Well, the team is really well begun with the Osheaga blogging while I’m here in the “office” because in a fit of generosity and over-workedness I passed on all our Indyish press passes to our crew of writers. Brilliant moves Dickens, you love the Pumpkins! Heh heh. Ok. I’m ok actually and Marilis, Tessa and […]

Sun sets and suddenly we’re at summer camp. The bathrooms are full of girls fixing their hair and people juggle beers as they migrate from stage to stage. I feel like exploring the woods with a flashlight, but I wonder if the trees are just a facade that ends after the requisite 5 or 6. […]

Here’s a little recap of the rest of the rest of my night if you’re not sick of hearing of me yet:
Tonny Ezzy had me at the brown suit and handlebar mustache. I don’t know what a handlebar mustache is but that’s what I imagine it to be and it’s probably the coolest kind. Of […]

I ran into a dear old friend, Claire Danby, who treated herself to Osheaga after a hellish summer of studying for medical board exams and working 14-hour rotations in OB/GYN. She also has a talent for photography and the photos in this post are all hers.
It was tempting to just shuffle back and forth […]

There’s a sign to my right that says ”Massage” with an arrow. I’m intrigued. My limbs are in quite a bit of pain but enough complaining, more bloggin’! I can’t really upload the photos I got right now because Alanah’s disapeared with the camera wire, but I will do it soon soon! I walked out […]

Just saw Feist perform on the Osheaga mainstage. She’s clearly quite talented and comfortable on stage. She has a beautiful curly, reverby voice; say the word ‘hawlr’ in a baby voice while breathing in and you sort of sound like her. Her songs are essentially mom-friendly radio music, like if Stevie Nicks listened to more […]

Open air fests, you can either love them or hate them. I’m pretty happy right now, the sun is setting and it’s a lot less warm then it’s been all day. I’ve just been going from stage to stage, Blonde Redhead to Patrick Watson. I’d seen Blonde Redhead once before at Club Soda and as […]

Patrick Watson is wonderful. His voice is well-trained and evocative and while I find his music somewhat ordinary, the addition of electronic elements and a complete sincerity in the delivery of it all turn him and his band into a really amazing musical experience. Piano helps. Talent too.
I only saw the end of his […]

Ok, I’m gonna warn you, I hate festivals. Here I am blogging Osheaga, and I hate festivals.
I’m really trying to not be jaded. I like the outdoors. I like music. I like people enjoying themselves. Seriously. I can like Osheaga. I can certainly respect the large scale organization that goes into pulling a festival […]

Ahhh. Sigh. At last a good band for a summer day.
Blonde Redhead has taken over the river stage, and this is music that dosen’t lose it’s glow in the sunshine. Pressed up against a wall of speakers, you get taken over by the collective, bassy heartbeat and singer Kazu Makino’s floaty voice could carry up […]
