Stars! Stars! Stars! New!

April 7th, 2010

Attention Stars fans! The first single off of the soon to be released The Five Ghosts. And. It. Is. Amazing. It’s so upbeat. It’s very “Ageless Beauty”-like, but different. Sorta. After a couple of listens, it’s already become one of my favourite Stars songs. Download it (for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) here! Stars’ fifth LP, The Five Ghosts, [...]

The xx @ Phoenix

April 5th, 2010

There aren’t too many bands that sound as polished live as they do on their records. Vocals can be off, strumming patterns are messed around with…it can just be a messy situation. The xx? They’re an exception to the rule. Being one of the most buzzed bands of 2009 and jumping into 2010 with a [...]

Miike Snow @ Phoenix: Man? Machine? Robot?

April 5th, 2010

Electro-pop-indie trio from Stockholm, Sweden made waves in Toronto with an absolutely mind-blowing show. The chemistry and presence Miike Snow bought to the Phoenix this past Saturday was phenomenal, from the light show synced with the music, to the incredible theatrics of the performance to the animated audience. It’s a show people will be talking [...]

Justin Bieber My World 2.0 review

March 26th, 2010

It has been about 4 months since the first release of Justin Bieber’s debut CD, My World. As he promised, the second part was released and I have to say, it was a bit disappointing. Not because I did not win the big golden ticket trip to the Bahamas (although that might have helped) but [...]

Wilco (The Sandwich Shop)

March 26th, 2010

You obviously haven’t made it as a band unless you have a sandwich shop inspired by you. Well, so says Wilco. Sky Blue Sky, the name of Wilco’s sixth album has now become a Wilco-themed sandwich shop in Toronto. Amazing, right? Located on Bloor St West, Sky Blue Sky was named by chance by owner [...]

She’s Out of My League: A Review!

March 18th, 2010

Have you and your friends ever “rated” yourselves? What did you come out as? A four? A seven? A hard ten? In She’s Out of My League, it’s all about the numbers. A “five” named Kirk (Jay Baruchel) finds himself in a relationship with a “hard ten”, named Molly (Alice Eve). I decided to check [...]

Florence is a Machine

March 12th, 2010

Florence Welch is the lead singer of the band Florence + the Machine. Florence Welch is a machine. Florence Welch’s distinctive voice intertwines beautifully with harps, strings and drums as she sings her inimitable ‘soul-inspired indie’ and ‘Tim Burton-style fairytales’. -Paul Epworth If you’re not familiar with Florence Welch by now, I could easily go [...]
