No Aloha Live @ CJLO

September 19 2015 // Sessions

No Aloha is four chill dudes from Montreal who write sick pop tunes influenced by garage rock and psych. They played a couple of shows at this years Pop Montreal, so we decided to invite them by for our Pop Montreal sessions series. These tracks are a good ol' gritty time. They go down smooth, like a 6 pack of cheap beer on a hot sunny day.

POP Montreal 2015: Just Say Yes!

September 15 2015 // Sue Snyder // Magazine // Features

Sue from the 'Cult of Yes' picks her POP favourites

Look, we can fight about it if you want. Sure, classes have begun and we'll soon be drowning in pumpkin spice everything, but I say summer's not over until POP Montreal is over. Stamped it, no erasies. POP is a five-day party featuring hundreds of your favourite bands (and new favourite bands) plus symposia, visual art, film, crafts galore at Puces POP and so much more. So gather 'round, let's plan out our last hurrah before the summer officially slips away, shall we?

Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet

September 10 2015 // Remi Caron-Liss // Film

Screenplay by Roger Allers, based on the novel by Kahlil Gibran

'Love and Mercy' captures the musical talent of Brian Wilson

September 8 2015 // Remi Caron-Liss // Film

Directed by Bill Pohlad

There is no doubt that Brian Wilson is both extremely talented and an individual who is hurting deep down, as seen in Bill Pohlad's new film, Love & Mercy. The film succeeds at telling Brian Wilson's story, but at times the editing is very choppy. Paul Dano is convincing as a young Brain Wilson, however there are some issues with seeing John Cusack as a much older Brian Wilson. The songs are all there as they go through the surfer-boys phase, right up too Brain Wilson's Smile. Yes, Love & Mercy captures the musical talent of Brian Wilson and his personal issues, however it lacks the social background of the era.

Inside Out

September 3 2015 // Remi Caron-Liss // Film

Let me cut to the chase and just post my first initial reactions to Disney Pixar's new film Inside Out: Man tears flowed out of me while I reminisced on childhood days. Inside Out is the best film I have seen so far this year, and it is possibly one of the best animated features I have seen in a while. It finds the long lost spirit and heart of Pixar.
