music made me smile

my day:

quarantined at home until i am no longer contagious = browsing the internet

tired of listening to coeur de pirate on repeat = trying to put together a new playlist

play mina tindle = surprised to find myself cracking a smile watching a borderline tacky [save for the adorable theatrical-ness of it all] music video

i just like when people look like they're having fun



laying here sad = my sweetheart playing music for me that he thinks i will like... maybe thats what makes me smile

I {heart} Claire Boucher aka GRIMES

I la la love this girls music / childlike vocal quality. Creepy but sweet...have yet to hear anything like it.

Vancouver born - Montreal based artist Grimes is a good thing for music. Take a listen...

GEORGE HARRISON

Ever wonder what's up with western cultures fascination with India?? This guy might be to blame...

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of George Harrison's death... Among other events there will be concerts in Liverpool at The Cavern Club & St. George's Hall and flags flown in his honor. And a commemorative event at his star on the walk of fame in Hollywood.

Don't know much about the quiet Beatle? check out this documentary... George Harrison: Living in the material World. Five years in the making, the 3.5hr film was pieced together by none other than Martin Scorsese.

Here's a pic of the surviving Beatles (and yoko) with Scorsese at the opening.

TED LOVE

If you don't listen to TED talks... well, you should (that's about as convincing as I get). TED is a great platform for interesting people that are saying stuff worth listening to (aka Ideas Worth Spreading)

Take for example... Thomas Suarez. A 12 year old app developer. You can't make this stuff up.

INTERSECTION ARTICULEE - Ballet de la lumiere

If you have been wondering what those lights above Montreal are I have good news. We have not been invaded by aliens (refer to THIS). Actually we are just the latest landing pad for an exhibit by Montreal based artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer whose previous interactive works have been presented in the world's largest cities.

An article on the installation reports "What's fascinating about the experience is that it's a social interaction that takes place in the sky. Even as human participants control the beams from terra firma they intersect and interact in the skies above Montreal, creating a kind of celestial encounter. You really have to experience it to understand it fully."

The enormous 10 000-watt spotlights can be seen and controlled at Le Parterre in the Quartier des Spectacles as part of La Triennale Quebecoise 2011 until November 6.
