Throughout his fifteen-year career, Hayden has been travelling a leisurely path from gravelly grunge-folkie to a more refined folk-pop sound. It's a transition still in progress, and on The Place Where We Lived, out today on Hardwood Records, Hayden gets a little help from his friends on a fitting next chapter in his ever-expanding sad-boy saga.

SCULPTURE: Almost two hundred years ago, American ships sailed into the Toronto harbour at Fort York and released an army of soldiers who then set fire to the city. A battle ensued and by the time the War of 1812 had ended, Canada had the confidence to develop as a nation and the Americans found themselves rebuilding their White House. Douglas Coupland—writer, artist, and lover of all things Canadian—commemorates the event with his new sculpture Memorial to the War of 1812, to be unveiled today near the site of Fort York. 600 Fleet Street, 12:30 p.m., FREE.

A brief stint of Radiohead concert rumours spread like wildfires last week. Ticketmaster had announced that the band would play two shows on May 26 and 27 at the Air Canada Centre, but mentioned neither the date for the tickets to go on sale nor the price of the tickets themselves—the announcement was quickly removed from the site. This is not the first time Ticketmaster has announced a Radiohead show that did not exist, and most knew the ticket-selling mongrels were wrong, as both Greenplastic and W.A.S.T.E. (the two most reliable Radiohead news sources) announced a small batch of US dates to come in May with the remainder of (unannounced) North American dates to follow Radiohead’s summer tour of the UK and Europe. With accurate Canadian dates sure to be released any day now, Musicologist recommends relying on both Greenplastic and W.A.S.T.E. for pre-sale opportunities.
