It should come as no surprise that I love record fairs and conventions.
The excitement of finding records long sought-after or discovering that could end up being precious to my person are sensations I revel in.
The Puces Pop Record Fair is always a source of wonder, delight and music for me. Crate-diggers, music connoisseurs and collectors, record store owners, various vendors and passersby alike congregate every year for Pop Montreal weekend.
I have no doubt this year will be just as good to me especially since I have another DJ set on September 17 from 11:00am to noon EST at 3450 Saint-Urbain in Montréal.
Music in most of its various formats, LPs, CDs and audio cassettes are sold, bought and celebrated.
Truth be told, I look forward to it most at Pop Montreal time. Whatever showcases or performances I catch can be either secondary or an afterthought.
During Puces Pop Record Fair weekend last year, I decided to play vintage 1960s & 1970s rock, soul, jazz, funk and reggae in honor of the crate-digging craziness.
A good number of records played that weekend were mostly likely bought at Puces Pop Record Fair from years past.
It is my way of giving back to the cultural institution and festival that is Pop Montreal.
When I think back to last year's Puces POP Record Fair, I have fond memories of that weekend. I found some interesting records and didn't go too far over-budget. I also spun what I consider to be my best DJ set of my years at the Fair.
Thanks to the organizers and vendors for the great time at Puces Pop.
