Of course, these days celebrity endorsements are par for the course, regardless of how ineffective they may be.

Fans of the French electro scene are having the best week ever. First, DJ duo Justice arrived in Toronto to play a sold-out concert at The Sound Academy on Monday, and now their friend/artistic collaborator So Me is opening an exhibition, Portraits, this Friday, March 21 at Studio Gallery (294 College Street, above the Savannah Room).

A cleverly-mounted billboard with a comment on the successfully arrogant rapper. He ain't messing with no broke broke. At Front and Bathurst.

There were few surprises in the Torontoist Single of the Year list, and there are even fewer surprises in our album list. The record of the year spot, even before its release date of Sept. 14, is on lock down with those post-baroque screamo Montrealers, The Arcade Fire.
