We Know The Moves

September 22, 2014 by ebembo

  The West Block, Parliament Hill, Ottawa – Scheduled to reopen in 2017 Having each calendar year begin on a seemingly arbitrary day smack in the middle of the winter – just another cold day, undistinguishable from the cold days that preceded it – always struck me as an odd way to start fresh. If I had my way, I would have advised Pope Gregory to start every year in September. What better way to begin anew than during the most dramatic […]

Osheaga music festival at night

Osheaga Wish List

August 4, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Cirque du soleil acrobats perform in Place des Arts, Montreal

By the Seine

June 8, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I’ve mentioned before that I do some work at a radio station. Yesterday I was preparing to pre-record a show and grabbed Iron & Wine’s album of rare-releases “Around the Well” from the station’s library (which, by the way, is a Mecca of music). I was scrolling through the tracks when I found this gem God Made the Automobile…. Psych! Can’t actually embed that track but I found a youtube video that I really enjoy that uses it. So check […]
