I Wish the Year 2000 Were Still the Future

"Sound of silver, talk to me
Makes you want to feel like a teenager
Then you remember the feelings of
A real-life emotional teenager
Then you think again"
--LCD Soundsystem, "Sound of Silver," 2007

You ever have one of those moments of hopeless modern ennui when you wonder what the hell you were so moody about when you were a kid? I get that way whenever I read the news.

Well, WTF were we so moody about in the '90s? It was a killer decade. Is it too soon for nostalgia? For Chrissake, all I want is a Shady Lane.

And... Little Brother vs. the Atari 2600

Finally, let's bring in the weekend with the best Canadian rap track I've heard... ever. "Fourth Biggest City" by that kid Famous. It's got a fantastic 1994-style vibe. It's the Goodfellas of Canadian rap videos. Worth repeated viewings.

Represent Toronto, Famous! Represent!

I hear you. If you look back over the past 8 years it definitely feels like we, as a country, have not moved forward.
