Well, if you’re a Canadian kid seeking the indie music in your town, chances are good you know or need to know Stillepost - a moderator-coordinated forum of show listings from all the dark lovely holes in the walls of towns across the nation, which also plays host to some rebel yells, and fights and [...]

Here’s a quick and blurry video bit, shot from near the back of Divan Orange last night where I got to take in Daniel Schacher’s solo act. It was cozycrowded in Divan Orange, as this venue tends to be with its warm, big, bright art and smart booking; where shows always start after 10pm because [...]

This venue is unofficial, and buried deep in the bowels of the horror-movie perfect old building at 1180 St.Antoine, in the perpetual shadow of the Bell Amphitheater (or whoever the title sponsor is now).
It’s actually the studio of a small collective of painters / visual artists / artistsgenerally who call themselves and their space [...]

Ah New Years. Ahh the whole season, actually, leaves me short on words. I like to get cozy with my new books (Wikinomics, thanks family!) and surface as little as possible following the ethically confusing gift bonanza, but meanwhile the New Year hollars for attention and despite my steely R n’ R resolve, parts of [...]

The show in question was the sold-out performance by Plants and Animals, which, despite the weather, was packed to the mother-f’ing gills. The show opened with 2/3 of the [...]

Over the past year and a half of Indyish, and 10 months of Monthly Messes, (which are archived by Elran on the Monthly Mess round up page), we’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of different venues in Montreal. We started the Mess thinking we might keep it at Katacombes (venue #1) but [...]

Been craft fair-ing all day? Want my advice? It’s cold out there! Cozy into Dave Cool’s venue tonight if you want bodyheat and great singer songwriters as it’s launching up with much gladness and neighborhood vibes and some true happiness for Cool, plus some good media! See: Gazette, Natasha Hall.
Tonight’s performers Paul Cargnello [...]

Crucial to open systems, or at least to open source software development, is the right to fork. This right is embedded in the culture and licenses of the open source code community: because the systems are always visible and legally available, anyone can take the whole code off in a new direction and use what [...]

Much thanks should go out to Blue Skies Turn Black for having sought out and tunneled plein de cool into Montreal here over the years. They teamed with Friendship Cove to throw the birthday party that shook city blocks last week; here’s my quick little review with some photos from Marilis Cardinal.
