So, we’ve been busy enough with Hot Docs to almost forget that they, you know, are releasing films which aren’t documentaries this week (madness!) Indeed, craziness of craziness, they’re even holding other festivals this week! So we’d feel terrible if we forgot to mention the Toronto Jewish Film Festival, opening tomorrow night with a showing of Jesus is Magic, Sarah Silverman’s concert film which, to our memory, did rather well as a Midnight Madness showing......

- The Ceeb employee who wears the studded belt will soon be hosting a news and pop culture radio show on Toronto's Newstalk 1010 CFRB and Montreal's CJAD, according to the Globe. Apparently, this doesn't mean his hour is up, it just means he wants to bring more people to his time. - Take the Great Canadian Blog Survey so we can all figure out the point of these silly things. - The Star......

- Adam Nayman slaughters Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown on the Eyeblog. It's a rough cut, but the trailers (and Kirsten Dunst in a beret) have been scary enough. - Pop Wherry reports that Thursday's Hard Rock Cafe Tribute Bands Katrina concert may or may not include New Orleans is Sinking. - How close have you ever gotten to Bono's right hand? - A bummer: Zoilus will be retiring his Overtones column. Can Gary Michael Dault......

There is just so much good music to be found online and much of it as free and legal downloads. That's what Torontoist wants to share with you in these Le Mercredi Mixtapes and that's what *sixeyes share as well. So many artists, bands, and indie music labels offer mp3s that you could live in front of your monitor searching for new music. And Torontoist does.... here's what we've been living on lately. 1.......

I'm *sixeyes. I'm back. And Torontoist is sick of radio. The kind of crud that gets played on the type of stations that advertise themselves as 'Music for the Workplace'. Celine Dion (a little restraint please), Christina Aguilera (a lot of restraint, puh-leeze), Shania Twain ("Don't", that's the name of the song... so Torontoist has got to say... Please, please, please... doooooonnnnn'tttttt) and ("It only hurts when I'm Breathing"... then doooooonnnnn'tttttt)... Torontoist could go......

The best outdoor spot in the city do the forbidden dance? We'll see you there this weekend... 1. Mallory Green (Mallory Crescent and Moore Avenue) Mallory Green is the granddaddy of all outdoor locals for risky activity. The park recovered from its late 80s reputation as ideal homeless housing, and managed to make it though the 90s when it was a rumored drug-drop-off spot. Now Mallory Green only does what is does best: provide an......

Cinqo, quatro, tres...uh...dose! 2. Hollywood Gelato (1640 Bayview Ave) Ahh Hollywood Gelato! The Bayview Avenue store has branched out of its Leaside roots to become the favourite ice cream joint for people as far as Mississauga and Thornhill. Renovations over the years may have helped turned the store into a real operation (far from the rumored money laundering scheme it once was) but the gelato remains the same, if not better. And Torontoist will be......

Last weekend may have been Canada's Day, but this weekend Toronto reigns supreme with a host of festivals and concerts taking place across the city. And Torontoist knows what this means: tourists, and lots of them. But between the moments of cursing pedestrians blocking sidewalks with outstretched maps, we recognize the importance that out-of-towners have in the city. Not only do they spend lots and lots of money here, but they bring a giddy energy......

The temperature rises, and the city goes crazy. A small smattering of interesting things that happened this weekend: - Sally McKay made some neato gif animations that make us want to go camping asap. - Accordion Guy went to the 'Filipino Idol' competition, which we did not know existed. - Booklust enjoyed the loveliness of a lazy stroll, and was told to read Safran Foer's latest. egads. - And For the Records checked out the......

Although there's still snow underfoot, it's definitely spring down at the CNE Automotive Building during the One of A Kind Spring Show & Sale, which runs through Easter Monday. While there are gourmet, art and furniture categories, fashion is the star at the spring installment. A sneak peek this morning yielded Torontoist's OOAK pick of the day: indie micro-label Fauna [Booth O36] by Montreal's Alexis Walker, who features purses, totes and clutches sewn from bright,......

Oh Sam Roberts, how the fratboys love you so. And Torontoist likes you too, though you once looked our friend's girlfriend up and down so many times he thought you might strain something. But that was then, and you were getting photographed at Bright Pearl Restaurant, and they were eating Har Gau, and that's all water under the proverbial bridge. Now you're all grown up and playing pared down accoustic shows, with the likes of......

Much can be gleaned from a little compare and contrast, so let's continue our 'Choose-a-Chanteuse' (works if you pronounce it Chantooze!) contest with a little open floor discussion. Did Torontoist like the Feist concert? Do cows like grass? Actually, not sure about the second one. But the show was amazing. Feist is both siren and rock star. And Torontoist was both smitten and tired of having our feet stepped on by girls in pointy shoes.......

Anthony Lane thinks sex is a perfect arbiter of Ivy League worthiness. And Torontoist thinks PS is the perfect arbiter of Topher's big screen worthiness. We're keen to see this flick for Topher Grace and Laura Linney, as well as, oh, you know, the plot. We loved Dylan Kidd's Roger Dodger, so even if this film's a little heavy on the sentimentality, we'll cut it some slack. Torontoist is rooting for Topher to become the......
