The NYC blogsphere are currently chattering about Brooklyn's Grizzly Bear, who released one of my favourite albums of 2004 (Horn Of Plenty). They have recently opened for the Mountain Goats in NYC (see Brooklyn Vegan), booked a N.A. tour and are set to re-release their debut with a bonus remix album (featuring remixes by Final Fantasy, DNTEL, and Saftey Scissors).

Check out this old interview with the band by crashinin.
Pick up the re-release at a great price here.

Brendan Benson has confirmed yet another Toronto appearance at the Horseshoe on December 3, 2005. Tickets on sale now.

Final Fantasy (aka Owen Pallett) is hosting a video release party at The Boat featuring performances by Henri Faberge and the Adorables, Laura Barrett and Ninja High School on November 8th. Tickets are $8. Anyone know anything about the wereabouts of this show, and where tickets are available??

Tonight, going to see Jarhead, then apps and drinks. Tomorrow Jay's b-day. Sunday...sleep in, and start dumping the contents of my iPod onto my harddrive (then to DVD). I need to get this faulty battery fixed, maybe they'll send me a new one.
