Broken Social Scene - "Sentimental X's" (album: Forgiveness Rock Record)

This won't be last time I post a song by Broken Social Scene. They are, by a very large margin, my favorite band in my Mountie Rock genre. I look forward to seeing them live in Milwaukee Sunday October 3, 2010. It's a long story why I'm not seeing them in Chicago in July.

Rumor has it, the below song was intially written to be an instrumental track. But I think even post rock lovers Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning couldn't resist the opportunity to have a song feature the Mountie Rock Female All-Star team of Emily Haines (of Metric), Amy Millan (of Stars) and Leslie Feist (of, well... Broken Social Scene before she got Apple'd and graduated to a solo career).

I really like how Broken Social Scene specifically mentioned everybody, and the part they played, for each track in the album booklet for Forgiveness Rock Record. For example, here is the dissection of "Sentimental X's:"

Emily Haines - vocals
Amy Millan - vocals
Leslie Feist - vocals
Justin Peroff - drums
Charles Spearin - bass, trumpet
Andrew Whiteman - guitar
Sam Goldberg - electric sitar, electric guitar
Ohad Benchetrit - electric guitar
Kevin Drew - bass synth
Brendan Canning - keys
Evan Cranley - trombone
Leon Kingstone - tenor saxophone
Bryden Baird - trumpet
