    You didn’t mention the ALL CAPS! show this Saturday the 12th from 2-7 in Dufferin Grove Park, copresented by the Toronto Public Space Committee and the Friends of Dufferin Grove. The lineup includes Neil Haverty, Proof of Ghosts, The Diableros, I Can Put My Arm Back On You Can’t, Mantler, Stop Die Resuscitate, The Lolo Project, and DD/MM/YYYY. Of course, it’s PWYC.

    That some Keane tickets are double the cost of Yo La Tengo tickets proves there is no (musical) justice in the world. Keane isn’t twice as good as anyone.

    Torontoist will be at ALL of these gigs?

    At the very least, Carrie will. This is a music-less week for yours truly and many of the other staffers.

    No, no, no…I’ll be at the ones with the **beside them. Not all. Dear lord, I’d kill myself! Wakestock, Warped and the AIDS gala this week for me. :)

    Oh, I interpreted brokenengine’s comment as ‘Torontoist will be at ALL those gigs (with a star beside them)’. Damn you, interweb!!!
