A couple of weeks ago I dropped by a club here, called "Scandals" filled with the flannelized, Coors-capped white-trash to hear Swamp Thing in its own "banjo-country-dance-music" set (with Rednex and some others), which had just been preceded by Euro-crap house (TRUE lyric example: "Hey, baby, sit on my face, I like the way your pussy tastes". For some reason the women were whooping it up over this one) and then immediately followed by homegrown-Canadian-guitar-rockers Tragically Hip and 54-40 (Apparently, at their concerts, people are into this neat thing called "slam-dancing" or "moshing" (wot idjits)). So don't tell me to be afraid. 8-) The horror is here, in Manitoba. But at least there is a small, but strong house/techno/idm scene. c-ya chris clarke
