Small world we live in…
Story by Moon-Hee for Vu d’ici
It’s now been a bit over a month since I’ve changed jobs and I’m already missing all the new music that was being sent to me and other colleagues. The last album I received (just a few weeks ago) was of Brooklyn artist Reid Paley. Anyways… an awesome surprise, he has collaborated with Frank Black, so what more can I say? I am a music lover and cannot get enough of it:)
Another surprise was when I was reviewing a tiny clip I filmed last year at Southpaw in Brooklyn. I remembered I was filming a wall of posters, because they have a poster of The Dagons who I had worked for the past three years, then I noticed that Reid’s poster was stuck right beside… small world, I knew there was something familiar about that guy…

Make Art Public
One of my dear friends, Manuel Bujold, has been cooking up a brilliant project for the past couple of years, called MAP or Make Art Public / Mouvement d’art public.
It was finally launched a few months ago at Square Victoria metro station. If you live in Montreal, you might’ve seen that there is a publicity free section of billboards. The ads have been replaced by art, exposing artists to thousands of daily metro users. The project will also be launched in Ottawa, Québec, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Mexico.
Art will replace publicity in subways, bus stops, billboards and columns, so check it out if you can!

East Café
I don’t know why, but I have this psychological barrier that’s keeping me from getting to get to my friend’s place, where I stored a few boxes of my personal belongings. I can’t find my passport and I assume it must be there. It’s not at the end of the world, it’s just east of Pie IX… for real. But I recently remembered an old colleague of mine opened up a sweet restaurant/café/caterer on Sainte-Catherine, just east of Pie IX, called Le Tambour…
Turn that frown upside down
My friends dragged me to the zoo in St-Félicien last weekend, where I had the chance to see a very cool polar bear:)
Here’s a little souvenir that keeps me happy: Not my polar bear
more music to love
This year I’ve been bombarded with new work, but when work sounds as good as Torngat I can’t complain… They have a new album “You Could Be”, on Alien8 Recordings which will be in stores on September 18th and a buzzing launch show at Sala Rossa on September 19th.
I love Montreal
I love Montreal so much that I spent my 8 day vacation here. Ok it’s also because I was too broke to go anywhere else. So I walked around the city, roaming with no aim whatsoever, like a tourist. I visited St-Leonard (wow;), Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (double wow;) and I went to visit some old colleagues in Old Montreal. I used to work at Café Titanic ten years ago, but never lost touch with the owners Patrick and Rob, who’ve also opened Cluny Art Bar, which is in the Darling Foundry. Unfortunately got there too late for lunch though, but check it out if ever you’re down there.
Something to check out tonight

the new sushi?
Attention all cupcake lovers, i checked out a little place on Notre-Dame St. near the Corona Theatre called Itsi Bitsi. Lots of cute little cupcakes, I had to take a picture (my Asian blood made me do it). Finally ended up buying one, a chocolate one and was not disappointed. I saw another cupcake place opening up on Mont-Royal and heard about another one on Ave. du Parc. are cupcakes the new sushi?
Montreal Metro Party
Last Friday I went over to Henri-Bourrassa metro around 9pm to check out the newmindspace flash mob metro party. I think we were over 100 people jam-packed into the last wagon of the train, most were dancing, jumping up and down and screaming. Even more when the doors would open at each stop. After having done all the stations on the orange line, we switched back to the other direction but finally got kicked out at Côte-Ste-Catherine metro. Oh well, it was fun I laughed a lot but it was a one time thing for me. It’s kinda hard to party in a moving metro wagon when your blatter’s about to explode!

FADER PARTY: SPYING ON SEAN LENNON & JAMES IHA
I have so much footage and photos from this year’s edition of SXSW, here’s a starter. I’m still such a groupie:) merci à Fred pour le montage.
poutine & cole slaw
I thought I had tried every possible type of poutine there is to eat out there. With chicken, bacon, sausage, shrimp, white wine béchamel sauce, spaghetti sauce, ok I didn’t taste the foie gras one at le pied de cochon, but I tried poutine and cole slaw this week. I was actually pretty pleased. The crunchy and the squeeky went so well together, I will definately try it again:)
My next poutine will be @ SXSW! Montreal’s bringing poutine to Austin! Plus we‘re putting on a showcase at Maggie Mae’s Rooftop on March 15th at 8pm, with Les Breastfeeders, Champion, Malajube, Creature, Call Me Poupée and The Dagons! can’t wait for the music, the sun and the poutine…
