yaletown in vancouver is a really hip little area, it's packed with funky bars & restaurants - with the pacific ocean always within earshot if you listen hard enough - we had a nice evening here in heatwave-esque temperatures (i swear it got to +7C at one stage)
vancouver is awash with political posters on display in people's houses - it seems to be mainly a Liberal or NDP kind of town with the Consevative's posters few & far between - as an outsider it's hard to get too excited - we can't vote & even if we could i haven't a clue who i'd vote for - there is a strong Green party out here & in light of the recent & sadly quite evident news about global warming I'd probably plump for them
at no. 8 in the Top 26 is another Canadian band, Stars are a new band to these ears although i know they've been around a while - i love this Lush type track & the rest of the album is equally strong - if yopu know your music you will know that Canada is at the forefront of a lot that's hip & trendy at the moment - Stars aren't getting as much publicity as compatriots like The Aracade Fire & Broken Social Scene but in my book they are better than these bands & if there is any justice in this world 2006 will deliver a higher profile to this special band
No.8 Stars - Ageless Beauty
