Do you wear headphones? Do you like skeletons?

How about dancing Canadian skeletons? Avec les sous-titres et sonnaille.
Introducing mounties, a new Canadian supergroup formed by Hawksley Workman with Hot Hot Heat frontman Steve Bays and Limblifter/Age of Electric member Ryan Dahle.
It's rather catchy and an early contender for my song of the summer.

When I first saw "dancing Canadian skeletons" I thought of the video for No One Does It Like You, although I guess those are more like dancing ghosts and terroristas or whatever. But they are Canadian by virtue of being the products of Marcel Dzama's imagination.

Oh man, Hawksley Workman! There was a year in college where I would. not. stop. listening to Striptease. The Delicious Wolves was a fantastic album. Thanks for the heads-up, the new song is pretty great.

Aw yeah, Hawksley's the best.
Smoke Baby was my college favorite.

I've been hearing this song on the radio. I had no idea who was behind it. I dig it. And, as long as Hawksley is as delightfully weird when performing with this group as he is when he's doing his solo thing, I will absolutely pay to see them in concert.

I don't wear headphones, but I use them on occasion, for listening to recordings. They're a device for the reproduction of sound, not a fashion accessory.

Strange to hear Hawskley singing in someone else's band. I like it though.

Goofyy, I wore my Walkman and headphones constantly from ~'83 until maybe '92. I got to choose my own soundtrack without forcing it on anyone else and it was a great excuse not to listen or talk to anyone.
Tinnitus, what's that?

And I was right, kinda, clearly someone tried to teach someone in this band French with this particular set of vaguely surreal short films.
