This behind-the-scenes video was taken at the shooting of Dom Rebel’s Spring 2010 Campaign, shot by Leda & St-Jacques at the Eloi/Satellite studio in Montreal’s Mile End district.

Our good friend The Awesome Australian, Tim Kelly, has brought us into the eyes and mind of a Montreal local musician known simply as Beaver.  An enigmatic performer and story teller reminiscent of my imaginary 4 year old nephew,  Beaver has tapped into that smushy place in our chests called ‘the heart’ and convinced us that it is OK to believe in hipster fairy tales.

Sept 22, 2009 is the seventh edition of the “In town without my car” day in Montreal. Part of Downtown will be closed off for cars.
On the plus side, there is a printable coupon available for free transit rides, click here (link is to a .pdf file).

Montreal’s OldGoldBoutique.com has finally opened for online sales. It’s been a long wait but the shop is up and the selection is interesting. If you’ve ever been curious to understand the inspiration for this unique space these videos that were found on the site’s ‘video’ section might help, but I doubt it.

Check out the shop online or in person at:

This is simply one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Featuring Old Gold partner in crime Matt “Hatchmatik” Morein:

Montreal’s Music Guru, Kilroy, has released a long awaited version Nø3 of his infamous mixtape / playlist.

quoted from the Guru Energy blog:

“Check out this week’s work vibe – dubbed “DiscoConditioned Stell’R Rock Mix” – here. It’s an upbeat blend of everyone from M.I.A. to Metric to Iggy Pop plus some high-energy remixes of artists like U2 and Kings of Leon. The perfect pick-me-up for the post-lunch work slump. Well, the second most perfect pick-me-up…”

Nice new Video by TourismeMontreal / Side Lee about the Belgo Art complex:

There’s a new Bofinger restaurant opening on Parc Ave.
I asked @ChefDeck what he thinks about this and here’s what he said:
“The biggest thing to hit Montreal since sliced bread.”

Somehow I missed this one till now.  Marilis Cardinal, a.k.a. the sweetest person ever, mentioned me in a blog post on NightlifeMagazine.ca,

Montreal Fashion Week Diary Part I

“We end the evening with the Godmother of Quebec Fashion: Marie St-Pierre. The room is packed and yours truly has to stand. Everyone is taller then me, I’m tired and grumpy and about 5 thirteen year old girls with bad haircuts are sitting in the front row. Thankfully, David Majer of Live MTL takes pity on a poor short girl’s inability to see and shuffles me to the other side of his camera where I have a prime lookout spot onto the runway.”

A very nice girl named SaraSophie Drouin-Siebes has posted this video, it’s a short documentary / party video featuring Montreal local DJ Mary Hell, who’s life is a kind of docu-party video in itself. The cirlce is complete.  Check it out here:

La Fee Verte, Montreal’s newest lingerie manufacturer, is taking a young new approach to an old industry, the Shmata trade (aka. Fashion).  Adam Sakara, the company’s founder, wants to see women’s wear with fresh looks on “classic technical garments.”  

P.S. La Fee Verte translates to: The Green Fairy… It’s an absinth thing.

For a behind the scenes view of a stop motion promo that was done for the brand, check out the video below:
