I like to keep a mystery

Vancouver has got to cool down and with the fresh music scene that comes out of that place I don’t think it’ll be hard to. Said The Whale has been getting me through work ( 3 more weeks and i’m DONE). I’ve been listening to their EP on CBC radio 3 and their song Camilo (The Magician) has basicly been on repeat since the moment I heard it.
Ya, I’m one of those repeat-a-song-continually kind of person.
I actually heard about Radio, Radio on Canada day because they were part of this concert series part of the whole downtown celebration experience. Anyways, i have never laughed so much at a concert. Their mixture of English and French in their lyrics were so hilarious. I could barely understand what they were saying with their thick Acadian accent. It was a great time.
I’m pretty sure that if I was a rapper I’d rap in both French and English though. Just to give an example on why I was laughing, in one of their songs they rapped about sun dried tomatoes…but I can’t seem to find that specific song so here’s Jacuzzi instead.
