If you haven’t been to Mitzi’s Sister yet (1554 Queen St. West, Toronto) it’s a nice, intimate venue with good, inexpensive food and some nice beers on tap. If you’re about on Tuesday, come on out for the Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra.
Bob Wiseman – Born to Love You
Oh…and even though I didn’t mention him today here’s Bob Wiseman with Born to Love You. Originally it was “Dead Inside” but the sound wasn’t that great, so I switched it with “Born to Love You” – cheers!
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…
Scream in High Park

There are hints though of Elton John,…

If you missed Toronto FC’s home opener this afternoon, you can watch the game in it’s entirety on CBC’s website. The match was streamed over the internet and has been archived here. Best of all, it’s free to watch. From the looks of things, it appears the CBC will do this for all TFC and…
