There was a time, the decade or so I lived in Chicago, where I was covering live music. For a good year it seemed I was solely finding myself mesmerized by the sound coming out of Montreal. I could blame this on my Leonard Cohen obsession, or my two trips up there that ingratiated me to the scene and venues, who knows? Anyhow, all that to say, I love to see a few nods to their ongoing talents in this post. I'm a brand new subscriber, but I've missed the community surrounding the scene up there. So, thanks. As soon as I can pay down my credit card, I'll subscribe in earnest. In the meantime, thank you for sharing your rumination for we, the underfunded.

Besides my request for merch (take my money!), I would like to humbly submit a newsletter enhancement request.
Could you consider including the genre of the album you are reviewing at the top level of the review?
Something like what Rosy Overdrive does (thanks for turning me onto that blog, too):
No Joy, Bugland
Genre: Shoegaze, experimental rock, dream pop, electronica
Thanks!
MERCH PLEASE!
Good call on Seth Beck! Loving that album.
