Yes, it is the- end of the- second day in Montreal, specifically at Andrew & Paige's.
These streets stretch out forever and a drunken day for someone suffering amnesia with the term 'blocks'... there was a not so funny experience earlier today where I did the flâneur, except I was carrying three (!) heavy grocery bags (among many other things, a jar of roasted peppers and eggplant spread not pictured; hummus and squirrel pictured) for 7 unfortunate hours. However, I pretended I did not have a goal in mind, this I did by not referring to my map as often and only briefly when doing so.
Baudelaire would have been proud.
The squirrel was not harmed during the photo shoot. It could have harmed me, actually. These things are feral. The shape of its tail does however remind me of one particular person; Andrew introduced me to a member of the Wolf parade last night when we ran into the mohawked lad (soon to be touring Eastern Europe, lucky lucky) on Fairmount maybe- we were going for hot bagels. This was past 11 pm, apparently a normal event in Montreal.
Then today there was the Fujiya & Miyagi. En route, was introduced to Nick Diamond from former Unicorns. Are all rockstars Auschwitz skinny? Regardless, we love you to bits, Nick. Fujiya & Miyagi, too: some of us remember Pitchfork pretty much blew that lovedoll up good last time, so I was expecting a stupid crowd, somewhere in the hundreds. This was the venue, Lambi:
Only maybe three dozen heads were there. Most of them are in the picture. Boo.
Besides, smaller crowd means intimacy, baby! Yes, their songs run parallel to each other, meaning they basically sound similar. But boy did they rock it. Seizure lights and everything.Mar will be spotted at:
