Apologies to the 3 people who read this blog regularly, I had been having problems logging into my Blog account, but it seems those problems have now been resolved. Without further ado, here are the Killer Tunage Tracks of the Week from the last two weeks.
February 22: I noticed that my last 3 songs of the week had all been imports, and that is not acceptable, since there are so many great Canadian bands out there, so here is the first Canadian band, and certainly not the last, to make it to my song of the week. Malajube is a band based in Montreal, Quebec and despite performing only in French, have made huge inroads in English Canada and even the US. They have had their song featured in two commercials in Canada, and a Radio Shack commercial in the States. (yowza!) This week's song of the week, Montreal -40, was featured in a Rogers Wireless commercial, and is being played this week as a tribute to our recent cold snap, and the Festival du Voyageur. He Ho!

February 15: This band has been on my iPod and in my head for a couple of months now, and thanks to that I now own all six of their albums and four EPs. Spoon started in 1993 in Austin, Texas. They've had their music played on shows like The O.C. and have played on late night shows like Conan O'Brien, David Letterman and Craig Ferguson. Their latest album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, was released in July of 2007 and debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and they've also had a song featured on the Will Ferrel movie Stranger Than Fiction. That song is called The Book I Write, and is this week's Killer tunage track of the week.

Join me this Friday for another Canadian tune, cause they deserve the most play time.
