Better Off Alone, Pt. 1
Original Air Date: July 28, 2010

Let It Go by Magneto
This was supposed to be replaced with an alternate song, but that alternate ending up not being synchable, so we stuck with this one. It was one of those placements that didn’t feel right until the very last time we watched it. That nostalgic feeling goes great with football, yes?

The Good Times by Royalchord
We had to be careful with this one, because whatever we did with it, it was sure to be too “on-the-nose”. The song is very simple, “where did the good times go?” and Clare’s parents’ divorce seemed like a good place for that question. Royalchord had this song featured on iTunes Canada the week of the episode’s airing.

U Suck by Just Kait
I wasn’t sold on this spot, simply because it’s such a short spot – but then everyone started tremendously digging it. After all, it’s a really, cute fun spot. Just Kait has some great teenage pop-rock tunes – check her out if you’re filled with teen revolt.

The Good Life by Amber Pacific
Oh, young love. And poor Dave. It’s a good life for a little while, until he finds out Alli isn’t digging him – at all. In the meantime, we needed some fun, familiar rock to get us into Alli’s party (before it gets too hot!).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take You Down by Shy Talkers
Dave can’t win for trying, and does he ever try. The Shy Talkers deliver another bass-heavy track, leading on what they know about the kids in that room – someone is going down! Alli had a plan, and it’s working nicely, so goodbye Drew – she’s taking you down.

Public School by Soft Copy
Andrew McAllister and some of the Soft Copy brood are professors at OCAD. Is professor the right term? Teacher or instructor? In any case, these are smart guys and the link between mathematics, logic and music and art never ceases to amaze me. I look forward to their next logical release.
