Patrujo (J Rakieski) from Pittsburgh is one of my favorite photographer on Flickr. He creates very weird and intriguing moments. Here's a slideshow of his work http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrujo/show/ Enjoy !

Soirées Quebec 84! Vol. 10

I'm not a big fan of 80's music, but I'll plug once more the Soirée Québec 84! that will be held December 22nd at Rouje. The teaser poster is cool, but it reminds me why I don't like the 80's...

Paper Thin Records

While listening to Last.FM, I discovered a very interesting independent label from Boston. The label is Paper Thin Records and they specialize in instrumental indie, pseudo-outsider, and rock/noise/experimental/8-bit artists. Here's the artists (linking to their Last.FM page so you can listen to their free streams). Avi Paul Weinstein Brian Saia Simon Taylor Lawrence Valby Emily Geanacopoulos The Georgie Porgies Two Sheds The Harriers The Daikon Legs Quartet Reverend D and the Fifteen Teeth

Here's a video made by the two founders (Avi Paul Weinstein and Emily Geanacopoulos). The music is a cover of "I Wanna be Your Dog" by The Stooges.

Don't mess with my flight plans by David Olive

I've found a very interesting article on the Toronto Star's website by David Olive. It's about last week thwarted terrorist plot to blow-up multiple planes. He summarize very well my thoughts on mass-medias shoving fear down our throats, and the governments using that fear to diminish our rights. Life is dangerous, deal with it ! You can find the article here.

Flagr + Flickr

Ever since Geoblogger went down, I was looking for something similar. I found Flagr, a site you can use to put flags on a Google map. The brilliant thing is, you can then link those flags with your photos on Flickr. Simply add a Flagr icon in the photo's comments and the visitors can see where you took the photo. More info about all that in the Flagr::Sharewhere! group on Flickr. Here's an exemple of a clickable Flagr icon:

Tonight's Subhumans show

I've finally seen Subhumans at l'Anti tonight. What a great show ! Amazing ! Those guys are solid, and they can teach a lesson to many bands. It was a concentrate of pure energy. I wish they could've gone for longer, but I can imagine they were pretty exhausted from such a performance. The show went so fast, it was like a flash. It was good seeing that big crowd of punks outside, scatering around côte d'Abraham, still stunned by the show. Here's a video of the song "I Don't wanna die" I've found on YouTube that was recorded August 6, 1998.

Clash ! Un show de danse

Don't miss the latest dance show by choregrapher Harold Rhéaume. If you never saw a modern dance show, this would a great place to start. Interpreted by Harold Rhéaume, Stéphane Deligny, Pierre-Alexandre Lamoureux, Karine Ledoyen and Arielle Warnke St-Pierre. As a bonus, the soundtrack is by Mathieu Doyon.
