\nTo me she is one of the most original, creative and authentic pop icon of the 90’s. Read my posts on Medulla<\/i> here<\/a> and here<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nEven quite early this year I knew this album would be in my best of. This modern love<\/i> and Banquet<\/i> (‘caus i’m on fiiiiiiire!) marked the year in rock’n roll. A show i will always regret i missed<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nEn feu sur un nuage – the energy coming out of this album remembers me hey, i’m alive!<\/i> Pictures and videos of the show can be found here<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nshow review and pictures here<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nwho could have told me i was about to meet Erlend Oye on St-Laurent that night, and have a drink ’till real late with Eirick and friends at Laika on a tuesday nite.
\nI listened to the The Smiths<\/i> meets Erlend Oye hit ‘I’d rather dance than talk with you<\/a><\/i>‘ repetitively and compulsively – enough to make any neighbors move out. A boyfriend would probably have splitted too.
\nPictures and video of the show are here<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nErlend<\/a> again, best DJ Kicks ever. Heard it sucked on a live set though;<\/p>\n
\nSome girls have it all and she does. An excellent pop album, one of the few female artist i can listen to on and on, followed by an excellent DJ Kicks from german label !K7.
\nAlbum review here<\/a>, pictures and show review here<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nThey found their way to me trough Myspace<\/a> and i hope they’ll find their way to be heard in north america. Videos here<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nFound late at nite on Myspace<\/a> too, i was stuck by their incredible pop and strong melodies. I heard you loved them too;<\/p>\n
\nfrom Australia, an excellent album if you’r on fire. Sadly, their van died before they reached my island for the Pop Montreal festival;<\/p>\n
\nwas a breakthrough for everyone<\/a>, not to remind me that i missed them at the Main Hall;<\/p>\n
\nenfin! quoi dire de plus. Combien de bon groupes rock francophones sont encore cach\u00e9s dans nos garde-robes? Pictures<\/a> from my Pop Montreal coverage;<\/p>\n
\nTwice in Montreal this last year, a great album and a great show<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nGet up and dance – Mylo is definitely one of my best dance album of the year. High in class, will finally be dancing on February 13th at the Cabaret. You loved him too<\/a>;<\/p>\n
\nListening to over and over and over and… Indie-electro-romantic<\/a>. Did they replaced New Order?<\/p>\n
\nDidnt heard about many of you guys on this album. I loved pieces like ‘Follow my ruin<\/i>‘, ‘Go away<\/i>‘ and the great ‘49 percent<\/i>‘… like a party in my house<\/a>, i tell ya…<\/p>\n
\ni couldnt go without mentioning excellent bands i discovered this year: Beirut, Mission District, styrofoam, Voxtrot, Islands, The most serene republic, Chromeo, Of Montreal, Pop Montreal festival<\/a>, Pop Montreal festival<\/a>, Pop Montreal festival<\/a>, and so on.<\/p>\n
