As I’m standing waiting for the bouncer of the Cabaret Juste pour rire, to find my name on the guest list (with the typical, what kind of name is that, implying that my name looks retarded, which I know). A situation between said bouncer and one of the night’s performers occurred which I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at:

Performer: Hey I just want to add a name on the guest list.

Bouncer: Who the f**k are you?

P: I’m the guitarist from Pawa up First.

I am possibly the biggest Mark Ronson fan at CJLO, in Montreal and maybe in Quebec.  I admire his production, his albums and his own radio show has been influential on me this year.  His playlists are practically musical treasure maps.  One night while listening to his show, he mentioned a group and played one of their tracks.  Being a disciple, I paid attention to the group name and the track.  Months later, the "Girls & Weather" arrived at the station and it is fitting that I get to review The Rumble Strips' debut CD.

As I walked into the Cabaret du Musée on Monday, December 8 to see the Mercury Rev, I wondered to myself, "I wonder how they are going to pull off "The Dark is Rising?" This fan favourite track is representative of the band's sound: dramatic, over-the-top orchestration with dynamics that keep the listener at the song's mercy. I am pleased to report that the show did not fall short of the standard set by the band's recordings.
