The 45th anniversary

For the very first time, the implicit 10-year rule was not respected . Like the other tributes from previous years, French and Quebec singers, without forgetting the members of the Starmania family cover some songs from the original album, with the first medley on television from the 2024 troop !!

Bruno Pelletier , Daniel Lavoie , Garou , Vincent Niclo, Michael Grégorio and Pierre Lapointe :

Flasks of oil are an essential old school dungeoneering tool, along with the 50' ropes and 10' poles. Light them and throw them at enemies, or pour them onto the ground to make a simple DIY trap, tossing a torch at the right moment. Fire is a great equalizer when you have 6 hp and you're facing dozens of organized enemies. (Roger Raupp from "Don't drink this cocktail -- throw it!" by Robert Plamondon, Dragon 40, August 1980)

The article refers to "molotov cocktails" throughout, but it seems like a different name would be used in a world with no historical Soviet Union. Also note the cleric with a cross on his tunic, a common motif in AD&D art.

Antoine Plamondon / "Sister Saint-Alphonse" / 1841 / National Gallery of Canada

they don’t know that the heads of major political parties in quebec have been throwing the term “wokisme” around in official press releases and statements…

The Spanish version of "Bohemienne," "La Canción de la Zingara," as performed specifically by Tahis Ciurana, is far and away the best of its renditions.

Virage à 180 degré !

Last week, I decided I was finally getting to listen québécois music, because im from here, and i was still stuck with my outdated idea that our music sucked (well i mean i still generally think that, but we do have a few good songs here and there, just like anywhere else :) ).

As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download

All 5 songs can also be downloaded together in a zip file from the link at the bottom

I wasnt originally gonna post only about women, but here, they're all women :D (J'avais aussi pas planifié de mettre 3/5 tounes de Plamondon, but here we are sljkdaksjhhd)

Céline Dion - Je danse dans ma tête

Cause I, too, am d-d-d-d-dancing in my head :3

Je danse dans ma tête was on Dion Chante Plamondon, from 1991

tw flashing/moving lights for this video

Luce Dufault - Quand on s'en va pour oublier

I listened to this album, recently, and I figured my mom probably listened to this album a lot, as I had forgotten about this until then. It also confirmed me I always liked dramatic music lol.

Quand on s'en va pour oublier was on Luce Dufault's eponymous album, released in 1996

Marie Carmen - Piaf chanterait du rock

This is a new discovery for me ! I didnt know Marie Carmen did rock before doing what she is known for, nowaday :) And, not gonna lie, she's probably right, it would make sense that Piaf would have turned to rock, had she been in the 80's rather than the 40's lol I also want to say that I always, always, always fucking LOVED Marie Carmen's voice (ironically this one song doesn't really show her iconic voice but oh well)

Piaf chanterait du rock is on the Dans la Peau album, from 1988-89 depending on the source... (song is from 86, fwiw)

(there also is a very bad quality video clip on yt , which is delightful, but yeaaah.....)

Marjo - Y'a des matins

The apple didn't fall too far from the tree and I inherited my mother's appreciation for Marjo/Corbeau :) I had like 5 songs i wanted to put here, but I chose this one cause it's stuck in my head lmao

Also appreciating how Marjo never tried to hide her québécois accent, too ♥

Y'a des matins was on the album Tant qu'il y aura des enfants, released in 1990

Nanette Workman - Ce soir on danse à Naziland

So i listened the original studio recording of Starmania for the first time, a couple days ago, and it struck me how much nothing changed. The first thing I noticed is how queer the story is ! It made me wonder how we regressed so much since 1978...

I also thought the subject matter of this song in particular was still very, very relevant. (also just to prove mariah carey isnt the only one with whistling notes lol (also also they cut it when it plays on the radio, here :( ))

Ce soir on danse à Naziland was on Starmania, in 1978. (discogs is wrong on this one... 79 that's when the show opened, not when this was recorded)

trigger warning : FLASHING LIGHTS for this one too *light flashing disco-ly*

i wanna point out that they censored the title, here, for the same reason i think it's very, very relevant...
