random musings
blogger needs to devise a more efficient way to upload photos. like facebook with its iphoto exporter. or i need to take less photos. in any case, temporary hiatus on photos here until i've sorted through my montreal pics.in other news, just back from montreal, and the osheaga festival. stars was awesome, feist was amazing, and don't even get me started on damien rice. found a few new bands too, like the veils and the editors were not bad (considering i was just listening to them to while away time before stars played). would wax lyrical about how wonderful the experience was, standing on the dusty ground listening to the bands play so close to you and feeling the vibe of the crowd, but words fail me. (that and the fact that some of you might murder me) but suffice to say, just listening to those three play consecutively was enough to complete my day and make my money's worth, so much so that i skipped the smashing pumpkins, who were the highlight of the night, in favour of sitting down and dinner. hurhur.
montreal is wonderful. not just for the music fest, but also the city as well, both old montreal (vieux-montreal, see, i know my french, sorta..) and the nightlife districts (st-laurent, st-catherine, and rue sherbrooke, if i recall) i love the place. and as a canadian friend of mine said, all i had to do was to attend the tamtams festival at parc du mont-royal on sunday (it's a festival at the bottom of the hill from which montreal got its name, and every sunday in summer they just gather and play drums and dance...okay i really suck at describing it) to grasp the essence of montreal. well...i went for it, it was really cool and hippie-ish, and i love how they can just laze back in the sun and on the grass and just appreciate life and take it all in.
sigh. must. go. back. soon.
photos up soon. promise. one day.
