One of the websites I’ve been most thankful finding for in the past few weeks is justconcerts.com. The man behind the smart URL is the radiostation CBC Radio 3, which focusses on indie bands, both established and new, from Canada. I’ve already discovered more than one interesting band in their new-and-unsigned-bands podcasts. Not only that, the lists of live concerts and sessions on various locations over the country include performances by Feist, Apostle of Hustle, Death Cab For Cutie, Interpol, Do Make Say Think, Four Tet… – and that’s only the section from A-F. A live version of Mogwai’s “You Don’t Know Jesus” gave me the chills today. Justconcerts.com seems an absurdly complete catalogue of the temporary Canadian indie scene and proves that cities like Montréal and Toronto are true talent breeding grounds. But we knew that already. As Malajube sang:

Montréal es tellement froid / … / J’m'inspire du pire / Pour m’enrichir / … / Tu gardes le rythme tu m’mets en transe.
