Information/Write-up
One of the greatest Nash the Slash albums - 'And You Thought You Were Normal' was Nash the Slash’s second full-length and at the time blew away expectations of what a sophomore album could bring. With the radio hit Dance After Curfew and the incredible Vincent’s Crows alone, Nash cemented his cult status as an 80s new-wave legend. It is hard to imagine in hindsight that it would be his last original full-length for nearly a decade.
I Am Canadian
I live near wilderness.
I know how to survive this wilderness without a gun.
The only diffence between me and others is attitude of survival.
I can survive in this wilderness.
There are wild creatures and benign apparitions all around me.
I can survive in this world without understanding it,
If only other people can help explain it.
There are other people in this world.
We are all racist.
We are all paranoid.
We are all related.
I like Tom Green.
I am Canadian.
-Nash the Slash
