Osheaga 2010
Yet another festival that takes advantage of Montreal’s short but fun-filled summer is the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival. A two-day mélange of indie/hipster goodness and enough mainstream acts to attract the masses, the festival boasts the relaxed atmosphere you might expect. continue reading...
A short while ago a million and forty music journos and bloggers (myself included, as you can see here) expressed well, whatever they cared to express about the fact that Metric was asked to write a song for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack and happily obliged.
