and more.
While we're on the topic, here are the questions I put to you: why do we make New Year's resolutions and what is the trick to making them stick? Have you ever made a resoloution that you kept? What about one that failed miserably? What are your resolutions this year?
One of my New Year's resoloutions is to keep up this blog and integrate it with the show. Oh, and listen to/share MORE CANADIAN INDIE MUSIC THAN EVER BEFORE. It's in all caps, so you know I'm serious.
Happy New Year everybody, and welcome to a new season of My Frozen Headphones!
