  2. Vulgaires Machins – Compter les corps (2006, Canada)

    Our next spotlight is on number 1110 on The List, submitted by @Yuki.

    With this moody af album cover and a title that translates to “Counting The Bodies”, if you don’t already know this Québécois band, you will likely be surprised when hitting play. Essentially, think Blink 182 but if they were way more mature, had dark socially conscious lyrics, and, you know, sang in French.

    Formed in 1995, the Vulgaires Machins album we look at here is the punk rock quartet’s 5th studio LP, with a lineup of Guillaume Beauregard (vocals, guitar), Marie-Eve Roy (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Maxime Beauregard (bass) and Patrick Landry (drums). My high school French has sadly disintegrated nearly completely, but I believe the lyrics on this one touch on topics such as pollution, drug decriminalization, mental health, societal collapse, TV addiction (reminder this was released 20 years ago), religion, and fake punks.

    Though the person behind the drum kit has since switched to Pat Sayers, Vulgaires Machins is still going strong – and still sounding great! The band put out their 10th album, Contempler l’abîme, at the end of 2025, and, following a just-completed mini tour in France, will be touring their home province of Québec this March and April. Also, keep an eye out for an upcoming documentary on the history of Vulgaires Machins and their impact on the Québec music scene. The film was successfully crowdfunded back in 2024 and is expected to be released late this year or early 2027.

    Btw, keeners may have noticed the number of this album is quite a bit higher than we’ve seen in previous spotlights, and maybe don’t remember seeing this album on The List before. We just recently added about 160(!) albums to The List, around 30 of which are from Québécois artists such as this one. Thanks to Yuki for recognizing that gap we had regarding Francophone albums, I’m looking forward to spotlighting these all!

  6. Bienvenue sur gauche.quebec

    Ici, je veux parler d’actualité et de technologies avec une grille de lecture progressiste, québécoise et profondément humaine.

    Ma boussole est simple: justice sociale, dignité humaine, égalité/équité, solidarité, droits de la personne, droits des travailleurs, diversité, droits LGBTQI2S+, démocratie, et protection de l’environnement.

    Pourquoi gauche.quebec ?

    On vit une époque où le courant de la droite gagne du terrain partout dans le monde… et le Québec n’y échappe pas.

    Dans ce contexte, l’actualité est trop souvent transformée en spectacle, on réduit les enjeux sociaux à des slogans, on caricature les idées progressistes, et on ridiculise, piétine et diabolise ce qui touche à la justice sociale, aux droits humains, ou à l’égalité.

    Résultat: le débat public s’appauvrit, la nuance disparaît, et l’humain passe après le profit et le pouvoir.

    Avec gauche.quebec, je veux apporter ma petite contribution, modeste, mais sincère, aux discours de la gauche. Pas pour “avoir raison à tout prix”, mais pour comprendre ensemble, nommer les choses, et défendre une vision du monde qui peut être plus juste pour tous, plus humain.

    Je rêve d’un monde où chaque être humain, quel qu’il soit, est respecté, non jugé et traité avec dignité, dans sa différence et son unicité.

    Je rêve aussi d’un Québec inclusif: un Québec où les droits de la personne et des travailleurs sont priorisés, où la démocratie est vivante, où la solidarité n’est pas un mot creux, et où les valeurs progressistes restent pragmatiques, parce que l’espoir, ça se bâtit dans le réel.

    Et la techno là-dedans?

    Je vais aussi parler de technologie, parce que, premièrement, ça me passionne… et deuxièmement, parce que la techno c’est aussi politique et peut avoir de sérieuses conséquences néfastes sur les êtres humains.

    Vie privée, données personnelles, surveillance, algorithmes, IA, désinformation, plateformes, dépendance aux GAFAM. Tout ça influence nos libertés, nos choix, et même notre capacité à débattre calmement ensemble.

    On peut aimer l’innovation sans avaler le marketing.
    On peut s’émerveiller devant le progrès sans renier qui on est.

    On peut faire des choix plus éthiques, plus cohérents, plus libres… et surtout, plus alignés avec nos valeurs.

    Ici, je vais donc tenter de…
    • analyser l’actualité avec une boussole “virée à gauche”: dignité humaine, droits humains, égalité/équité, diversité, démocratie;
    • parler techno en mode citoyen: open source, vie privée, souveraineté numérique, pouvoir des plateformes.

    Les commentaires?

    Tu veux débattre? Parfait j’adore ça! Les échanges respectueux sont les bienvenus, même quand on n’est pas d’accord.

    Tu veux du mépris, du dénigrement ou de la méchanceté visant des êtres humains?
    Tu t’es trompé de porte. Merci de poursuivre ton chemin.

  7. Musical Interlude; I adore the Quebecois folk band Genticorum, and here's a lovely track from their most recent album.

    "Fortcalquier," performed by Genticorum.

  8. @dlupham
    You said: "What is so different about the Taiwanese dialect of Hokkien that it needs a different name?" I gave you direct answers with the examples of #Québecois (which uses a different name from #French 🇫🇷) and #Taiwanese 🇳🇫 which contains many words not used in #Hokkien 🇨🇳 (Does #Cockney deserve its own name?), and you're still not satisified.

    J'aime que les #Québécois parlent français plutôt que de dénaturer notre langue : un vrai pays

  10. Filles du roi: the Founding Mothers of New France via STOR Daily

    This was an interesting read for me as I have Quebçois ancestors on my mother’s side. The family name then was Therrian (worker of the land) and when they moved to upstate New York, possibly due to expulsion by the British, like the Acadians, they anglicized the name to Farmer. I have one ancestor I can trace to the mid 1700’s. Perhaps my Quebeçois family found it’s beginning in the Filles du roi. More resarch is now required. – Douglas

    On September 22, 1663, thirty-six young women arrived in a French colony on the shores of the St. Lawrence River in a region that we now call eastern Canada. While the men of the colony greeted them eagerly, the women were whisked away by an order of nuns already living in the area.

  11. 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🎶 What place for French-speaking music in the streaming era?

    Do the recommendation algorithms of streaming platforms treat #French-speaking music differently? Is there an algorithmic bias against French-speaking, French or #Quebec content? On the contrary, is content produced in the United States or in English favored?

    Quelle place pour la musique francophone à l’ère du streaming ?

    Les algorithmes de recommandations des plates-formes de streaming traitent-ils différemment les musiques #francophones ? Existe-t-il un biais algorithmique en défaveur des contenus francophones, français ou #québécois ? Au contraire, les contenus produits aux États-Unis ou en langue anglaise sont-ils favorisés ?

    #Montreal based post punk art rockers took a turn more experimental and #psychedelic with their 4th album and I'm 💯 here for it. Absolutely the right vibe for tonight, plus the cover art (illustration of a derpy longhaired cat?). Every song is doing something different, doing it well, and in a good way.

    Cheese curds!

    The drought is finally over. :catjam:

    I haven't tasted them yet, because I've had my synthroid about 20 minutes ago, and I have to wait one hour before eating stuff.
