Canada really has little to do with america besides continental location. The culture difference between Canada and the USA is easily looked over because of that fact, and the fact we speak the same language. Canadas culture, community, and art are quite a unique medly of European styles mixed with the influence of the land. No doubt that the countries bear similarities, just as every country in the western world does.

Italy has D'Arcangelo brothers on Rephlex records.
...And don't forget Robert Miles.

SPICE GIRLS! UK Hated the Spice Girls!
The Spice Girls did far better over in the US! Their US tours are prolly to blame for their lengthly existance!

eeeeh, and what about germany? it's the place where electronic music was born.
-> stockhausen (very early) -> tangerine dream -> KRAFTWERK
*then* it moved over the ocean to become electro in detroid. ;-)
anyway. there is such a great cultural diversity in this world. and internet may help to discover it.
so i recently discovered some wired music from scandinavia (finland, norway, sweden) which is just great. without the internet, we would just hear, what the industry wants us to hear...
greetz, andreas
btw, nacmat : sure, i know what flamenco music sounds like. :-)

The root of all Evil that is Techno spings from Germany. It can't be pinpointed but Kraftwerk and Enstuzende Naubaten had some thing to do with it!

i love my country but i'm not fond of its mainstream music industries. i'm not xenophobic, so i don't really see the point in any such conflict.

lol. I live in the UK.....its pretty neat. My city has become very cool over a few years. I used to hate where i lives and my country and LOVED the american dream thing but with the dawn of the internet ive learned that both countires have their downside and both really cool things. I love all countries. Recently ive become more interested in places like Sweden. Love to go there:)

I'd have to concede the point that, aside from a few exceptions, pretty much all good music comes outta England. (At least the kind that I like)...Beatles, Pink Floyd, Aphex, BoC, Autechre...etc.
I think the culture and places in England are really cool, I'd love to take a trip there someday.

Well, a lot of great music from all kinds of genres comes from the UK, except the more agressive music like metal. That's where the americans are good at.
And on the other hand, the USA doesn't have that much succesfull electronic artists.

Amercians aren't good at agressive music...Americans majors are good at releasing noise. The only reason music seems good from the UK is because we have had a few good artists who happen to speak the same language as our cousins in the US, hence gaining mass popularity.

American tv is better. One word , Southpark! Other good shows::Twin Peaks ,Simpsons ,Six Feet Under , Thats My Bush , Sopranos , V (hehe!), Futurama, Jackass, Automan (yes) GiJoe , Transfomers.
The best shows that ever came out of UK was Monty Pytons Flying Circuss and the Ali G show imo.
Black Ather (sp?) was cool to. Oh also that show Smack My Poony was funny as hell , it was three very talented girls doing sketches.
But ofcourse im only judging whats been aired here or what foreign channels i have.

British TV is abismal ! It's so totally one-tracked. "Sex sex sex" (Mom have I got a big nose). Every night you have at least 2 or 3 programs which are basically pornography in disguise. They most come under the form of documentaries - Sex in the middle ages, Sex with the ancient greeks, Men who used to women, blah blah ad nauseum...
I have nothing against a bit of porn mind you, but thats what the xxx channels are for !
It's intensly dull. But then again I haven't seen any american TV so maybe it's worse (although I can't see how)...

I come from a place where it's beautiful and sunny and everything is green. Now I'm living in london for a year. It's a little dull looking here but has good music. The drink, weed, cigarettes are waayyy over priced.
Not a big fan of america, don't have a problem with it, a country is a country,I like..uhmm...I hate british drum n bass, it might've have started here, the whole scene is messed up and they play watered down, poppy dnb tracks. It's a shame, I like what some american dnb producers are doin. America 1, UK 0, what the fuck? See..
Stupid topic methinks, but i'll just give my piece of mind. For the hell of it.

I agree with UK drum and bass. Most of it has gone totally shite now. I used to love it back in the day, now it is boring.
