AD Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Jim Guthrie is one of the most underappreciated songsmiths in Canada.Shitty that he gets recognised only after doing a jingle for an American corporation, and not after his (at least) 3 excellent solo albums and his work with Royal City. He's now working with Islands and the Hidden Cameras.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 ouch. I have to say it again, ouch. I love the thing at the end with "The best 60% of your income". My dad pays over 50% of his income which I think is a crock of shit since public services seem to be dwindling.Funny video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Being a guelphite, jim is part of the cultural milieu. It interests me that he set out to make a commercial tune with that song, not that he had an existing tune that got picked up by a copywriter. That was a full on blatant attempt to make some coin, it started as a 30 second clip and only later did he turn it into a full tune out of the interest surrounding it.
