Top songs from 2014

Top Drops 2014

January 13, 2015 by snapshotsandneedledrops

It’s been a scarce couple of musical months, guys and dolls. Life has taken on a new kind of intensity after starting my new job– which I love– but unfortunately leaves me with little time for musical exploration or blogging. However, missing out on listing Snapshots and Needle Drops’ top ten drops and shots for 2014 was never an option… even if it is late. Once again, I plan on posting last year’s photography on the Snapshots and Needle Drops […]

Beats on Repeat

June 30, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

  We’re branching into something a little different at Snapshots and Needle Drops today. Beats on Repeat will be the periodic (re: whenever I feel like it) publication of my weekly musical obsessions. These are songs that I just can’t stop hitting replay on; the tracks I can’t get out of my head and, for whatever reason, will not get a Doodledrop of their own. Beats on Repeat will be featured pretty much solely on Snapshots and Needle Drops’ facebook page. So get […]

Fans by the concert stage barricade

Osheaga Playlist 2014

March 11, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Three fans mourn the end of Metric’s set while The Black Keys rock out 50ft to their left. As Canadians outside Montreal are becoming increasingly aware, for the August long-weekend there is nowhere else to be but Parc Jean-Drapeau. Starting the year before I moved to Montreal in 2006, the Osheaga Festival Musique et Arts has really exploded in the last few years, reaching 135,000 attendees in 2013 (apparently 70% from outside Québec)- practically busting out into the Saint Lawrence […]

Top Drops 2013 Close up of sheep

Top Drops 2013

January 7, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

As promised in last week’s Top Shots 2013, I have painstakingly culled my precious music selections from the past year and whittled down a top ten list for 2013’s Needle Drops. It was no simple task. I hummed and hawed, listened and relistened, made lists and reversed them and eventually came up with the following. Am I obsessive? Probably. Did I put too much time into this? Most likely. Am I happy with the results? Yes… I think so… Yeah…………. […]

Osh- itimmissing- eaga 2013

Osh-itimmissing-eaga 2013

July 22, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Osheaga 2013 is less than two weeks away. That, along with missing Just for Laughs, Jazz Fest, the new food trucks (street meat!!) and hikes up to Mile End for St Viateur bagels is enough to make anyone severely nostalgic for Montreal summer days and nights. Fortunately, I am very happy in my Australian life and will only feel slight pangs of jealousy when you all start increasingly posting about this epic indie festival. Like previous years, Osheaga 2013 features […]

Gold maple leaf on pavement

Canadian Gold

July 1, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA! I spent this Canada Day’s eve as a happy little ex-pat: baking maple cookies, wearing red flannel and unabashedly, albeit ironically, belting out Sloan lyrics– “One thing I know about the rest of my life… I KNOW THAT I’LL BE LIVING IT IN CANADA”.  And, while I imagined you all drinking beer on the dock and enjoying your day off, I was toiling away at my desk– not-so-secretly sporting a CANUCK tshirt under my blazer. Classic Canadiana: […]
