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 [...]

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 [...]

ALICIA KEYS TAKES TORONTO

March 12th, 2010

I remember being incredibly impressed when Alicia Keys first broke out on the scene. I was in my tweens, bored of the bubble-pop music and needed something fresh and original in my Sony discman – and in comes this New Yorker with braids and a swagga of her own, singing about self-worth and love with [...]

Raised by Swans @ The Garrison

March 9th, 2010

This Raised by Swans review story really starts two years ago, during Canadian Music Week (wooo CMW!). My buddy and I, after getting so psyched by listening to the band’s MySpace before the show, spent an entire evening hanging out at Rancho Relaxo waiting to hear a band whose car ended up breaking down in [...]

Dear John Review

February 10th, 2010

Like many of the girls and woman across North America this weekend, I decided to check out the new romantic flick Dear John, starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried. I’m not sure if it had anything to do with the majority of the male population staying home to watch the Super Bowl, but Dear John [...]

Laura Marling Speaks Because She Can

February 10th, 2010

The marvelous Laura Marling played an absolutely jaw-dropping concert last night at Lee’s Palace in Toronto. The 90′s born folk singer-songwriter shocked an audience that may have passed her in age, but certainly not in wisdom – a young Joni Mitchell in the making. It was a perfect start to a perfect evening as Laura’s [...]

Oldies but Goodies: The Magnetic Fields (Live @ The Queen Elizabeth Theater)

February 9th, 2010

So say one day you hear this great song in a movie or TV show. As soon as the sound hits your ears your brain begins to explode a little. You’re all “ME LIKES THIS SONG” and you go and find out just what the song is. You freeze a little. This ain’t no new [...]

Matthew Good @ Massey Hall

December 22nd, 2009

I don’t think I even need to tell you that Massey Hall was all but packed to capacity this last weekend when Canadian new-rock hero Matthew Good rolled into town. If you even wondered how full the place was, you should do the following: 1) Close this window right now! 2) Get yourself down to [...]
