If you’d like to submit Canadian news to AbsolutePunk.net, email me at deborah.remus@absolutepunk.net or send me a PM with “Canadian Round-Up” in the subject line. I don't check the news queue often so that's probably the best way if you want to guarantee I'll see it.

Interested in new I Mother Earth, but I don't know if it will be as good without Edwin. I do know the new Cancer Bats will probably be good and you should check out the new John K. Samson if you haven't yet.

Otherwise, people are still crazy for Lights I see. I remember when I started doing this thing and people would get so annoyed if I didn't mention her every week, but that hasn't happened in awhile, haha.

And the Dead and Divine vlogs, some people have messaged me about them. They're finally up after some major technical difficulties.

the last 2 cds they did without edwin were the best imo. do you recall their last album The Quicksilver Meat Dream? Byrne really impressed. check out the song god rocket. classic. also lights suck :P anddd everyone who has any respect in Canadian hip hop check out madchilds latest ep here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lit...ep/id493434121 also, subscribe to daniel victor ( neverending white lights) at http://www.facebook.com/WhiteLights dude is hella cool, not to mention one of the greatest artists to come out of canada, his new cd act 3, is dope.

Rock The Walls Tour with dates is being posted this week happening Late Feb-Early March across Ontario + Montreal! So stoked!

After hearing about the I Mother Earth news, decided to listen to Summertime In The Void... that brought back some memories!

No love for Grimes? Her new album is out tomorrow.

I remember posting about Grimes recently, I know Broden actually posted her news on the front page and he said Visions was coming out on February 21? Did she move it up?

Cool. I'm not going to lie, when I think of IME, all I think of is "One More Astronaut" and "Raspberry" so I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan in the first place. My sister loved the record those songs came from and as I got older, I started recognizing the first one on the mainstream rock station here. I just listened to the two IME songs recommended in this thread and I don't know if I like them as much as those, but that could just be the nostalgia talking. I think I faintly recognize "Summertime in the Void" but I definitely prefer and recognize "One More Astronaut" more.

Ah, it said Jan. 31st on another site in an Oct. 2011 post. Amazon.com says Feb. 21st though, so I'm guessing that's the actual date.

Yeah, according to Broden's news post they decided to move the release date back for whatever reason so you were right to assume it was coming out this week.

I'm kinda excited for the new Patrick Watson I saw him play in Saskatoon in 07 for the junos, have been listening to him since.
