Sorry if the comment struck a nerve. I only meant it in the same way that one would not go on say, an underground hip-hop site to get a good take on what Feaster is going to do at the trade deadline.
Also, I don't think anyone is particularly brain-washed if they are in to Nickleback. I just think that they probably do not dig too deep to find the music that they are in to. I don't hate on bands that are popular just because they are popular. I hate on bands for a variety of reasons. If I give a reason for disliking Nickleback, it might come off as more venom, so I will not. I have found that it is actually a pretty rewarding thing to spend a couple hours every now and then looking for new music. Some people have mentioned some really great Canadian bands in the past couple posts that are doing some pretty new and interesting things. These artists are on people's radars all over the world because of it. This kind of thing is why I am totally behind bands like Metric and Tokyo Police Club playing at McMahon last Sunday. They aren't necessarily the best bands in the world, but at least it is something without a ton of sheen to cover up short-comings and it is somewhat fresh and different.
Now, if they could have only got DFA 1979 to reunite a little earlier than later this summer for the HC, then we really woulda had something...
