And the MECCA goes to... 2008-09 season award winners
While Anglophone-oriented arts and culture is technically considered a minority in Quebec, it maintains a high profile in Montreal partly due to the community built around it. Since 1998, the Montreal English Critics Circle Awards (MECCA) – organized by local theatre critics themselves – has…


R.I.P. Marcel Simard
Documentary filmmaker and producer Marcel Simard is no longer with us, and it's a very sad story. But Simard's suicide death has also given the doc filmmaking community reason to rage against the worsening conditions facing the sector. In an op-ed in the March 10 issue of Le Devoir, Simard's…


L'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal unveils its 2010-2011 season
(By Hour writer Richard Burnett) "You're sitting in my office!" OSM Maestro Kent Nagano told over 50 journalists and cameramen assembled on the stage at Place des Arts' Salle Wilfred Pelletier after he had conducted his orchestra through an introductory song.…


Greening the Plateau event
This week, there's a hint of spring in the air, no? I've started to notice the quality of the light change, as it sneaks in my bedroom window - earlier - and with its rusty-orange glow. It's downright teasy. Next, we'll be seeing little sprigs of grass poping up here and there,…


Grey skies turn blue, Black Feelings turn it up, and other Friday fantasticness
For the first time in a long time, today I felt the warmth of the sun. And while brief, it reminded me that maybe I should save my beer and poutine money for a "sun-destination" trip next winter. But, well, beer and poutine... Speaking of which: Friday! And…


This Galaxie shortlists five possible new stars with supernova to come Saturday
Today Canadian Music Week (CMW), in combination with Galaxie (who run those digital music specialty channels for pay-TV subscribers that are quite handy when you're too lazy to get up and change the CD or plug in your iPod), announced the shortlist for the 2010…


Chris Velan is saving the earth, y'all
Singer/songwriter Chris Velan, a socially-concerned fellow, is gearing up for what might be his most important tour yet. As he is a partner, now, with 1% for the Planet, his cause, well, is earth. And since we all live on the earth, he's basically playing shows to you, for you. Probably best not to…


You can't keep a good man, or, in this case, Old Man Luedecke, down
If you've never been to Chester, NS, you're missing out. Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet and some of the nicest sunsets you'll ever see. Okay, that's probably true and all, but we're totally making it up. We've never been to Chester, but if…


AfterpartY go to war with the army they've got, and victory looks all but certain
There's always been a place at the table for muscular, female-fronted rock; a respect for the girl who can run with the boys. And then some. From Blondie to Garbage to No Doubt to Canada's own Joydrop, there is a strong rock legacy in this regard and…


Yukon Blonde entering CMW, SXSW with a ton of steam, new video
While 2010 is still a young year and there's no award for Album-of-the-Year-So-Far. That said, one of the hottest Canuck albums going these days, as we're entering the second quarter of 2010, is Yukon Blonde's self-titled debut. Given a bunch of pre-release props by…
