Danse la Poutine avec Omnikrom et TTC!

C'est dans un Metropolis bondé, chaud et survolté que j'ai assisté hier au concert de Omnikrom, TTC ainsi que Numéro#. Vraiment un bon show et je dois dire que les gars d'Omnikrom m'ont vraiment impressioné par leur flow qui coulait particulièrement bien. Le party était pogné d'aplomb dans le Métropolis et d'apres moi j'ai assité hier soir a LA performance des Francofolies 2007.

BKB'S PICK-Jazz Festival Special: Hank Mobley-Roll Call

Since my hometown's ( Montreal) International Jazz Festival kicked off it's festivities yesterday and is on til July 8, i decided to have an extra BKB pick this week. For all jazz fans and also for those who wants to discover an really underrated album, i propose you to look for Hank Mobley's Roll Call. From the moment Art Blakey's drums get it on on the very first track, Mobley & Co. never look back. This album's energy and power is off the roof and Freddie Hubbard's trumpet is making a superb combo along with Mobley's sax. Truly a Bop masterpiece who should be more well known by jazz and music fans.

BKB'S PICK V: The Rolling Stones' Rock N' Roll Circus

To my opinion, the best live performance of the Stones ever. This TV special shot in December 1968, was designed like a super variety show a la Ed Sullivan. Guest stars included The Who, Taj Mahal, Jethro Tull, Marianne Faithfull even John Lennon dropped by. Lennon along with the Dirty Mac (a Supergroup composed of Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix's drummer Mitch Mitchell) is truly one of the finest rock performance. Too bad Yoko Ono showed up at the end and annoyes everybody with her unbelievably obnoxious voice. Mick and Co. are also in super form, turning up five songs in electrfying fashion. Really a pure Gem that must be seen.

I'M NOT A PLASTIC BAG!

I was one of the 200 hopefuls to get Anya Hindmarch's new very trendy bag. I had to wait in line for 2 hours to get it for my love @ Holt Renfrew in Montreal. Only 200 of them were available at HR -Montreal and 2,000 total in Canada at other Holt stores. I wonder how much it will fetch on eBay...

The Return of John McClane in LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD

The fourth installment of Die Hard, the movie that made Bruce Willis a superstar and to my view is the greatest action flick of all time, is coming to theaters June 27. Willis's character, witty badass NYC cop John McClane is also arguably one the best film hero of all time. ( Yippeekayay, motherfucker!!!). 20th Century Fox hope it will be a big summer blockbuster, but i think it's gonna be tough to beat Michael Bay's Transformers. We'll see what movie will come on top. Check out the kick ass website:

BKB'S PICK IV: Alex Rodriguez

The New York Yankees third baseman is litterally tearing up the American League since the start of the 2007 season. He has a .315 batting average with 27 HR and 73 RBI's, both Major League best. He's been hitting .394 with 8 dingers and 21 runs batted in in his last 10 games. He helped the Bronx Bombers win 11 of their last 12 games and they are now getting back in the AL East division race vs. the Boston Red Sox
