j'aime Montréal

  • I'm back from an awesome long weekend in Montreal! Osheaga was fucking awesome! I'll tell you all about it later!
  • Arctic Monkeys won the Mercury Prize! Respect to Alex Turner for giving props to Richard Hawley!
  • Pete Doherty dodges jail! Again!
  • Fans of The Music might wanna check out "Kill 100" featuring vocals from frontman Robert Harvey.
  • Sufjan Stevens in releasing a Christmas album which, if I'm being honest, I think it pretty lame.
  • Peter Hook ("Hooky") is writing a book about Manchester's legendary nightclub, The Hacienda. It was initially titled "How Not To Run A Club".
  • Banksy strikes again! Paris Hilton and fans of her music are the target!
  • Suri Cruise isn't an alien after all.
  • I still can't believe the Crocodile Hunter died! That's so sad! But if Grizzy Man and Roy (of Siegfried and Roy) taught us anything it's that nature is fucking scary and you can't control it (no matter how charming/crazy you are).
  • I want to go to the film festival - anyone have any hook-ups?
  • The first of Kate Moss' dirty little movies for Agent Provocateur have been released. Here's a preview.
  • Aaand I'll make a proper Osheaga post tomorrow hopefully!

    actually, the sufjan christmas album(s) is very good. it's comprised of all the stuff that leaked out everywhere last christmas. i hope that people give it a good listen before calling it lame.

    it's refreshing to hear christmas music from an artist who is in his prime, instead of listing to the same old recordings of artists our parents grew up with.

    christmas music just doesn't get much better than sufjan's "Come on! Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance!"

    Anonymous - That kid is pretty cute for an alien!

    Pete - I like his version of "O Come Emmanuel" or whatevs but Christmas albums always seem like a cash-grab to me.
