My Favourite Faded Fantasy

November 10, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

He’s back guys! He’s back! He’s back! Irish, “self-lacerating troubador” Damien Rice has, after an eight-year absence, released his newest album My Favourite Faded Fantasy today in North America. I’m still on my first run-though, but this album is so classic Damien it’s hard to believe he’s been radio silent for this long. In expected form, the majority of the songs are slow, quiet and introspective– but with 30 seconds to spare he usually builds up to a screeching, voice-cracking […]

A little thunder’s good

December 9, 2013 by ebembo

In movies and TV shows, there is a trope that, if properly executed, can be utterly charming, and if poorly handled, can be the most grating thing in the world, and that is the oft-used character of the Wise Beyond Her Years Child. In the movie 500 Days of Summer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character seeks life advice from his kid sister, played by a pre-teen Chloë Grace Moretz, as she waxes philosophical from the sidelines of her soccer game. At first, […]

Let Your Mind Wander & Your Heart Soar

November 4, 2013 by ebembo

The Guggenheim Museum, New York City (My thanks to Vappz for giving me the opportunity to write another guest blog.) Many months ago, I was overwhelmed with school assignments and exams. Despite needing to spend every waking moment writing, researching, and studying, I kept finding myself staring off into space, daydreaming. The reason behind these lost moments? I had gone to a concert and exchanged Meaningful Eye Contact (TM) with a bassist. I knew it was silly to keep thinking […]

The Echo from the Mountain

October 7, 2013 by ebembo

View from the Ubisoft rooftop terrace in Montreal Pop Montreal has come and gone in a flash. This year’s line-up was particularly strong and the festival was made all the better by gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather.  As is often the case at Pop, deciding which concert to see when there are so many amazing acts playing at the same time proved to be especially challenging. But there was one show in particular that I knew, hands-down, I would not miss: […]

Gold fleur-de-lis gates at the jardin tuileries, Place de la concorde, Paris, sun flare

White, Gold, Wild

June 25, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Looking out through the gates of Jardins des Tuileries towards Place de la Concorde, Paris The Montreal Jazz Fest starts this Friday, which makes me unbelievably jealous. That city is just the greatest place on earth in the summer. Jazz Fest is only the first in a long string of festivals of all my favourite things: music, art, music, comedy, music. Resulting in former-Montrealers to think of the City in wistful tones “Oh Montreal…” We use the same air of […]
