Osheaga 2019 Podcast – Friday Part 2

The Osheaga Arts & Music Festival is absolutely one of the biggest events of the summer in a city that is defined by having a million big events in the summer. And this year, it’s going to be even bigger. The last two editions of Osheaga took place on a temporary site that made the best of re-purposed sections of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve but 2019 will mark the return of the festival to the original site. By original site I of course mean a newly renovated site that boasts a capacity somewhere over 65,000 people.

So to celebrate Osheaga being even bigger than ever we are making our 9to5.cc podcast specials even bigger than ever. How much bigger? Twice as bigger. That’s right, instead of one episode a day, Sarah and I will be breaking down our picks for each day across two episodes. When are we starting? Right now.

Our second episode is dedicated to  some of our favorite picks with more of a electronic or hip-hop slant. Expect a new episode around the 15th and 30th of each month all summer long right up until the festival.

Enjoy the show!

Episode 1 (Friday Part 1) is here.

Helping You Vote For the Best of Montreal

BOM-2017-web-box-blueEvery year, we do a bit of campaigning for that “Best of Montreal” thing that do over at Cult MTL. The validation that comes from being voted as one of Montreal’s favorite anythings usually gives us the confidence boost necessary to do what we do for a little while longer.

Obviously we want you to vote for us in the appropriate categories (Best Podcast, Best Website, Best Artist, etc) but we also want to give some love to our friends.

In order for your votes to count, you need to fill out a minimum of 25 categories. So, if you’re not sure what to vote for, why not check out our list for some ideas? I mean, maybe you have your own favorite things but 25 categories is an awful lot and I think we can all agree that Starbucks doesn’t really need that recognition as “Best Coffee” in Montreal.

What are you waiting for? Vote now at Best of Montreal over at Cult MTL. Deadline is April 7th.

And, if you’re looking for how to vote to fill out your ballot, here’s how I voted:

4. Best Sports Personality / Meilleure vedette sportive

For some reason there isn’t a “Best Sports Team” or League or whatver category. So I voted for the entirey of Montreal Roller Derby’s New Skids on the Block as Best Sports Personality.

15. Best Radio Show / Meilleure émission de radio

We’ve got a lot of friends on the radio, but the fact that we had Danny Payne on the podcast gives him the vote (and that Heather B is no longer on the radio). Vote for The Pressure Drop on CJLO.

16. Best Radio Host / Meilleur animateur de radio

You know what? Even though she’s no longer on Montreal radio, she was for most of 2016. So give her the sendoff she deserves and vote Heather B for Best Radio Host of 2016.

22. Best Website / Meilleur site web

Duh, this one. 9to5.cc is the best DIY website in Montreal. We try to write comics, do podcasts and blog all without any sort of corporate shenanigans.

23. Best Twitter / Meilleur compte Twitter

Also us. @9to5cc on Twitter yo. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
