Musique pour Montreal

Just a quick note, and something I forgot to mention yesterday.

Music is a fairly big part of my life - especially on vacations, it's not uncommon for me to be wearing headphones for hours at a time.

As I've probably mentioned here before, my tastes (save the New Pornographers and a few other exceptions) generally skew towards classic rock. That stuff doesn't fly in Montreal.

Montreal is a city where things are happening - the languages are varied, the girls are cute, and EVERYBODY is ahead of the trendiness curve. Any music that 'fits' with the city has to be of the same variety - their weird fascination for U2 notwithstanding.

Queen didn't work, David Bowie didn't either.. The New Pornographers did. So did The Smiths, although I can't say I liked them. Also Freezepop and Dave Matthews Band. And, surprisingly, The Beatles.

I have nothing else to say here.
