I can't believe nobody commented as this looks like your most appealing best best of lists in the time I've known you.

I just downloaded your list, so Danke im Voraus, as they say.

[jonox]

excuse me, your mix. A little tired, this one.

[odetothepillow]

As you can see, some of the stuff on my "best albums" list has already changed, but I hope you enjoy the mix.

You came up to Montreal for the Festival TransAmériques?

[jonox]

Yes, it was a very nice mix. I went for Festival TransAmériques and also went for all of two hours for dinner at La Fabrique Annexe on a seperate trip in which I only had time for a quick stop. I don't know much about the restaurants there but I also liked L'Express.

Now I'm listening to Mark Ronson and reading Nixonland.

The Weeknd! I really need to get on board with Zola Jesus. Also: I need to check out that Tim Hecker album.

Why was the Godspeed show so bad?

[odetothepillow]

They played for two fucking hours. (It would have been great if they'd played half as long.) I thought it would never end, like in The Exterminating Angel by Bunuel, and we'd all end up killing and eating each other. Funnily enough, because of that, the closest thing I can compare it to is the Kylie Minogue concert, except that one was also a capitalistic ritual, which made it slightly more intriguing.

If I had bothered to write something, I would have said that The Weeknd makes pop music that actually sounds as depressing as the superficial lifestyle it's promoting, and that that's refreshing.
