“THIS IS HISTORY, FOOL!”

September 27, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

On Friday night I was sent back to 1964 curtesy of the POP Montreal event, The Ponderosa Stomp Revue. In Caberet du Mile End, Montreal DJ, Karen R. and myself took in a night of Motown soul that featured The Velvelettes, Ralph “Soul” Jackson and Lil’ Buck & The Buckaroos. I got to live out my American Bandstand dreams as I danced the twist to a real 60’s Motown girl group, who were complete with coordinated outfits and synchronized dance […]

Setting the Arcade on Fire

September 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

On Thursday night I was part of “the most polite giant mob” Win Butler had ever seen.  Hometown heroes, Arcade Fire, drew a crowd of 75,000 people for their free show which, both concluded their international tour and kick-started the 10th annual indie-music festival, POP Montreal. This has been a fantastic year for the band, in August 2010 they came out with their third studio album, The Suburbs. The Suburbs received wide acclaim by both music critics and fans. The NME’s […]

Lazy Tuesday

September 20, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Today is one of those rare and strange days with absolutely no commitments. Made even more odd because it’s a Tuesday. You know how people like to find celebrity lookalikes for themselves and their friends? Yes? No? Just the foolish people I know? For whatever reason, my friends are always at a loss when it comes to me and can never think of anyone. EXCEPT this one time a girl told me I look like Ingrid Michaelson. I think it’s the […]

“We are Stars and so are you”

September 16, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I loved them when I was 14 and I love them now. The band Stars are Montreal legends. It has become tradition that, every autumn, the lovely Ms. GB and I attend a Stars concert in the fabulous city that both we and the band calls home. Sadly, my bestie and I are parted at the moment, but I was fortunate enough to be asked by another stellar individual to go to a free Mother Mother and Stars concert organized […]

Because Kate Nash Said…

September 14, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This morning a message from one of my favourite singers, Kate Nash, popped up on my facebook feed. It urged me (and I suppose the rest of the ‘like’ Kate Nash community) to go buy the newest Peggy Sue album, Acrobats. I didn’t- but I did check them out. They’re a pretty cool band from Brighton, UK. I’ve embedded my favourite, but there are also some really great ones of them doing street-side performances in a few cities. The video […]

Raggamuffin

September 12, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Hey friends. Most of you have noticed that I’ve been really slack on the whole snapshots and needle drops business. My apologies. I promise to post a lot more frequently this month. I just spent a couple of wonderful weeks on the west coast and I snaped some pics that I’d like to share with you all- starting with this one of the laughing statues at English Bay in Vancouver. The song is Raggamuffin and is the first single by the young Belgian […]
