Flexx

August 7, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Last Tuesday night I had the pleasure of attending an incredible dance show, Flexx, as a part of Divers/Cité Montreal (thank you Mr. Director!) Musically, they primarily used a beautiful, thin orchestral score except for one well-placed Cat Power song. I immediately knew I would use it for snapshots. However, the only pic I wanted to match it with was this breathtaking shot of Britt Lavigne. This lovely lady and I used to dance together on a competitive hip hop team […]

Closing Jazz Fest

July 5, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The Love Shack is a little ole place where 100,000 people can get together. Last night my friends and I went to the closing concerts of the 2011 Montreal International Jazz Festival. On the main stage the B-52s were rocking it like it was 1989. The place was a mad house. Apparently by the time the 80s band graced the stage over 100,000 people had crowded into Place-des-Arts. After paying our respects to the B-52s by grooving to their tunes […]

Que reste-t-il de nos amours?

June 11, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

It’s been a dreary day and my energy level has been at zero. I’ve selected an image and music to match. The song is the standard I Wish You Love. Originally written in French, the English version has been sung by greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, The Drifters, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand… the list goes on and on and on. I like a relatively new recording; the Rachael Yamagata version was […]

Hometown Visits

June 4, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Man, I miss that waterfront… The summer after my first year of university these two fine women came to visit me in my hometown. The Parisienne attracted a lot of attention at dinner in my small town, by the end of the meal, the entire wait staff had come over to say “bon-jer.” I have two ideas for these photos, it all depends on how you want to perceive them. Happy? You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne Nostalgic […]

Merch at the Rock Show

May 26, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I took this photo of a merchandise table a couple months ago at the concert of one of my favourite bands. The track I’ve selected is not from this unnamed group but is off of The Black Key’s 2010 album “Brothers.” The entire disk is solid from start to finish. I love the old school style of rock these guys have. Most of the tracks have these persistent beats that are both simple and creative- the result is addictive sound […]
