September 15, 2010: Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet - They Don't Call Them Chihuahuas Anymore

Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet - They Don't Call Them Chihuahuas Anymore: youtube.com/watch?v=C8DDiIwaK4w

I just suddenly remembered this song. Not much to say about this except that it's such a great band name and song title and I don't hear enough instrumental surf-punk.

And I saw this video on Muchmusic. I know I've gone on a rant before as to the downfall of that once great station, so I'll save you from that. It is funny, though, how this song came out at a time when "Canadian music" had to involve place names and "Canadian" references in order to be considered valid (or, so I perceive it). We were in the landscape stages of Canadian music and this song came out and got played nationally, along with several other strange anomalous songs (Barnes and Barnes' "Fish Heads", for example).

I think I was born in the wrong time.
