It looks like President Barack Obama is a card carrying member of the iPhone nation now, because the hippest leader of the free world joined the Instagram photo sharing service this week. The service boast over 15 million users and has taken the art of taking cell phone photos and adding a layer of nostalgia via various filters, thus allowing even the crappiest photographer to create something slightly less crappy. Ah, sentimentality, your powers are strong. more ›

Gaze longingly at some shots from dinner at Next last night. We even managed a trip inside the kitchen to get a few shots backstage - you might not have seen these. Review and commentary (and believe me, I have plenty to say, good and bad) will come on Monday, but until then, take a look at the exquisitely-plated food and keep clicking refresh on your email inbox for tickets. more ›

Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy was in Toronto for a concert recently and stopped for a bite at a sandwich shop, The name of the shop? Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Company LTD. We have no excuse as to why this idea didn't make our list of things to which Wilco could lend their brand name. Tweedy also shows a droll sense of humor in his review of the sandwich shop, saying, "Lunch was really good, but, to be honest, I prefer their earlier more experimental sandwiches." more ›

We're willing to beg, borrow, steal or commit minor acts of vandalism to get into Next, even as a paying customer after opening day.

Superchunk played to an enthusiastic crowd at Metro last night, even if the median age meant many a knee was cracking under the strain of non-stop bopping and dancing to the band's thinking punk. The set-list drew material from all corners of the band's long career and ended with an amazing one-two punch covering Naked Raygun's "I Don't Know" and then slamming into a vicious rendition of their own "Precision Auto." Uh-MAY-zing. more ›

Damon Albarn fronts a 19+ member band in the current live incarnation of his multimedia hop-pop art project Gorillaz, and believe us when we say not a single note is superfluous or wasted. As his vision for the band has grown from a simple animated group through which he could kick out playful tunes on Gorillaz debut to the darkly ambitious and sprawling engagement of this year's Plastic Beach. Albarn is creatively restless and one can see his many side projects -- soundtracks, world music collaborations, that little band he fronts named Blur -- all coming together in the Gorillaz stew-pot, and what he's serving up is absolutely delicious. more ›

The of Montreal we saw on the same stage last Saturday seemed reinvigorated by the material off the band’s excellent new album False Priest. It was possibly the first time we’ve ever seen frontman Kevin Barnes seem so genuinely happy onstage. He was impish, playful, lascivious, and at times even downright adorable. Instead of hiding behind elaborate sets, Barnes pushed his large band of instrument playing compatriots to the perimeter of the stage, and allowed thoughtful visual flourishes to join occasionally join him in the spotlight between more elaborately choreographed dancing and pantomime with outrageously costumed characters that actually fit a visual storyline. more ›
