Interview: A Chat with Paul of Paul’s Boutique, Montreal
You might remember the record shop, Paul’s Boutique from my previous travel in Montreal. I went back there when I was in MTL earlier this month and to my surprise I learned that my post generated a lot of business for the shop. I came back the next day to drop this interview with the [...]
Montreal Find: DJ Skratch Bastid
In every new city that I travel to, I try to find a new artist in town that exemplifies their fair city. During my trip to Montreal I stumbled upon one such artist: DJ Skratch Bastid. Download: DJ Skratch Bastid – 110% Mix For the second time in a row, I’ve walked past my favorite [...]
Concert: Femi Kuti at The Montreal Jazz Festival
Photos By Stone – The Couch Sessions Every artist who even dares think about performing should check out a Femi Kuti performance. Not only did Femi put on back to back 2 hour plus performances, but he did it with more style and ferocity than I’ve sever seen in a performing artist this year. His [...]
Wale’s No Show In Montreal
So one of the highlights of my trip was going to be covering DC’s own Wale at the Jazz Festival. Not only would I be in the area while DC was being represented to the fullest in another country, but I can also see how people outside of the DMV respond to the go-go sound [...]
Concert Review: Thunderheist at the Montreal Jazz Festival
This ain’t your daddy’s Jazz Festival. Out of all the midnight shows I saw at the Festival, Thunderheist was the most entertaining. The Canadian duo’s homecoming marked the end of their North American tour, and their tour-tested set completely rocked Montreal’s Club Soda last Saturday. Performance-wise, the group was on point. As I have said [...]
Review: High Tone at Montreal Jazz Festival
The first thing I’ve realized about the Montreal Jazz Festival is that this type of even will never happen in America. In the US, you need big names on the bill to “sell” people into coming to an event, and yes, the big names came out to Montreal too. Stevie, Tony Bennett, and others made [...]
MONTREAL: Concert Review – The Bug at The 2009 Montreal Jazz Festival
So I’m not gonna lie, I came into this concert not knowing what to expect. I’ve never heard of the bug, but I was going to give him props anyway because his latest release, titled London Zoo, dropped on the venerable NinjaTune Label, home of such acts as the Herbalizer and Roots Manuva. Little did [...]

Last year I had the opportunity to hang out with Chuck D and Flava Flav of Public Enemy and discovered some new and upcoming talent. This year, I’m checking out Joshua Redman, [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
