Wish I had been there ...

Broken Social Scene is a collective of amazing Canadian artists, including Amy Millan of Stars, Emily Haines of Metric and Leslie Feist of herself. Anthems for a seventeen-year-old-girl is an bitchin' song, I think their best. They performed it at Lollapalooza in Chicago last summer. Based on virtually every review I found it was THE HIGHLIGHT of the festival, and an especially rare occurence since all the members are pretty much never available to play together. Well, after nearly a year of searching here it is (apologies because this takes a LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGG time to load even with high-speed Net):

Can't you come back?
