Broken Social Scene's new disc titled "Broken Social Scene" finally leaks. And it's great, as every indie kid the world over hoped it would be. My favourite tracks thus far are "hotel" and swimmers". Check out Kevin Drew's thoughts on the leak here.

You can download 7/4 Shoreline here.

Toronto falls on a saturday which is amazing, because it'll be all about taking in Youth Group and DCFC, and then out for some disco dancing at the Mod Club OR Supermarket!! The only thing that would make the night more complete is if Stars were also added to the Toronto bill. Come on guys, they're a Canadian band, ADD THEM TO TORONTO!!!!

I'm selling two GA floors for the White Stripes/Greenhornes show at the Molson Ampitheatre on Friday September 16, 2005. I'm no longer able to use them. Email me @ dokorn@hotmail.com if your interested. I'm asking face value.

Everyone's favourite indie pop-dance queen Annie is touring North America this fall wth Royksopp. Tickets are still available here for the Toronto show on September 20th. If it wasn't a weeknight, I would have hit this shit to dance my ass off to Annie's sweet sweet pop cheese.

I think that's it.

Long time no blog.

The National/CYHSY! tour won't hit Toronto...but both bands have solo dates at the shoe. Click here to buy tickets online (and pay inflated service fee) or pick tickets up at Rotate or the shoe. It's funny, in the band description for CYHSY, ticketmaster references Pitchfork.

Plans has leaked.

I have a sick sick addiction to bad reality television (yes, it's true, I'm a reality tv addict.). I've been hooked on BB6 this summer. One of the secrets is that one of the banished house guests is being voted back into the house by the viewing public. Please follow this link and vote for Kaysar.

Veronica Mars debuted last week on CBS (in a pretty crappy timeslot friday at 8pm) and it's amazing. Checks it out if you were a fan for Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls.

This weekend, Arcade Fire side-project Bells Orchestre play the ElMo with Final Fantasy, Wooden Stars and Megaman (aka Fear Of Turbulance). Check out Megaman's Mike Grasby's solo project I For Barton here.

Takk has leaked. It's pretty much standard Sigur Ros, in my opionion nothing too exciting. But they are an amazing live band so check them out on their upcoming North American Tour.
