CJLO is a community radio station in Montreal. For their fundraising campaign, they made their first compilation of Montreal artists covering Montreal artists. The compilation is called CJLO 1690AM presents "YOU'RE RELATED" Vol. 1 which you can download on Bandcamp . I just have to feature this cover that Adam & The Amethysts ' cover of Bran Van 30002s "Drinkin' In LA". When I saw them play live in Ottawa, they ended off with that song. Does anyone remember that song from the 1990s? Here [...]
Montreal, Quebec has always been at the pinnacle of arts and entertainment in Canada, if not in all of North America. Aside from deliciously artery-clogging amounts of poutine (the secret is in the fries) on every street corner, a hearty smorgasbord of lively bars and pubs, and some of the prettiest people on the planet, the city is inundated throughout the year with various festivals and events. In fact, there are so many festivals in Montreal that it's hard to keep track and even locals may be desensitized as to "what's going on this weekend." It would be [...]
Hello Folks! We are working on our new "fall season" of shows as we speak. Bonjay . K.Flay . 12th Planet . Mother Mother . Delhi 2 Dublin . Braids . Nu Sensae . And many more. Until then, we have some of my favorites to tide you over. Sept 5th: the interview show with Evil Ebenezer (Somehow, this Vancity Hip Hop Hustler always ends up dressed as [...]
Music festivals have come and gone in Canada, but one which seems to have taken hold and established an identity is Montreal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival . Conveniently scheduled right at the end of July, and picturesquely located on its own island by the Saint Lawrence River, it brought fans from across the country and elsewhere up close and personal with nearly 100 bands and DJs. It's not quite as big as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, or Coachella yet, but Osheaga is well on its way to becoming a preferred summer destination. I lost track of the number of times artists [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Jason Merritt, Getty Images Though the ticket read Osheaga , it could just as easily have been called the Eminem Show as a record 38,000 people packed Montreal's Parc Jean-Drapeau July 29 to watch Marshall Bruce Mathers III play only his third show of 2011, a 90-minute greatest hits set punctuated by a tribute to the late, great Nate Dogg .

Rather than beating the summer heat, why not embrace it? Turn up the speakers, open the windows, click play and let the sun shine in with 5 songs to start your summer.
If you were listening to music in the 90s, you will not doubt remember the track "Drinking In LA." It was one of those songs that was everywhere . You may not remember the song is by a group of Montrealers called BranVan 3000 . Back in the 1997, "Drinking In LA" exploded and suddenly a bunch of friends who had been calling the project an "electronic music collective" were suddenly touring the world and poised to become one of those cross-genre supergroups. This tsunami of success continued. BV3 got signed to [...]
Ik vond vorige week ineens een album terug wat ik al jaren in de kast had: Discosis. Bran Van 30002s tweede album, een eclectische mix van gezellige hits, vage rapnummers en andere bijzondere nummers. Het nummer wat voor mij het album maakte was Love Cliché. Een liedje wat zo uit een musical zou kunnen komen, met een catchy paa-pa-pa en een afwisselend duet tussen man en vrouw. Het vertelt het verhaal van een zomerliefde van achttien weken, die het toch niet helemaal bleek te zijn. Maar wel zo'n zomerliefde waar je altijd met plezier aan terug zal denken [...]
Today marks the return of one of my favourite features, THE CLUB (house music) . A weekly dose of your favourite progressive house, deep house, tech house, minimal. . I've been lucky enough to have this feature handed to me as the first two weeks (8 months ago), were just awesome. Check them out and see for yourself how far the scene has come in just under a year. Each week I'll bring you a selection of anything from heavy bangers that make the dance floor jump, to those chilled out deep vibes that just [...]
I had a request for this little Wesley Willis / DJ Shadow classic. Wesley Willis - Dj Shadow Mix Below are a couple old school personal fav's, on the house. Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity Bran Van 3000 - Problems
The organizers had too much music on their plates this year that it could not be contained in merely 2 days, a third day had to be summoned. The 6th edition of this now 3 day festival goes down @ Parc Jean-Drapeau July 29th, 30th and 31st. Last year's lineup was pretty much unbeatable. Expectations were high for this [...]

Being an A/V geek can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. I've been recording vinyl for about six years now. During that time I've gone through three computers and four turntables. Each change has brought me better fidelity and audio quality. But I'd never be one to claim I'm an expert at this shit. I make up most of it as I go, and pretty much do things my own bass-akwards way that involves three different computer programs and a lot of slow, monotonous, manual editing that can take forever. But I'm an anal retentive prick, so [...]
Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in L.A. This irresistible song from UK-rockers Bran Van 30002s 1998 LP GLEE will find it's way into your brain, if you haven't already heard it. Dedicating this to our sun-kissed friends in the City of Angels. Picture me rolling rollcall - Nicholas, Allison, Ethan, Andrew, John, Heather, Carla, Jason, Roger, Anna, Leana, Stephanie & Michael. Can't forget Ricky aka Hercules. Hoping to walk down the Venice boardwalk again soon. You guys are all spoiled. drink the kool aid:
Bran Van 3000 is a great music collective from Montreal, that you may remember from the decade that has now gone. With an epic conglomeration of Montrealers, the group started to make it big as the 1990s came to a close and the 2000s opened. Their album, Glee, was dropped in '98 and since then, three more have been released, including one last year called The Garden. In 2001, this song was released as a single and still makes me smile everytime i listen to it! Bran Van 3000 - Astounded [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases If there's one thing Canadian bands do well, it's 'collectives.' Beginning with Montreal post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor and perfected by groups like Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire , Canadian groups have long applied the country's mixed-salad ethos to the band paradigm. This was also the approach of Montreal's Bran Van 3000 , masterminded by producer James Di Salvio, whoser 1997 album 'Glee' [...]
