Sarah Lazarovic—curator of the garage-based Montrose Portrait Gallery of Canada—is painting a portrait of a Torontonian every day. Each Monday, we'll feature one of those portraits here. Stephen Eyes puts his catchy name to good use. Eyes on Toronto is a live TV talk show held monthly at the Gladstone Hotel. Tonight, Eyes banters with Trevor Boris and Major Maker. You can also watch clips of Royal Wood, Bob Wiseman and others on Eyes' site.......

Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! There are a whole lot of photographic crowd pleasers in this shot by Flickr pool contributor End User: a fisheye lens, tall buildings, geometric lines, and the BCE Place atrium. What we (and the photographer) also like is how it captures......

So you wake up, make a cup of coffee, go outside to grab the newspaper in your PJs and suddenly notice that your regular copy of The Globe and Mail has been replaced with a more different copy of The Globe and Mail. One with ugly black divider bars scattered across the front page and at least a couple inches lost from the broadsheet. You notice an alarming increase of sans serif fonts. Is......

Photo by David Topping. As far as picking memorable band names go, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin may be on to something. Right up there with I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness as the best independent-clause-turned-band-name, the Missouri band -- in town last night with Chicago's Chin Up Chin Up at Sneaky Dee's -- has received almost as much attention for their name as for their music. The choice to announce their......

It seems pretty appropriate that we just had Groundhog Day, given that we're feeling a little bit like Bill Murray looking at the concert listings this week. Not only is there very little going on, but most of the bands who are playing seem to be here every week (Apostle of Hustle, The Tragically Hip, Hostage Life, Friendly Rich). Thus, we have nothing left to say about them! So if you've already seen these......

Everyone recovered from V-Fest yet? No? What's wrong with you? Better take your vitamins and Red Bull then, because there's a lot going on this week. Notably, Ms. Emily Haines will be playing four (that's right, 4!) shows in a span of three days (incl. V-Fest), so if you think you're tired... If this isn't enough music for one week and you know of other shows, as always, we want to hear about it......

Tonight, the Horseshoe Tavern plays host to the Pitchfork/Secretly Canadian Indie Rock Triple-Header. This is a chance to see three awesome bands you've probably never heard of... but who everyone will be talking about in a few months. If you want to get ahead of the curve, read on. San Francisco's Birdmonster headline the night. Their sound is giant. Their guitarist famously declared: "Our main goal is to rock so hard one of us faints."......

Organisé par plus de 32 organismes, la semaine de la francophonie à Toronto, du 15 au 24 mars, produit plus de 28 activités culturelles. Cette année, affirme Béatrice Nday wa Mbayo dans l'express de Toronto, « [l]a Semaine de la francophonie, c'est la communion des cultures ». Conférence sur Jean-Paul Sartre, présentation du film « Regard croisé Sartre – Beauvoir », Exposition d’objets d’art congolais, soirée des années cinquante sous les airs de Boris Vian......
