what an epic epic weekend. meg montréal had an incredible lineup, especially for the boat. osheaga had a disturbingly amazing lineup which made this horribly organised festival all the more worth while. so yeah, before i talk about the music, i wanna talk about the osheaga festival. what mainly pissed me off was this whole "green stage" thing...why not have a GREEN FESTIVAL?!?! oooooh, one stage! ONE! raw/vegan/vegetarian green food stand! great way to really show how committed one is to the enviro movement. what is even WORSE is the amount of trash left lying around because we [...]

Sailing To Nowhere - Broken Bells Right now I wish I could be... sailing to nowhere would be the most elegant solution to my situation. A great escape into the wild. My choice isn't too far from this though. Leaving for a few days to the Canadian countryside, relaxing in a roundhouse cabin on the Lac Saint-Jean will make everything better, I know it. Another great thing will be waiting for me when I come back : Osheaga Festival [...]

Hey guys ! Since we are receiving loads of emails and...well... have a life, we are sometimes late on the answers. Sorry for all of those who didn't get any. Now, we have received an email recently about the next shows in Montreal and this week is gonna be pretty awesome. Wednesday, July 21st : Groove Attic and La Strada @ les 3 Minots - 8:30pm Groove Attic is a great funky band from Montreal. Their [...]
DEVO! Just added to the Osheaga lineup. They've been doing one-off shows here and there for the last few years (A main act @ Coachella this weekend) but now they're hitting the touring circuit full time to promote their first album in 20 years (for a June release) of new material. If you go on their website, some dude name Jacob [...]

***Finally I am posting these decade end lists. Gaaah I love and hate lists. They enlighten me towards new music yet at the same time they're ridiculously subjective. From one point to the next an album can be the best and not depending on the season, the weather, my emotions, whether I'm under the influence, yada yada yada. Because of all this, the numbers on my list aren't a ranking system of worst to best-because I think they're all equally fantastic-they're simply a form of organization. But, a few times on the lists I will put a clear marker on [...]

Aşure babında tür karışımları çoğu zaman kabak tadı veren ürünlerle sonuşlansa da, ayarı tutturanlara saygıda kusur eyleyesimiz yok, Post-rock+hip hop kırması Pawa Up First inşaat fakültesi kantinine langırta gelirse acımayız. Pawa up First - Territorio Pawa Up First - In a hurry to nowhere

It's the end of the year! Can you believe it? I swear each year goes by faster and faster. The end of the year is a time consolidating the past memories and preparing yourself for new ones. The year end activity is of course, making new year's resolutions...new ones, improving on old ones, or ditching the whole process in generaaaal. I discovered a pretty cool site for you goal-oriented folks called 43 Things where you share your goals with other people, your progress, and at the same time, you can cheer each other on! The most [...]

SXSW 2007 list. Yes I know it's over. but I just had time downloading the songs to make lists. This one is the nicest so it goes first. It's a late nite list with consistent sound, very sexy, and bunch of post-rock in each section. I would post more info, were it for not having a chance to carefully look at each artists webpage. But at least the list nice. Enjoy. "I. City of Love " 01. Dislike - Alone (Ufa, RUSSIA) 02. Slot - [...]

I asked Montreal resident "BrooklynVegan Mike" if he could give is a quick preview of some of the bands from Montreal that are traveling to Austin for SXSW this year. Here's what he came up with.... Montreal has created an environment of great, imaginative music. We have our own indie music showcase and outdoor music festival, and are the artistic capital of Canada (despite what Toronto might tell you). Faster then you can say poutine, the city has erupted on to the indie stage with a [...]
