OKAY, so making music and reading recommendations for people is pretty difficult. Everyone has their favorite artist and their least favorite artist, right? And, most importantly, everyone thinks their taste in music is the absolute best. So, to avoid any major cyber conflicts - I kept my music and reading recommendations with the theme of this blog - our great city of Montreal - to ensure that there will always be that element of "ah, these people know my city!" when you're reading or listening, adding at least some sense of appreciation. Besides, what provides a better backdrop to the city, than the city artists themselves? Try out this music blog based out of Montreal, and this everything-and-more online magazine (created by Montrealers!) to keep yourself sufficiently entertained! If you see or hear something you really, really love, try out this bookstore or this record store to get your hard copies. Click on the photos for a little extra somethin-somethin about each artist.
