Montreal New Years Eve 2010 :: the Blog

I know a cool festival by its website. According to this rule, the Jazz Fest is lame because its website is square and old fashioned, but the MEG Montreal Festival is the bomb .

What exactly is the MEG festival, I am not too sure, and I don’t even know what the acronym stands for. What I do know is that some pretty damn good music will be showcased at the festival.

To start, the amazing Bonobo will be playing the last day of the festival, Sunday the 1st. If you don’t know what a bonobo is, I can just tell you that it is a very sexually active primate (I guess a bit like us). But the Bonobo is a primate from the UK, making groovy electronic music like none other.

To end, the amazing Chromeo will be playing tomorrow Saturday the 31st. The guys from Chromeo went to my high-school and I saw them perform live maybe in 95 (that’s already 15 years ago for *&*# sakes). This morning I take the Montreal metro to work, like every day of my adult-like life, and i see that both frewe daylies, Metro and 24 Heures, have Chromeo mentioned on their front page. It’s good to see people from my generation making it (and I still taking the metro).

Then again with a genius album cover art like this bellow, how can they not make it?

The Football World Cup is nearing the end, but that shouldn’t stop us from pushing a close friend of ours. KF13 is a talented Montreal-based graphic designer, and a huge football fan. To celebrate the countries that made it to the World Cup, he has released an original line of football shirts. All the designs are unique and can only be purchased on his Rudetackle Zazzle online-store.

Get a shirt from Rudetackle and you can be sure that no one else will have the same tshirt as you. You will not find this line of apparel anywhere in stores either; online is the only place.

It’s pointless to describe the designs in text; just go and visit his online store and you will be convinced.
