Smack in the middle of Canadian music week, to be followed by Gentleman Reg and Young Galaxy - so far looking like a good week to be a Torontonian!

Classic nostalgia

Feeling nostalgic for when kids TV didn't suck.

Could there be a better way to ring in a New Year?

So I've just had to change my New Years Eve plans . . .


"If you find yourself in Toronto this New Years Eve, come to the Phoenix where Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning and Jimmy Shaw of Metric will be hosting a dance party for the ages."


It seems I will be ringing in 2009 with a bunch of 17 year olds whilst looking for the ghost of Rory O'Shea in the Parlour . . . ahhhh the Pheonix in the 90's . . .

Love George Vale's work, and once again I am not disappointed. Kev's hair made me laugh a bit though.
