A lot happens in and around Toronto, but we can only write about so much in a week. Here's the best of the rest, in a new weekly feature we're calling Superfluist. Superfluist will appear every Friday night.

How illegitimate are tonight's Casby awards? Well, maybe illegitimate is the wrong word. Can we use "bogus" instead? The equivalent of the Teen Choice Awards makes an attempt at a throw down tonight at the Kool Haus with performances by the largely-nominated Bedouin Soundclash and Hot Hot Heat. Bring your white belts. (Except any white-belted individuals should know that you must win a ticket or be on the GList to enter.)

Hot Hot Heat x New Afro - (A band called Louis) + All Ages = TWEENS!

Torontoist would like to give everyone another reason why they should fight the proposed anti-postering bylaw with everything they've got, rock posters. The streets, hoardings and lampposts of the city are frequently blessed by beautiful work by people like the Complaint Department and Michael Comeau (one of his more recent works was the poster for the packed Toronto Public Space Committee Fundraiser). Occasionally we are also blessed by a poster from Montreal duo Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau, better known as Seripop. The duo have been printing posters since 2002 and have a lot to show for it. They've travelled all over North America, shown in more galleries than we can count and have worked with bands like Hot Hot Heat, the Arcade Fire and the Unicorns.

Now, after the re-emergence of the creative emcee, Dre is looking to take back the balance of popularity from the Andre 3000's, Mos Def's, Roots's and Freeway's. The Game, who is the latest addition to Dre's group of muppets called the G-Unit, is every bit the regressive 1992 rap that maligned the genre for years. His nostalgia for George Bush Sr.-era thuggism may represent a change of pace that appeals to critics, but we can't seriously be considering returning to the "Bitches Ain't Shit" sloganism and ultra violence of past...can we? Here's this week's completely unrelated mixtape.
