Phoenix + Vancouver = <3 (that’s a heart for those of you who don’t speak emoticon)

My very favourite band in the whole wide world played the Orpheum as part of the Cultural Olympiad on Friday. And I’d like to think it was their most memorable show.

Not because I was there sending them creepy superfan vibes, but because during the encore some 200 people stormed the stage, dancing and singing while the [...]

How old fashioned

Going to the store and buying a CD — I don’t even remember the last time I did that (I’m an iTunes and eMusic kind of gal).

But I couldn’t find a site that would let me download Neon Indian’s Psychic Chasms {legally} so I decided to do things the old-school way and marched my little [...]

Forget the best and worst of 2009

I present to you the Anthology’s top ten most ridiculous moments of 2009. Oh what a year it was.
10. Most ridiculous 12 seconds of fame — Dancing on stage. On national television. Thank you, MTV Canada.

9. Most ridiculous “before” shot – the mumu that one Anthology reader compared to a hospital gown.

8. Most ridiculous poorly behaved [...]

“Hello, my name is MC. I am the Anthology’s husband.”

A guest post by my husband.
A few months ago I had a great idea.  I would write a “guest post” (as I understand these things are known in the blogosphere) about certain songs that I enjoy.  And this guest post would not be in the form of some cliche “top ten songs of 2009″ thing, [...]

Take it away, Phoenix

I cannot even imagine how I would react if I saw one of Phoenix’s impromtu Take Away concerts in Paris. I would probably embarrass myself, my family and my country. Because I am  really, really, really, really, really, really, really obsessed with them.

Thankfully there are clips of these concerts a l’emporter on my new favourite site La Blogoteque. Thank you Celeste for sending it my way!

WZRDZ > NKOTB

I will not be wearing this to the WZRDZ show on Friday at the Astoria.

Because it would be sacrilege to wear the t-shirt of one of my favourite boybands (the New Kids) to the show of my other favourite boyband (the WZRDZ).

(Are the WZRDZ going to put a curse on me for calling them a [...]

I feel like all my musical prayers have been answered

I’ve been waiting a long, long, long, long, la-la-la-la-la long time for this. Phoenix is playing the Orpheum on January 22nd! And I have des billets!

As the days get darker

I can’t help but look forward to the holiday parties. The lights, the dresses, the out-of-town friends. And of course, Mariah Carey “All I Want for Christmas” on repeat.

Admit it: you love that song as much as I do, don’t you?

The Embassy

Is happy road-trippin’ music. Plus, they’re Swedish. And because I have a thing for Swedish pop, I love them. Listen to them here.
