émission du 2 octobre 2008

Un des avantages de Pop Montréal : le festival est prétexte à préparer annuellement une émission spécial-Pop-Montréal-qui-tue, laquelle permet de faire jouer en ondes les groupes que l'équipe de Pop a déniché avant nous et qu'on aime déjà, de même que les groupes que l'équipe de Pop a réussi à attirer à Montréal et qu'on aime depuis longtemps.

Un des désavantages de Pop Montréal : on est tellement occupé à courir événements et concerts qu'on se retrouve, à la dernière minute, dépourvu de temps pour animer le spécial-Pop-Montréal-qui-tue préparé avec enthousiasme pour l'occasion.

La solution : fouiller dans les archives et ressortir une émission qui date (celle du 21 février 2008, choisie au hasard, le cas échéant), question de s'offrir un moment nostalgique (ce qui est finalement un mal pour un bien).

Le bémol : le spécial-Pop-Montréal-qui-tue doit en conséquence être reporté d'une semaine et rebaptisé retour-qui-tue-sur-Pop-Montréal.

Voilà pourquoi la vie est compliquée.
