VA - Canadian Relics EP (1995)

This 7" was a cool concept, some Vancouver bands covering obscure Canadian bands and TV theme songs. Nardwuar's band The Evaporators kicks things off with a rendition of Arson's "Coho? Coho!", The Tonics do a great version of The Littlest Hobo and July Fourth Toliet do the theme to CTV kid's show, "Let's Go". On the B-Side, The Sister Lovers tackle Goddo and the last one is an Ian & Sylvia song performed by the Insignificant Specks featuring Carl Newman (of Superconductor, Zumpano and New Pornographers fame) on vocals. Too bad they didn't do a volume 2.

THE EVAPORATORS - Coho? Coho!
THE TONICS - The Littlest Hobo
JULY FOURTH TOILET - Let's Go
SISTER LOVERS - Sweet Thing
INSIGNIFICANT SPECKS - So Much For Dreaming
