Thoughts of travel occupy your mind. Don't let personal problems conflict with work. Luck will happen on a wednesday. Trust your intuition.

Gord Downie And The Country Of Miracles @ Le National

November 8 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


Fame and artistic talent are tricky things to manage. Consider the case of Gord Downie, who has both. He's the lead singer of the Tragically Hip. Maybe you've heard of them. Or maybe you're not from Canada. Gord, however, is no simple Canadian semi-alt-rock megastar. He's also a poet.

Imagine the greatest of ironies: a French rock group from Versailles travels across the ocean to the most populous French city in North America, gets booked at a French-language University by French promotion, and plays their American Grammy-winning album to a sold-out majority-French crowd…in English. Such a paradox might confuse objective observers, but for montrealers, it is the music scene. And it is exactly what took place on October 21st, 2010 at the Complexe Sportif de l'Université de Montréal.

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan @ Cabaret JPR

November 4 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

The other day, I skipped out on the 2nd half of my radio program in order to catch Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell play Cabaret JPR. Driving from CJLO studios to St-Laurent Boulevard took under ten minutes due to some speeding, whirling in and out of lanes and running to the venue from my parking spot. Totally worth it.

Jason Collett @ Il Motore

October 27 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

As always, Jason Collett could be spotted in the shadowy back corner of the bar as soon as I walked in, his eyes fixed on the opening act. Tonight, he and the rest of the small crowd at Il Motore were treated to a quiet, folky set from Daniel Romano, better known as the frontman for Attack in Black and the Daniel part of Daniel, Fred & Julie.
