So you may have noticed that the nation is getting into the Olympic spirit and especially the city of Vancouver. I hope you were able to catch the opening ceremonies which was an exciting display of some great culture, graphics and symbols of Canada. There was a Canadian music connection in the ceremonies, and Im not talking about Nelly Furtado. Shane Koyzcan, the guy who had the long poem about the nation of Canada, can be found on one of Dan Mangans albums. The track Tragic Turn of Events/ Move Pen Move is a great combination of Mangans great song style with the talents of Koyzcans poetry. A moving song from the Roboteering EP which is a definite switch on a great album. Ive posted a live version of the song below.
