I think my first post should be about the most important album in my life: The Downward Spiral by NIN.

It’s a difficult album to listen to, both musically and emotionally. But it is a work of art.

Got me through my late teens: the death of a friend and the complications of love.

Seriously. What a great album.
Every vinyl collection needs it.

Love this Miles Davis album. Highly underrated and under played.

Every vinyl collection needs it. I had a copy but it got wrecked beyond use. Picked up for a good price off Discogs.

Not a huge fan of Harmonium but if you live in Quebec, it’s a part of history. Great french-Canadian hippie folk rock.

Not as well known as Surrealistic Pillow, but still great Jefferson Airplane. Cover has seen better days but record is pristine

Bangles: Different Light.
Amazing Album. Got a great price from a Canadian vendor on Discogs.

Haven’t posted in a while but made a few acquisitions.
This album is insane. Forget Nana Mouskouri kitsch euro-pop.
This is 28 year old Nana singing jazz standards produced by Q. Jones. Get it!

Who doesn’t like swing jazz?

I haven’t done lindy-hop in a while but Woodchopper’s Ball always reminds me of my last comps… about a thousand years ago.

I love her stuff. Talented young woman with a long career ahead of herself.
Although I would like to hear something other than the wispy voice with slow vibes next album.
Maybe? Just musings

First press edition. Sleeve is ok-ish but the record itself is top condition. One of my faves.

Some Saturday morning folk to go with morning coffee.
What a voice! Can’t believe he didn’t have a bigger impact outside Canada.

Yesterday after work was Sabbath. I’m good for a change.

If you ever want to listen to a great french-canadian singer and lyricist from Quebec,Daniel Bélanger is a great start.

1st graders were absolute sh&$ts today. Love my job. But hey. Kids be kids.

What’s better than some vaguely angry hippie rock to set things right?

By far my fave Sabbath.
Supernaut ftw.

Doing my regular blues Dj set at West Shefford Pub in Montreal.
People are arriving, dance floor is getting active.

Right now: Pretty Baby by Carey and Lurrie Bell.

It’s so cold in Montreal today.

(Insert french-canadian swear word here)

I am a poor excuse for a Quebecer. I hate the cold. (Snow is fine)

So. Sunday: Joni Mitchell’s glorious voice to warm me up.

Awesome album.

Zanaka by Jain.
Souldier is also fantastic.

Jain also seems like a very interesting artist and woman.

Still trying to figure out if Iike « The Fool »

Not music related but I have a dog and a social media account. It’s kind of inevitable.

Being a southern States trailer trash rescue dog adopted by Canadians.

Her love of winter is non-existant.

Saturday morning tradition:
Glenn Gould playing Bach.

My dad used to put CBC on in the morning when was a kid and Gould would play almost every saturday morning.

I miss 80’s and 90’s CBC radio

Cold in Montreal would be an understatement: -25C (-13F)

Randomly chose something to distract from the misery of walking to work.

Knew nothing! Beautiful voice, nice arrangements.
