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. Cathy Gordon decided to get very, very publicly divorced on Monday, with an art piece she called "On My Knees." For it, she crawled around Toronto for a while (on her knees!), signed divorce papers, and then......

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.) And after the party,......

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

Supposedly the largest Canadian Triple H show ever, Torontoist was......

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......

Given the relatively short existence of rap music, tracing its lineage appears fairly simple. The advances in the genre are well-documented: Kool Herc started turntablism, Kurtis Blow first brought rap to the mainstream, Prince Paul popularized skits, Afrika Bambaataa rocked the sample, and so forth and so on. Then there is Dr Dre's classic 1992 album The Chronic, which represents perhaps the most perplexing turn in hip hop history. The album essentially brought West Coast......
