My friend Josh — musician, artist, and cook at Griffintown Cafe — took over cooking duties alongside one of his colleagues at this summer’s edition of Cool Fest. (I chefed the last two). He did such a spectacular job. My favorite dish was dessert, a simple panna cotta made with coconut milk and spiked with orange blossom water and rose water. It was deceptively simple — a soft, voluptuous pudding with the most subtle of floral aromas. Lovely!

Just wanted to take a quick break from the Jamaica photo bonanza to share the full schedule of my CKUT Montreal Sessions residency with you! It’s basically going to be the dopest month ever, and I’m so stoked I managed to book so many talented and extraordinary artists. Here we go:
November 1: Blake Hargreaves (Dreamcatcher, Fluorescent Friends, Thames, Cousins of Reggae) on Cool Fest XI
November 8: (Pictured above) Musician Roger Tellier-Craig (Le Révélateur, Panorama Patchwork) and filmmaker Sabrina Ratté on their inspirations, collaborations, and future projects
November 15: An interview with Kranky artists Steve Hauschildt (Gneiss Things, Emeralds) and Tim Hecker
November 22: Francesco De Gallo (Hobo Cult) on the art of running a label; musicians and artists Katherine Kline and Joshua Bastien (The You Me Color Band) on sound collages, art, noise, and Montreal
November 29: Closing party with my very favorite DJs in Montreal: Raf Katigbak, Mark Slutsky, and Lynne Trep!
Alright!! So it’s going to be an intense month for sure, but already it’s been so fun and rewarding. Mega thanks to CKUT for inviting me to curate this month’s Montreal Sessions, and please tune in every Tuesday from 3-5pm! You can also listen to the show archived here.
