During my entirely-too-short visit to Québec in May, I was fortunate to be staying only short drive away from Serge Fiori's old house. I still cannot believe I saw the house where Harmonium's third album, L'heptade, was recorded!

🎶 Post an album you've listened to 100 times (or more)! I can post 4 just for 2026! 😁

I've been back home for nearly a week but haven't managed to get around to taking photos of my music haul from my Montréal visit. It's so difficult to find this stuff in the US that I made the most of my trip. Sure, I could pay shipping but finding things in the wild is much more fun! Some LPs:

Bonjour, Québec 😊 I am here for your Harmonium.

QTP with a trio of awesomeness

Name the film that scared your socks off as a kid.

Harmonium in May, now The Damned in October. 🥳

I try to keep politics off of this account but I just had to celebrate this tonight!! Shouldn't have had to be done but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

My RSD 2026 finds from yesterday. Popped into a local shop to see what was left at 1 pm. Missing: the Billy Squier RSD release that I ordered this morning (at the normal, non-scalper price). #RSD #RSD2026

Never heard of these before. They're beautiful!

This is one of my favorite Tull songs but what I really love about this YT video is the time signature annotations. It's fascinating to me! The various odd time signatures + rapid changes really illustrate the complexity and what a gifted songwriter Ian Anderson is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=03_v...

How am I meant to publicly obsess about Jethro Tull and Harmonium if bluesky isn't working??

This Harmonium song is one that I can't stop listening to lately, particularly the live version. Something about Serge Fiori's voice is so soothing to my soul. 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9X0...

Love love love this one from Jethro Tull's third album, Benefit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG5z...

Tull shirts, front and back (part 1) I've been to more concerts than this but didn't always get a shirt. The designs got pretty repetitive for a while so I passed on a bunch. Far left column are the 2 from my first Tull show (and a replacement I found online because I wore the first one out).

My Harmonium shirt collection. I had each album cover made up in a short-sleeve and long-sleeve plus a couple in random colors. "Comme un fou", right? 😁 (My Jethro Tull shirt collection is way worse.)

If you see this, post a concert photo that you took.

Only two months to go! I've since decided that it wouldn't be too smart for me to do all this driving in one day, so I've booked myself a room for 2 nights in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. So excited for the concert and even more excited that I will get to see a bit of Québec outside Montréal. 😊

I don't know who needs to hear a 1960s Québécois band do a cover of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" but I needed to hear this today. 😁 Shout-out to @radiosouvenirsfm.bsky.social for putting Les Sultans on my radar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVzv...

Arrived today! I've already commemorated Jethro Tull with a vanity plate, so my other car deserves some Harmonium. 😁

Footage of live Harmonium performances is so rare. This video is from 1977 and it blows my mind to think that I will get to see 4 of the people here playing live this May. This is a fun tune from their 2nd album - and doesn't sound like any of their other songs! www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7nr...

It was nice knowing you all. 🫡 (Tornadoes are NOT common in my area.) In all seriousness, if anyone I know on here is in the "severe weather" area today, stay safe!

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Harmonium song of the day: "Le Premier Ciel" from the live album, Harmonium en tournée. I think I enjoy the live performance more than the studio album L'heptade. What I especially love is Serge singing along with the guitar notes just after 5:00 in. youtu.be/QNmTyAGy7O8

Drop something PINK 🌸🐷🖤👚🦩

One of my absolute favorite Harmonium songs*, purely for the emotion in Serge Fiori's voice. *Most of their songs have been my favorite at some point or another. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k0J...

Another song served up by the streaming service algorithm. I loved this one immediately and thought for sure it was from the 1960s. Turned out it's from 2015, which makes it one of the two most current songs on my main playlist. (The other is also Jean Leloup.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vscf...

I just learned that Chris Squire and Serge Fiori shared the same birthday (March 4th). I just felt the need to share this today, for no particular reason other than it's March 4th. 😁

How I arrived on Bluesky.

Twitter has turned into even more of a cesspool than it was. Bluesky has been wonderful and it's becoming my happy place. While I've been waiting for Bluesky to work again for more than 5 minutes at a time, my Twitter feed has turned into a Jethro Tull hatefest and I feel attacked. 😂

It seems to have "found" my missing streams. I think I may have a problem. 😂 (In my defense, this isn't the only way I listen to music, haha.)

When I reach the end of my Harmonium playlist of all 4 full albums, the algorithm will suggest similar music. I fell in love with this one from 1970 immediately. If you're not francophone (and I'm not), don't let that scare you off. Really cool and haunting song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEfV...

If you see this, post a Princess or a Queen.

Harmonium's "Comme un fou" live in 1976 What I love most about this - aside from Serge Fiori's incredible voice and Louis Valois' bass playing - is that the lyrics weren't even finished at the time of this performance. The bit at the end gives me chills every time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9sT...

Proud to announce that I've earned whomever owns the rights to Harmonium's music a cool $2.24 USD ($3.06 CAD) in February. 😁 (The number should be higher but Tidal annoyingly didn't update the totals for 2 days of my streaming activity.)

This online radio station plays a wide variety of interesting music (though I really need to listen to more of it, especially the French language music). I am always thrilled to see some Harmonium. 🥰

Four Live Albums that you would take on a desert island. I actually have one that isn't Tull! 😁

Next May, I'll drive 4 hours each way in one day just to see a Harmonium show in Montreal. May can't get here soon enough! I have not shut up about this since the tickets were bought. 😂

Did a search for Harmonium (the band) and only found harmonium (the instrument). They were fantastic so I need to get some on here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nKy...

This year's tree is overloaded because I kept finding ornaments I brought home from clearing out my parents' house in New Jersey. Probably 90% of the ones on the tree were made by my mother. I had no idea my mom made so many of these beaded ornaments in the 1960s. Or where she found the time lol.
