UNLOCKED | Rose LeMay: Stand with Indigenous women on May 5 hilltimes.com/?p=502059

Situated in the eastern part of the Nile delta, lies the city of Zagazig, Egypt. And there you can find this trio of teens making punk rock (and maybe the only band in that town). Loving Vemto’s rooftop performances.

Only in Montreal do they make a Stanley Cup replica out of city construction cones 😂🔥

Le calme avant la tempête The calm before the storm #GoHabsGo

Love this band. Flashback to 2010 performance of the haunting beauty of “Islands” from the xx. #flashbackfriday

13 years ago, the Rana Plaza tragedy in Bangladesh killed more than 1,100 people - mostly women - and injured 2,500 others. Many of the cause of the disaster continues to affect garment workers today. The Rana plaza tragedy must not happen again. Companies and suppliers must be held accountable for human rights abuses. Workers must have the right to freedom of association. Workers’ rights are human rights.

‘Some Might Say’, the band’s first UK chart topping single, was released #OnThisDay in 1995!

50 YEARS OF ‘RAMONES’ Released 50 years ago today, the ‘Ramones’ debut album defined a new genre and remains a staple in Rock ‘n’ Roll history. Throw it on today and turn it up loud in celebration. ramones.lnk.to/R40DE

@JesseCDNMitche1 @Olliemac Love that

It was like someone threw a brick through the front window of rock n’ roll.  Imagine hearing this album for the first time. The Ramones debut record came out 50 year ago today. Side 1 - Track 1 : Blitzkrieg Bop

@PlannerSean Killer show.

@strombo My ears are still ringing from seeing in 94 at The Phoenix.

@AZadarski Probably launched a 1000 bands

@strombo The Ramones never made it into my music rotation (mea culpa), but I can definitely hear their influence on bands that I listened to the 90's like Bad Religion, Pennywise, and even Nirvana.

At their core, Ramones were deep fans of music. From the Rolling Stones to The Beatles, The Doors, The Who, The Stooges, the New York Dolls, The Ronettes, Television, Jimi Hendrix, to the MC5 and more. The guys wanted to make music and be around music as much as possible.

@rickramdeen So many great songs.

@strombo This is a perfect record. Nothing could be added or taken away to make it better. Desert island record, no skips, one of my all-time Top 10.

In 1989, this demon of an album dropped. Pixies - Doolittle.

@WorksDoug Hello from Toronto.

@strombo Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

This was their first US tv appearance on a show called Night Music out of NYC. Exec produced by Lorne Michaels and created and hosted by David Sanborn.

@Montreal_Expos 😂❤️💙

We have sent a notice to cease & desist to the Milwaukee Brewers. Having rain fall inside a stadium with a closed retractable roof is the intellectual property of the Montreal Expos.
