Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2007––the people, places, and things that we've either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months. Get your dose, starting Boxing Day and running into the new year, three times a day––sunrise, noon, and sunset.

There are quite a few bands in town tomorrow evening and we happen to have tickets to two of the shows, courtesy of Against The Grain.

Looking for something fun to do tonight and don't want to spend much money? We have just the ticket (literally). Chicago's The Ponys will be playing at Lee's Palace this evening with Atlanta's The Black Lips and local boys Action Makes, and courtesy of Against The Grain, we have two pairs of tickets to put in your hot little hands. If you can make it on short notice, be the first two people to email carrie@torontoist.com with your full name and the tickets are all yours.

After personally emailing us to confirm that they won't be detained and given a "special Canadian inspection" at the border, San Francisco's Birdmonster are happy to finally be allowed in our fair land, and will be headlining a show at The Horseshoe this Wednesday, March 28, in support of their latest album No Midnight.

After five long years, indie rockers The Apples in Stereo are back with the release of their latest disc New Magnetic Wonder (Simian Records) on February 7. We've only had a chance to listen to a few songs so far, and they're very catchy 60's pop goodness. Furthermore, lead singer Robert Schneider created a whole new music scale, called the "Non-Pythagorean Scale," which is extensively explained as a bonus on the new disc. Luckily for us, we'll get a chance to hear it all live when the band hits Lee's Palace on February 20, with openers Casper and The Cookies and Rock Plaza Central.

Brooklynite singer-songwriters Kevin Devine and Jennifer O'Connor are stopping by Lee's Palace on Monday night (Jan. 29) for an evening of (mostly) acoustic indie goodness. Devine recently opened for Corinne Bailey Rae at the Mod Club, and is now taking on his first headlining tour to support his late 2006 release Put Your Ghost to Rest, with O'Connor opening.
