Only a few songs, picked rather randomly; about half my time block was taken up with chatting to Doris's friend Megan about her experience in Canada (she's from Taipei and has been living in Toronto since last summer).

I want to do an ep on catwalk music, since I'll be plugging Take Off Your Clothes! Montreal this week or the next (the event is on the 29th and somehow T and I are emceeing XD;). Alternately, there is HOCKEY! NOW SRS BZNS FOR REALSIE REALS!!1! but I dunno what music would convey that. That hasn't been blasting from all radio stations for the past two weeks anyway. XD;;

What did she have to say about Canada? My brother just ended an apartment hunt in Toronto, and he was put out by all the "quiet residential neighborhoods" that stretch the city out, because he says this means that if you aren't within a few blocks of a subway or trolley station, you might as well be in the middle of nowhere. I told him he was spoiled, coming from Montreal.

Also, 750words.com is a great, great thing.

She talked about how Montreal seems more artsy and concert-going than Toronto, which is more of a generic North American city - but that she liked how you see a lot of differently-ethnic faces on the streets. Commonly received truths, but I guess truths nonetheless. XD Said a few words about the Ottawa tulip festival as well, and the Taipei film festival when I asked her about cultural events there.
