It was the first night of the i(heart)music festival at Mavericks. The turnout was not what I expected it. But I was happy to see all four acts playing one great show on Thursday night. It was also a last show for this Ottawa band (which I decided to take a Polaroid). Centretown Cripplers started off the set. It was fun and loud as always. Straight forward set. Still can't believe it is their last show as a band. [...]

Laura Barrett, sensibly dressed for the commute to tonight's Horseshoe gig (though the lady does need some mittens) Old Man Winter is dumping on Toronto at the moment. For some people, the weather will guarantee they're staying in and watching American Idol's karaoke warblers. If you've access to the TTC, though, or live in the downtown core, and actually care to see some true musical talent, there's a triple bill of great Toronto musical artists at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern this evening. First on the bill, and starting at 9pm, is [...]

I've taken my sweet time coming around to The Rural Alberta Advantage (especially considering how many times I've seen their name mentioned in i (heart) music ), but I'm trying to make good now by getting on board. Basically, their debut album, Hometowns , is awesome. A perfect example of this is the driven and bittersweet "Don't Haunt This Place." To be honest, I could have chosen just about any track from this excellent release, but I figured this is a good place to start...and start you should. If you're like me, [...]

My folks used to wait until after my birthday (late November) before decorating for Christmas. After that, all bets were off and we'd go wild with decorations-not to mention drooling over the Sears Wish Book...ahh, pages and pages of toys. I (heart) music's annual list of the hottest bands in Canada is somewhat of a similar event for me, as this mammoth list signals that it's time to start thinking about my own year-end countdowns. Of course, instead of looking forward to toys and holiday parties, it's a time to look back over the year [...]

Once again Matthew at I(Heart)Music has conducted his annual poll of Canadian bloggers for their top ten hottest artist/bands of the year and again I've happily participated. I found it more difficult this year to compile a list although not because of a lack of Canadian talent - on the contrary there's an abundance of talent to choose from. My definition of 'hottest' is not merely a barometer of artists' success/achievements(e.g touring, new release, record label signing) this year but also factors the connection I made to the music whether that be seeing them live [...]
