Today Apple offered us a refresh of their entire iPod line, making us want to blindly toss our money at the company once again. One Torontonian, however, is getting some coin thrown her way—big time. Indie darling Leslie Feist has found her track "1234" at the core of the new worldwide iPod nano television spot. Even better, Apple is touting the device's new ability to play video, and prominently features the "1234" clip, directed......

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......

V-Fest has come and gone, and although it definitely had some issues, it was a great experience overall. The Flaming Lips clearly stole the show, even though they were forced to shut everything down after four songs on Day One, due to an 11pm curfew. Their show is like going to Disney Land, but for adults. Multiplied by 10. It warmed the cochels of my heart. Other notable performances included The Raconteurs, Wolfmother, Phoenix......

Artist, Santa Cruz organizer, co-founder of Three Gut Records, Eye Weekly art director and woman-about-town Tyler Clark Burke launches her newest – and most ambitious – project today: The Few Bricks Short A House Project. Tyler wants to buy a house, and has enlisted some of her friends to help her do it. Starting today, you can bid on a variety of items or services donated by Toronto artists, photographers, musicians, and writers - as......

The white blur playing drums in the middle goes by the name of Leslie Feist. The bright red smudge is New Buffalo (alias: Sally). On the other side is minor character Jason Collett, on guitar. Together they are the first of the two Danforth Music Hall Feist gigs. Sound totally unstoppable? Not quite: Too many sing-a-longs, an oppressive venue (no food or coffee sales, way expensive drinks and no ins-and-outs), and a tired Torontoist......

Sadly, Torontoist has learnt through comments on this here blog, stille post and a not working website that the Ear to the Ground Fest won't be happening. No word on whether any of the bands will regroup and put on their own shows but there's plenty going on this weekend. Boy Reporter is going to shamelessly plug his friend's the Pickups who are launching their CD with Montreal piano-poppist Mike Evin at Sneaky Dee's. If......

When France's Parti Socialiste cast their influential vote on a new EU constitution last night, the 120,000 members had much to consider. While the vote could possibly determine the future of the European Union, the French Socialists had a relatively easy decision compared to tonight's concert choices in Toronto. BSS alumni Leslie Feist at the Phoenix Concert Theatre might seem like the obvious option (BSS, by the way, stands for Broken Social Scene, not......
