The longest list of audioblogs in the world!

Yes!
According to myself and the 3286742332458735345(…) web pages i’ve seen since opening a computer at age 12, i can officially tell you that i have finally found the more extensive listing of audioblogs (podcasts dear) in the whole universe.

A musicblogger/audioblogger/MP3blogger is a person who offers interesting, out of print, rare or otherwise engaging music to people at no charge, out of love for the sound and to promote artists that they would like to see get more popular. (…)

As of May 9th, 2005, all of the following sites are live and have tunes available to listen to. Almost all of them allow you to download music to listen to at your leisure.

God bless the internet, i tell ‘ya.

Bday soon

It is soon.. what the hell should i do to celebrate the last days of my 20’s?

People started to send me wishes, some of the most funny ones..

Dont forget to send me yours! mcturgeon (at) gmail.com!

Ma tasse de thé (mon thé de lait)

… entre vous et moi, on sait tous que les ordinateurs, c’est une affaire de gars hein?

si je vous parle d’une histoire entendu pas plus tard que la semaine dernière, au sujet du pourquoi il y a pas beaucoup de filles dans le studio d’une agence bien connue à mtl que je ne nommerai pas ici : “C’est parce que les gars sont plus rapides” – ca vous dérange pas hein?

si je vous disais que l’élite, ceux que l’on retrouve en général invités, ou qui s’invitent entre eux, dans les conférences sur les blogs ou sur n’importe quel trend techno, sont des hommes, ca vous dit rien hein?

si je vous ramasse tout ça comme ça, spontanément ici, alors que je prend rarement position sur des sujets qui incitent au débat, vous allez vous dire “ca y est, en v’la une autre fémi*** et frus*** en plus” hein?

(En passant, si je vous laissais connaître le nom de l’agence dont je parle ici, je suis à peu près certaine que vous feriez tous ensemble une belle chorale de “hein?”)

Week end round up

All started with a beer and later a never ending dinner at Soy with blogger-friends toine, patrick and nika – and ended yesterday nite with the LCD Soundsystem show at La Tulipe.

We all forgot about the cold, the gray, the rain. La Tulipe was da hottest place in town yesterday nite – le monde ils étaient en feu je vous le dit.

The place was totally crowded. First act Mia was incredibly good and followers LCD kept us dancing and jumping around ’till 12. Only thing was that the band didn’t look as excited as the crowd was – for once that mtl people were not as cold…

I went there alone, all my buddies who wanted to come didn’t made it to buy their tickets on time – *shame on them* – but somehow i managed to find myself being right next to Patti Schmidt on the dancefloor (’oh hey hi – sorry to be annoying but, are you patti schmidt?). Also Sasha, a Vu d’ici reader, recognized me (’hey! are you by any chance this girl who’s gonna be turning 30 next week?) – tx for saying hi dude.

Somehow my camera wont let me get yesterday’s picture out. Soon.

Vu lu mais pas entendu

Venant d’un agile commentateur qui s’est retrouvé sur le carnet de cdf par hasard, et qui par le fait même en profite pour passer aux aveux :

…juste pour dire que l’on est nombreux à exister et que j’aime bien internet

C’est tellement simple que ca en est beau.

Kafeine (c’est le nickname du commentateur ça) je crois qu’on pourrait facilement devenir amis.

BBC NEWS says: Podcasting could be a revolution

A lot of the material out there is dull, badly produced, uninspired, derivative or simply misconceived. However, the same can be said of television, as a surf through the channels on satellite or Freeview will reveal, and this does not mean there is not great stuff too.

Podcasting will not replace radio in my life, not least because I like to listen in real-time. But it adds an interesting element to the mix and is an easy way to find new voices that would otherwise never come to my attention.

And if by any means you dont exactly know what podcasting is, there is a little more to read, this way.

Modern contemporary design & architecture

Il pleut et c’est gris. Je vous refile un secret bien gardé :

* MoCo Loco – Modern contemporary design & architecture

J’sais pas pour vous, mais moi quand je vois que quelqun a pensé à changer le pattern traditionnel de la clôture de métal pour y faire vivre un motif floral (qui n’est pas sans rappeler le macramé vous direz – il y a une bien meilleure photo dans le mag Icon en passant) bien ca me fait reprendre conscience que tout est flexible et modifiable.

Update, thx to zeke : moco montreal AND moco art

(take the chicken) out of the box

Being a specialist, knowing your topic so well can close your mind to new ideas;
being a newbie, knowing a little about a specified topic can be the greatest of all gifts, giving you the freedom needed to create something new and original, all because of your point of view, perspective and innocence about a topic.

As if knowledge wouldn’t be enough.
