Righteous Signage

Went for a stroll today after a delightful breakfast with home girl sally. I came across a bunch of street treats in the way of graffiti, signs, and righteous messages. Someone had been out their waving their flag and i have up most respect for that. No matter what the cause. If you feel strongly about something, write it on the walls, and stand by your opinion. its commendable.

Some of my discovers were sweet, some hilarious, others serious. All i ask is that you pay attention to the messages strangers post. as conditioned as we are to filter out the hundreds of messages we are bombarded with on a daily basis, some are more sincere than others. You never know where they will take you.

Last day in Montreal

So my last few days in Montreal were pretty eventful. I got to explore the French side of Montreal, a house/squat show at LBH, and walk the streets letting cool stuff seek me out and visa versa. Although my time here was short it was a delight to get some down time in a city that mixes a very European demeanor with Canadian twang. The food spots are incredible namely Aux vivres, which is out of control for brunch and its coconut bacon! yeah, nuts good!





In the UK we put our stairs inside, here second floor stairs are placed out side. This method of access has paved the way fr so many stunning buildings and apartments. This photo is not a rad apartment block, but was just a prompt to address it.




The squat house show was pretty awesome. Bands included Statues,Horses and Malcolm Bauld for a big dose of folk punk. It was a rad small show with feelings iv not felt since i was 15 and getting into punk rock. The whole DIY scene has totally escaped me over the year, so it was pretty nice to see people still putting on sneaky shows out of the lime light of major promoters.

So this is the bedroom of the friend i was Staying with in Montreal. A gentlemens shrine to the iconic Morrissey


Cute street art v's nasty stuff. I know what id choose.
