Tweet vaso link While occupying a roof alongside a litany of dirty hipsters this past summer in Toronto - a few classier citizens sprinkled in - I did my best to assimilate by attempting to repair a broken pair of cheap sunglasses and drinking keg beer while uninterestedly watching some bands play. My staggering coolness aside, I likely conveyed too much enjoyment to mask my outsider status, laughing often at the antics of the lead singer. Mac DeMarco [...]
As another year draws to a close, it's time for Panic Manualers old and new to contemplate what has just happened. For many of us, it's an opportunity to reflect on the music released in 2011. For others, it's an opportunity to reflect on just about everything else . This year was the whirly-windiest yet. While I can't say I saw as much live music as I would have liked, there were certainly some moments worth mentioning. The Panic Manual hosted another successful 90's party at the Boat in Kensington Market, and that was the [...]

Toronto - In an interview published earlier today by esteemed online music journal Pitchfork Media , Kevin Drew of the popular Canadian rock band Broken Social Scene declared that the band was going on hiatus indefinitely after concluding their current tour for their most current LP Forgiveness Rock Record . Arguably one of the most significant bands to emerge in Canada in the past fifteen years, the 67 members of Broken Social Scene have done their part in shaping the landscape in Canadian music for years to come. Alumnus of the band have gone on to [...]

Awhile back I decided to use a film camera and take some photos from this year's NXNE Festival in Toronto. Bought a roll of B&W Illford 36 exposure film. Wanted to see what the results were on printed photo/film. Took me awhile to get the film developed and scanned the good photos I took (Wish I got a better scanner. Anyone know a good brand to buy?) It would be too much to type up on which acts [...]

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive Martin Sanmiguel They may offer a nod to fearsome Jonestown icon Jim Jones on their record and have a slightly creepy name, but there's nothing off-putting or diabolical about New York duo Cults . Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion -- partners both musically and romantically -- have quickly won the favour of just about anyone who has a penchant for dreamy, retro-flavoured indie-pop (including Lily Allen , whose [...]

Crocodiles: photo by Michael Ligon Since I had Friday[June 17] off from work, I'd had hopes off making it out to some of the daytime NXNE festivities but alas it did not happen. It figures just when it seems the daytime NXNE-affiliated or NXNE-related shows are stepping it up, I don't make it out to any of them. On the other hand, I made a conscious decision to try to start the night out early. My 8 pm pick went to Toronto indiepop group Persian Rugs. In my NXNE preview post [...]
photos by Natasha Ryan Ty Segall on a boat 1.You can actually get kicked off the boat Things got pretty rocking on the M for Montreal and Brooklyn Vegan Bruise Cruise Saturday afternoon [June 18th]. But we did find out a useful tidbit yesterday: you can actually get kicked off the boat. You'd think once you were in international waters, there wouldn't be a lot of law enforcement going on. But one dude came within an inch [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive Matthew C.X. Langford, AOL Alex Zhang Hungtai, the one-man band dubbed Dirty Beaches , is out to prove that glossy production values and expensive musical equipment don't necessarily give you an advantage. With his moody, blues-based, distortion-heavy rock, the self-taught Vancouver-based musician has been steadily earning fans who are drawn to his down-and-dirty aesthetic. He's also managed to get the critics on board, too, (especially in [...]
