Neil Young has some indie in him somewhere, right?
Besides that, The Smalls are pretty damn good, and Crystal Castles are great, not only an electronic group i can really stand but a good one at that.

Described as you describe it, I can see more of the sadness in the song. For example, it wasn't clear to me if the man was entirely alone. Also, it wasn't clear to me how many of his memories he had lost, so when I heard the song I was thinking, "Hey! He still knows who his son is! He remembers he had a dog! He isn't screaming in pain, at 9/10 on the pain scale!" I was comparing his end of life with the situations I've known that are even worse. I agree with you about the sadness of Alzheimer's. In fact, just yesterday I was talking with a young man who said he worked at an Alzheimer's unit but only stayed for two weeks because it was so depressing. The reason is that so many of the people, as they lost their memories and sense of reality, experienced terror and horrible sadness, he said. It was hard for the young man to cope. I'm sorry about your grandmother's dying, and I'm thinking how fortunate she was to have you. When you write, "While life may have been wonderful and great, you can't remember that," I relate very much, because I have seen my father going through this. When you are ill and in pain, the happy times you once experienced evaporate (even if they can be remembered). It is as if they never happened. I wrote a song for my dad and gave him the lyrics months ago that include these lines, because I wanted him to know I see and understand his situation: "You call emergency. Your capsized quality of life is sinking, your options shrinking as memories and pleasures cease to release you and bring relief from your present descent. [...] You struggle in the waves. Now all that I can say if I'm sorry you have to live through this. I'm sorry we're both helpless this Mayday when no worship will save you and no spring will renew health and youth as you're drowning." I'll listen to more of Dan Mangan (I do like robots!  ). Thank you again for taking the time to describe your connection to his song "Basket."

I was under the impression Burning Down was Canadas finest?

 To me FLA is a stripped down version of Skinny Puppy, whereas Delerium's almost pop music (love their early albums though).
