Peak MTL is a casse croute run by a Greek man & his Queb wife. Their twin sons run the fryer and no one speaks the same language but they all understand each other. Dad speaks Greek to the kids who answer in English and communicate with their mom & customers in French. Perfect.

I know this is very specific to myself and the people who are in my industry but having less university kids here is bad. This will bring less university kids here. Ask any vintage store, record shop, hair salon, restaurant, bar, venue etc etc The last few months have been rough.

15-20 years ago Montreal was wild. Everyone I knew had a wad of cash in one pocket, a pile of drugs in the other and rent was a nickel and a song. My ex and I split a 4 1/2 for 650$ a block from Lionel Groulx. I was able to be on tour for 120 days a year and more than get by.
Realizing I am old enough to remember paying $525 for rent is really depressing...it's mostly depressing because young folks do not have access to this kind of rent price really anywhere now and that is so incredibly shitty on so many levels for so many reasons.

Every single venue from Casa to Club Soda to The Ritz to The Corona to Divan Orange to l’Escogriffe to the Diving Bell has this exact same story to tell. I hope the city starts to take notice.
Here we go again. The City is harassing a vital indie music venue, this time
@TurboHaus
, threatening them with up to $12,000 fine due to one complaint about noise. From a nearby bldg built in last 2 years! Every small venue in town deals with this.

Being told I’m not québécois because I speak English is always funny to me. I was born here, pay my taxes, never lived anywhere else, own two businesses here that also pay taxes. I get it, you’d rather this place be in Toronto. I mean, that can be arranged. Jesus Murphy.

One time when I blacked out in a bed at a party, I woke up to some woman having sex with me, blacked out again and came too and she was still going. woke up a third time and I was alone. There are still people who think that’s a cool story.

Local gigs only. Don't give Ticketmaster money. You don't need to watch these bloated old men for 600$ on the reseller market. Instead, watch some kid scream their head off in a small room for less than the price of a big mac trio and change your life.

Reviving Musique Plue as a provincially funded broadcaster would do more to spread Quebec culture than whatever the OQLF is doing. As a born and raised anglo Montrealer, that was the really only French media I took in as a kid on my own.

For example, the indie boom and the other weird shit of the early 2000’s doesn’t happen without the rent being what it was. Having time to create and make things happen is impossible if you need two jobs to pay bills. venues closing is bad but that’s not why culture is suffering.

Because of the closures and the pandemic, people who have just turned 18 may not know, but it's illegal, like literally against the law, to bring your booze into a bar. The correct response when you're caught is “shit, my bad” and dumping it, not “what are you gonna do about it.”
