Guilty pleasure

...I admitted to 2 of my friends (not at the same time) that I like 'Sexy Back' by Justin Timberlake. Guess what? They both admitted that they like Justin!! And these 2 friends are really not into dance music so I had no clue. Of course, they never mentionned that fact to me before I confessed...Now, should I say who they are? :-P

Professional post

I'm working as a project manager at Diesel and two of my projects have been launched recently so it's time for a little self promotion!

Best place to work (client: MGM Grand Hotel & Casino): a microsite to describe, in an amusing way, all the benefits you get when you work for MGM Grand. MGM Grand (Las Vegas) won the Best place to work in South Nevada 2 years in a row. Congrats!

Brits Wanted (client: Tourisme Montréal): a microsite to promote Montréal among potential British tourists. The site is a local's guide to Montréal where 9 themes (nightlife, festivals, etc.) are introduced.

Another Danish week end coming up

A friend of mine informed me that Anders Trentemøller, a Danish DJ (from Copenhagen?), is spinning in Montréal this Friday. He has a new album out (on PokerFlat) and from what she read so far, it's supposed to be very good.

Note: this dear friend of mine already used the famous pick up line in the past 'Would you like to come at my place to listen to my PokerFlat Records?'. Did it work? Oh yes!

As I wrote already, I'm going to see Lars von Trier latest movie Saturday night so it will be a Danish week end once again!

Also, thanks to Jeppe for his insights on the Danish film culture! I saw many movies from LVT so I'm prepared for something...special. In fact, most Danish movies, not only LVT ones, are quite ...special. That's why I like them.

Yet another Swedish band

I found out about Melody Club about 2 years ago. If you're craving for the return of the keyboards, 80's style, check them out on My Space. Electric, currently on My Space, is a good example of what you can expect...They gotta come to Mtl too!

To follow up on my Danish week end, 'After the Wedding' was excellent! The main actors are great and the story is very touching. Oh and I got my tickets for the newest (a comedy!) by Lars von Trier. Looking forward to that.

The Sounds

I discovered a new Swedish band called The Sounds. I'd say it's a mix of '80s new wave with a punk edge...The singer (Maja) is quite the rock'n'roll girl! I'd LOVE to see them live!!! Let's hope they'll stop by Mtl soon! Meanwhile, I'll buy their last album.

Danish week end

Yesterday, I went to The Figurines concert at the Main Hall with the Scandinavian groupie crew (Véronique, Rikke, Karina and Isabelle). I really enjoyed the show!
The band sounds great and the singer's voice is very interesting.
Oh and the singer was as handsome as a Dane can be...which is always a nice thing ;-)

Tonight, I'm going to see a Danish movie by Susanne Bier called 'After the Wedding'. It's part of the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma program. Lars von Trier's 'Boss of it all' is also showing in a couple of days so I'll try to see it as well if there are still tickets available.
