What a great time I had at Pop Montreal over the past few days. The camaraderie, the mind-blowing music and art--just amazing! And you'll hear all about it on tomorrow's show.
On today's show, I will discuss my first 36 hours or so in Montreal, which were kinda harrowing and disorienting due to my own personal exhaustion and recording equipment failure. And that my friends, is what you're gonna hear about today. Grab a tub of popcorn and some Kleenex, and cuddle close to a radio speaker, as Vish discusses some early Pop Montreal highlights and also whines about being at a fantastically ambitious music festival in one of the greatest cities in the world. Where I think a homeless man may have propositioned me.
Sorry to those of you who pitched Q & Hopefully A ideas to me last week. When my machine died, so to did the premise of this show. Still, if you could ask an independent music-type person one question, who and what would it be? Please tell me and I'll (hopefully) ask them for you very soon.
