Joel Plaskett - Love This Town

[58586stefan]

CBC radio 2!!!!!

[Kingswat]

4 people are from Kelowna.

[shoegal604]

@Kingswat ah, ha, ha, ha...LMFAO!

[smithjj789]

DARTMOUTH_HALI !!!

[Lonewolfff36]

The reason I love this song is because I live in Kelowna and agree with Joel

[linlindsey07]

i love how this song is about where i live. <3



[whosyermama82]

there's a reason that I love this song :)

[bjsage]

For the record. Kelowna does suck LOL. I live a little ways away, and I dread having to go there for anything. You aren't alone Joel.

[koolkat104]

SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY ON GUITAR!!!!

[mredickey]

Is there a way you Can put this on a Microsoft PowerPiont?

[whatstillremains]

joel tonight in hali!

[h3rBlackW1ngs]

...walked home from the Marquee more than once. this song brings back the good times!

[langstu]

geez joel why hate on kelowna?

[EBbarri]

Maybe you have to be from here, maybe you don't. There is a lot of HRM in this and all the tunes from Joel but all from the heart and great music. THX

[morryp]

Dang. I live in Kelowna. I swear we've changed. Come back to us!

[bluenoserr]

@morryp If it's any consolation, the Barenaked Ladies wrote a hateful song about Halifax on their first full-length album (Hello City). At least Joel didn't voice a wish for Kelowna to slide into the ocean. I know guys who would still like to punch-out Steven Page or Ed whateverhisnaemis for that nasty piece of work.

[Gubby007]

...but you'll hold a grudge anyway,,, Because it's fun... Hahaha :D

[bluenoserr]

Just moved back to Haltown. Life is good!

[jmacgirl1]

Can't wait to see him at Alderney Landing on Canada day!

[colecampbell666]

@jmacgirl1 Game day, it's gonna be a time!

[bjsage]

I live near Kelowna and I hate it too lol. When I first heard this song i laughed my ass off. Dont blame him for hating that place.

[blackbeltkid987]

Listening to this in Fairview!!

love halifax!!

[cresshipfan]

Say Joel open for The Hip 3 times... he's awesome and a great artist... a great East Coast Canadian Artist....

[Vampirelover159]

Saw him in Concertt, Amazing!!! I am a Halifax girl, No matter where I live.. I will always miss the rain, The people and the smell of downtown. :)

[CareFraser]

Absolutely Amazing song, if only i could preform with him

[Daddy0and0mE]

There's a reason y i love MY town....and its joel plaskett..tHE PRIDE OF nOVA sCOTIA

[Gubby007]

@Daddy0and0mE...Nah dude. Alexander Keith's is the pride of Nova Scotia!

[bluenoserr]

@Gubby007 Keiths WAS the pride of Nova Scotia. No longer.

In the late 70s, Oland was bought-out by Labbatt, and ever since then they have been watering-down the recipe and cranking up the marketing. Keith's no longer tastes anything at all what it used to, as the Labbatt suits wanted to go head-to-head with other national brands. Today, Oland Export tastes like Keiths did in the early 90s (for now).

There is a reason why Haligonians have been abandoning Keiths for Propeller or Garrison!

[KootenayWest]

He's very good!

[dartmissian]

I beleive there is a nice little dig in there aimed at Sloan during the first bridge...the part about holding a grudge....

[UltimateLPs]

Look as us. Who cant love it here?

Greetings From Lower Sackville!

[angustus5]

epic

[dangertreachery]

[DiscoGabe]

Joel Plaskett <3

[TheBeatles193]

[aurorafrap]

You Love This Town? I love this freakin' song. Thanks to CBC radio 2 for being CBC radio 2 and playin' it.

[andrewwinsor11]

JOEL PLASKETT IS GOD!

[ramblinpaul]

He doesn't hate Kelowna,  it's just he's played there......

[chacha1103]

and hates it.

Or really dislikes it, whenever he plays this song he says that he has reconciled with the town but doesnt want to go back.

[cherryberry360]

He hates Kelowna?? :(

[angustus5]

sweet tune

[thetoddbertuzzi]

kelowna is filled of stuck up snobs

[Beatles64]

saw him in Halifax, Nova Scotia !! AWESOME he is !!!

[SamRage955]

Saw him tonight in Springhill Nova scotia, Opened with er, Sick Set, He played with bill, sounded phenomenal

[theonetruepickle]

I was at that show in Kelowna. First time I heard Joel, and yes the audience was lame. Lame and fucking stuck up clowns, I still live here, the crowd wanted the Hip so much they could not see the talent. Same thing at the first Road Side Attraction, Midnight Oil was playing, The Fuckin' oils man, And the crowd wanted the Hip so bad fights started to break out. Stupid People... Joel Rocks!

[CheeseBeansDinasaurs]

he played this at the opening for paul mccartney it was bomb !

[Runescapejerk]

saw him like three days ago in uptown saint john he puts on a good show

[DeathBySitar]

saw him last summer at a folk festival and really enjoyed him.

him, as well as a few other acts, restores my faith in quality Canadian music

[00bubblegumm00]

I live in kelowna...and im going to his show tomorrow haha

[barnanners]

[chrissept21]

[alixdanielle]

[dunnjake888]

mitch macdonald did a really good job with this song

[mickeycomeau122]

[dunnjake888]

theo really deserved to win though.. i really wanted mitch to win but he'l probably still get a record deal!

[dunnjake888]

theo really deserved to win though.. i really wanted mitch to win but he'l probably still get a record deal!

[lavafrenzy]

this is the first time i heard this song and its awesome! i happen to know mitch from canadian idol. hes my neighbour's nephew and hes such a laid back person- hes a great. i hope that he will make be the next canadian idol- he definiteley deserves to win. go mitch!

[xetera999]

amazing.

and mitch did a great job with this song.

but like you all said he is no joel plaskett.

[GalacticINC]

I think this song sounds better live.

Joel is such an awesome live musician.

[contrarymary77]

I think Joel always sounds great.

[bluenoserr]

@GalacticINC It's cuz Joel's banter always makes this song unique every single time. :)

[Green1865]

Costumer, you are crazy. Joel is an AMAZING singer. I wish Mitch the best... but... he is no Joel Plaskett.

[hunka007]

Green1865... I agree with you, that Joel is an amazing singer and unfortunately, there hasn't been anyone to do a better job with this song.......

[thecostumer]

you know what? This guy can't sing. Mitch did this song amazingly. Like actually...

[bobba765]

you know what this guy can sing fuck mitch and all this gay old karokee.And costumer something is wrong with your fucking brain.

[bobba765]

oh wait your gay so there's another condition for that.

[thecostumer]

What does that have to do with anything, I wonder?

[carpediem010]

I seen Joel Plaskett a few years back do this song. and hes pretty much amazing! I seen Mitch's version of it on Idol tonight, and i think he did a good job putting his own swing on it.

[GalacticINC]

mitch absolutely KILLED this tonight.

if he gets kicked I'll be PISSED!

[dawnclark84]

oh i love this song now... i just seen it on canadian idol.. mitch did a good job... jake was right.. it is probably going to get alot of downloads now.

[Kidnapthekid]

[lody333]
