  • RoS – There Were Holes

    There were holes last night in Republic of Safety’s show at the Horseshoe if you were there, you know all about them, if you weren’t – go to more shows, you miss things otherwise. Maggie MacDonald & Company quickly grabbed and held an audience that had largely (I got the impression) come to see the…

  • Help Wanted!

    I don’t intent or want publicbroadcasting.ca to be too Toronto centric, the problem is that I’m in Toronto and so I’m more aware of what’s going on here than other parts of Canada. To tell the truth I can’t even cover (or be aware of) everything going on in Toronto. So, I’m looking for ‘correspondents’…

  • Scream in High Park

    The Scream Literary Festival wraps up this monday with “Scream in High Park”. If you’ve never been to the CanStage Amphitheatre in High Park, it is truly one of Toronto’s best kept secrets. If packing some snacks in the picnic basket and sitting in a natural amphitheater (with seating) in the woods, listening to an…

  • Bronx Cheerleader – the Art of Dancing

    There is alot of good Canadian stuff on YouTube and other video sites – music videos, short films, stand up comedy, television and film clips and trailers..so, rather than wait for a particular reason to post something I’ve decided to just start throwing bits of it out at random. Here’s the Art of Dancing from…

  • Log Driver’s Waltz

    I got an email this morning asking if I could find the NFB’s Log Driver’s Waltz. This video can be found on YouTube. More information about it can be found at the National Film Board or the Internet Movie Database (IMDB).

  • TIFF Site Up

    I likely won’t talk about the Toronto International Film Festival on this site much. I’m not big on celebrities, I don’t care who was seen where, I’m not interested in autographs, so unless there is a particular film that really strikes me (and given the purpose of this site it would have to be a…

  • Repuplic of Safety at the Horseshoe

    Tommorrow Night at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern (which is celebrating it’s 60th anniversary this year), Republic of Safety will be playing with Portland Oregon’s The Blow. If you don’t know RoS imagine if the Cramps met the Go-Gos and ate them. Or don’t imagine and just go have a listen.

  • Lonely Hunters CD Release Party

    I was invited today to the Lonely Hunters CD Release Party. While the band is great, and I’d love to attend as I’m sure it would be a great time – my lack of being independently wealthy prevents me from flying to Calgary Tomorrow. If, like me, you can’t be in Calgary tomorrow – check…

  • At the Drake Last Night: Will Currie and the Country French

    There were all of 30-40 people last night at the Drake Hotel to see Will Currie and the Country French – which is a damn shame because they will one day play sold out shows and you won’t be able to get tickets. Still, I guess the lack of buzz isn’t that surprising. They don’t…

  • Firsts and #12

    The Scorecard and an excellent R3TV with Joel Plaskett and Peter Elkas are below. But first, the mini rant: If this happens (and there is no reason for it not to) – It will be the first time in history that an audience has created a television show. Shows have been pulled because the audience…
