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.

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 well as her mom. 40% of the profits will go to the donor, 40% will go to Tyler, and the remaining 20% will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

After dozing during the Collett affair, we awoke very confused, briefly thinking perhaps we had somehow time-travelled to a mid-90's Wallflowers show. (Yes dudes - "the same black line that was drawn on you, was drawn on me, Sixth Avenue heartache.") What we are trying to say is that Mr Collett has never had the unconventionalness to keep our attention. Feist, however, is now a local superhero, showing up in her all-white suit and saving the night with her voice. She was on-point as usual, but we found it extra tiresome when she asked us to sing, clap or snap to every song. But how can we complain when SuperFeist and her side-kick in the shiny red suit (New Buff) play the same bill? During a "Major Label Debut" encore, she even protected one little indie dude from security ("Hey, security guy, let him come up to the front!"). Despite the off-and-on show, Feist earned her applause. And Danforth Music Hall is safe...for now.

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.

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.
