#CJLOgoesPOP! POP Montreal 2013 - Day 2

CJLO Magazine's editor-at-large Stephanie Dee writes about day two of POP Montreal. Check out the hashtag #cjlogoespop, and follow @Tweegirl on Twitter and Instagram for up-to-the-minute commentary, video, and photos taken during the festival.

I begrudgingly worked all day, day-dreaming about all the art exhibits and artist talks I wanted to attend but couldn't, and when the daily grind was finally over I headed on up to Quarters POP at 5:30 pm for the Media Mixer.

Punk Rock Meets Church Basement

There is nothing more fitting than ending a five-day music festival in a stale and sweaty church basement with ear-crunching punk-rock. Proving that sleep is truly for the weak, the Montreal punk and hardcore crowds stood shoulder to shoulder, jean jacket to jean jacket in anticipation for POP Montreal's final oo-rah at Salle Little Burgundy


Suuns + Radwan Ghazi Moumneh @ Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

Music has two levels of enjoyment. The first is on the personal level, in which one listens to a song alone. The second level involves the gratification of sound in a group, either with a few close friends, or amongst hundreds of strangers. The performance by Suuns with Radwan Ghazi Moumneh took the second level to heights that I have not yet reached.

#cjlogoespop --- Tony Visconti Sez What?

Tony Visconti did a Q&A at the SAT on Saturday and said a bunch of stuff about people*. Here are some pullquotes; it's up to you to figure out who he's talking about!

(*also useful advice derived from a long career in music production and within the recording industry, but w/e)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. "The first thing ______ said to me was 'I thought you were dead.'"

2. "But, he's a nice boy [despite not acknowledging Visconti's producer credit for 25 years]."

The Final Episode of Salvation From Sin On CJLO

a message from the host of Salvation From Sin

The relationship between CJLO & Salvation From Sin is coming to an amicable end, although SFS will continue running elsewhere. The final show #187 will air on Friday October 4, 2013 on Montreal's CJLO 1690 (www.cjlo.com for a LIVE stream). This special closing show will be a marathon, extended version, from the usual starting time at midnight until 8:30am. That's right: 8.5 hours of non-stop mixing. I will provide for you, my faithful listener, an epic mix. Tune in for one last time on CJLO! 


Paloma Dawkins

 

Through the past couple of years, I've had the pleaure of meeting some inspiring creative people that I almost instantly click with. Paloma Dawkins is a bright, positive bouncing ball of a human being. She agreed to speak with me about her current projects and interests.

So, as an artist do you need a particular space to focus in on your ideas and start working?
