2002/12/11 --- iqaluit, NUNAVUT

inspired by george metadata's It Could Happen to You mix of blue rodeo tracks, i've decided to post the one that i made up at the end of 2002. like george's, mine doesn't include their more recent albums, but i thought that it was interesting that we only shared 4 tracks from the 7 albums that we picked from.

like many others, i got hooked on blue rodeo thanks to the single 'try'. however, unlike many others, it was the B-side 'piranha pool' that got me to buy their debut album and all the other ones since.

i've seen them in concert outdoors under sunshine behind the bessborough and in the centennial hall basement in saskatoon, at trees in dallas' deep ellum district, at centennial hall in london, ontario, at the venerable horseshoe tavern in toronto and in the rain with great big sea at the guelph music festival. unfortunately, i haven't been able to see them since i moved to the arctic, and they won't be coming to iqaluit anytime soon due to a run-in with the local constabulary over certain herbs in certain person's possession during their last tour thru town. *sigh*

so this mix is made up of songs that i never get tired of singing along to. none of the karaoke catalogues seem to include blue rodeo tracks, so i can't show off in public (thankfully for your ears).

Nice collection. These guys have been one of my favorite band for almost 20 years now and I've seen them live too many times to count. Living on the border has exposed us in Buffalo to many great Canadian bands that don't get a lot of exposure south of the border. I could easily do a second volume of favorites from this band and be different yet again.

I've only seen them in Pittsburgh but a great band live and what I have on disc I really enjoy.
