So it's November. I know, the July events seemed to breed a little more excitement and anticipation but don't judge November too quickly cause we've got pre-holiday fun, the finest in French film on schedule, and you'll be pleased to know there are still a few events and shopping locations devoid of Christmas jingles. For now.

Montreal concerts this November 2012 feature a who's who of vintage, big ticket rock, from Neil Young to Bob Dylan to Journey to Pat Benatar to even The Who. But guitars aside, somebody must be having a chat with the big guns in electroland because November's got some of the finest in circulation converging in the city, starting with one of the scene's originals, the Plastikman himself, Canada's own Richie Hawtin.

From a freakishly summer-esque day to a bone-chilling arctic experience, anything can happen in Montreal in November. But it's not as bad as it sounds. And while it's not time for down-filled coats just yet, remember to bundle up. Think wool overcoat and/or lightly insulated fall jackets with a sweater or layer of fleece underneath. And bring out those gloves and scarves. You'll need them.
