Farewell Winter
"今年の冬から、さよなら。Farewell, Winter" is a winter survival mix curated by Saturn De Los Angeles, CJLO News team member and host of Shibuya Crossing (Wednesdays 2 PM). "A cornucopia of emotions. Both good, bad, euphoric, anger, disappointment, joy, anticipation and lots of deep meditation."
Since words nor hand-drawn illustrations cannot suffice, this mix is in a way a personal (and totally watered down) window of how I not only feel about this year's roller coaster of a Winter season, but how this time of year has become a turning point in my own personal journey - just a few months long after I had just set foot in Japan, and at a moment's notice, back home where I am.
Goes to show how fragile life can be and how fragile we can all be emotionally with a simple drop of a snowflake, or a million of those at the very least.
This is my first time making a mix tape since I was a kid. Regardless of the language this is in, I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I had put it together.
お楽しみ下さい。(Please enjoy!)

Hellenica - Blood Moon Wolf Head
The release of Blood Moon Wolf Head by Jim Demos, under his Hellenica moniker, coincided with el Dia de los Muertos - the day of the dead. According to Demos, the album is meant as an offering to the deceased. A preliminary reading about this holiday finds that it's meant to allow friends and family to congregate together, to remember those who have died, and to offer the deceased support through their spiritual journey back to earth. What kind of spiritual support to the dead is this album, an album described by Demos as the celebration of improvisation and composition? Like the mixing of these two musical worlds, perhaps Demos is offering the view that there is interconnectedness between the earthly and spiritual worlds; a oneness with a community that doesn't end at death.
"Burning of the Effigies" starts the whole thing off with a spaghetti-western vibe. The looped plucking of several grungy guitar notes is accompanied by slide guitar and chanting vocals. This track seems to act as a kind of portal to the world in which Demos wants to explore. The whole effect is both eerie and hypnotic. The isolated sounds of "Infraction" follow. The track offers a nice juxtaposed soundscape highlighting the acoustic guitar in this sparse world, culminating with frantic guitar work and the sounds of fireworks. Clearly, the celebration continues.
"Photogenesis" builds slowly with acoustic guitar loops, and other wonderfully subtle sounds littering about, before blasts of synth help to awaken you from the trance the album has put you under. The closing track, "Frozen Landscapes", is an optimistic ending to this journey for the dead.
The album nicely mixes a variety of elements and flavours. Demos admits as much, stating that the album intermingles field recordings, synths and loops. The sonic atmosphere creates a dreamlike feel throughout the album. Listening to Blood Moon Wolf Head requires patience. The world is slow and sparse and has more in common with sound art than pop music, but it is a journey worth taking.

We Just Wanna Have Some Fun, Down at the Rock and Roll Club
After breaking down on the highway coming back from Rochester, NY, only to be brought to the nearest Tim Horton's by the CAA tow-truck driver - with his family following in the cruiser of a Good Samaritan Sûreté du Québec officer - Prince Palu was convinced it was fate's way of having some fun in granting him a brand new Toyota Camry. It wasn't. $430 and a new alternator later, Palu is back home and ready to tell you about some great live music options this weekend.

It is once again the first Thursday of the month, so that means a new artist-in-residency for the on-going Divan Orange Camp 6 à 8 series at Le Divan Orange (4234 St-Laurent). This month features One-Man-Band Jan Dutler (Harmonica, Ukulele, Trombone, Suitcase-Drum, BeatBox, and Vocals) from Switzerland who has spent the past three years travelling the world, soaking up different styles of music, and blending them into a unique mix of multilingual (German, English, Spanish, Russian and Italian) blues-jazz-folk hybrid. With $5 pints and free admission, once again this is a great way to start your weekend a little early.
Up the road at La Sala Rossa (4848 St-Laurent), Blue Skies Turn Black present a night of Alt.country bliss with a couple of Toronto-based trios, Elliot Brood, and The Wilderness of Manitoba. $18 at the door, show starts at 9:00.
Across the street at Casa del Popolo (4873 St-Laurent), Under the Snow Festival kicks off its 11th edition with a double bill featuring the post-rock psychedelic of Carnior and the slowcore indie rock of Dye By The Sword.

Touring behind their brand new album, Shadow of the Sun, San Francisco's Moon Duo return to Montreal at Bar Le "Ritz" P.D.B. (179 Jean Talon W.) for a night of swirling psychedelia and musical majik. They will be joined by a couple of Montreal bands, the indie-pop danceable goodness of Moss Lime and the shoegaze ambient-soul of Pang Attack.
Friday also marks the return of one of Montreal's prodigal sons, Mark Sultan, also known as the one-man-band extraordinaire BBQ. In a reunion of sorts, joining BBQ in this triple bill at Divan Orange will be two of his former Les Sexareenos band mates, Roy Vucino and Annie Laurin, and their respective new bands, Birds of Paradise and Lunar Exile. With this much local garage-rock royalty, you'd be wise to grab a ticket before heading over to find it sold out.
Celebrating its 15th year, Art Matters is throwing their opening night party up at Theatre Plaza (6505 St-Hubert) with the avant-garde jazz of Saxsyndrum, garage-punk noise of the Famines, space-age hip hop of Rollie, and the experimental pop of Pascale Project (formerly known as Mathematique). First 100 people get in for $5, $10 for everyone after that. Check out the rest of the Art Matters events here.

One of Canada's greatest live bands, The Golden Dogs, will be returning to Montreal on Saturday with their fuzzy power pop rock 'n' roll and shaking it all over the stage at Divan Orange. With an all-new line up, they released their latest album, 3 ½, last month and have been getting raves reviews. If that wasn't enough for ya, the addition of Nancy Pants, Montreal's pre-eminent purveyors of fun, puts this show into the realm that would make the late, great Billy Red Lyons say, "Dontchadaremissit!"
