"Still waiting 'til the freezing is over"

I stepped out of the office tonight to head home and the inside of my nostrils instantly froze.
I thought:
"The seemingly endless winter seems like it's never going to end."
I came home to wash a sink full of dishes, my efforts propelled by a trio of absolutely rousing songs on one of my CANADIAN MUSIC PLAYLISTS.
The New Pornographer's "The Laws Have Changed" kicks off the three-song grouping, and that catchy song feels like a gust of wind in sails. The Weakerthan's "Aside" follows, and that's a song that always compels me to dance -- even if only around the kitchen.
Then comes to true classic, in my opinion -- "SMILE" by Saskatoon's wonderful WIDE MOUTH MASON.
"I can't even think, I can't even speak, but I can still smile."
Shaun Vereault (vocals, guitar), Safwan Javed (percussion, vocals) and Earl Pereira (bass, vocals) look like poster boys for Canadian multiculturalism. They sound like a kick-ass rock band, however, which is all that really matters. Coming from SASKATOON, they know much more about cold weather than I ever will. That's fine, too.
I'll take the great music, they can keep the extreme cold weather.
I have honestly had my fill of it down here.
