Torontoist doesn't have a lot of time now that summer is over. Not a lot of time to do up an indepth Le Mercredi Mixtape, that is, but don't fear, there is some good new music here. 1. Amestory - "They're Telling You You've Been Alive" Amestory live and breathe in the cool dark beneath the piano's top, in the body of the violin, breathing the sad sunless air. Although, Torontoist is surely glad......

Le Mercredi Mixtape returns. Yep, it's *sixeyes sharing music on Torontoist with you the Torontoist readers. So, put a plug in it, plug in and listen up while Torontoist plugs some recent discoveries and some favourites. 1. Kyle Andrews - "Sushi" Nashville indie-pop upstart, Kyle Andrews, sounds like he's having fun telling us about a Sushi bar and asking, "You gonna save me or not?" Uh, will listening over and over save you? Then,......

This Le Mercredi Mixtape starts off with promising New Yorkers and ends with promising Brits and in between is a warm salty ocean to dive into. But 'mixtape'? Mixtape seems like an anachronism already, who makes them anymore? And this isn't a 'tape' now is it? But, what the hell, I used to make mixtapes all the time and actually enjoyed giving new music to friends. This was the idea behind my mp3 blog,......

Are you always searching for that something, or someone, special? Something like a new song to rekindle long lost feelings. If music is that special love you seek... good luck, for music can be a cruel mistress/mister. Oh, you think you know what you're doing, you've been listening to and buying music for years. BUT there are some bad matches out there, ones that cry out for help, couples that need guidance, directions away from......

Sorry, Torontoist got so wrapped up in that Gomery affair we totally forgot our Mercredi Mixtape obligations last week! Expect another blip in the Mixtape delivery when Chuck Guite gets all up in it. Other than that, here's the downloadables: 1. Sufjan Stevens - Illionoise Clever play on the state name, Suf. Fun song too! 2. The Coral - "In the Morning" video Scandalous! 3. The Russian Futurists - "Paul Simon" They can call you......

It's easy to avoid The Game and Fifty Cents. Likewise for Nickelback. It's even pretty easy to stay away from Thornley and the Barenaked Ladies. They don't bother us, and we don't bother them. But there are some bands, SOME bands, that bring us to the brink of violent disgust; it's almost beyond hatred. One example that is often played out here on Mercredi Mixtape is our distaste for Las Vegas corporate rockers The Killers.......

Over the past few weeks on Le Mercredi Mixtape, Torontoist has constructed several successful straw-man arguments, made a few ad-hominem attacks, and may have actually thought up some valid criticisms. But since there's too much free music and disparaging remarks to speak of this week, Torontoist abandons our essay format in favour of a more economical point form: - Did Pitchforkmedia steal excerpts from our interview with the Arcade Fire and then use them in......

Everyone is a bit sluggish and fat after such a nice holiday, so excuse our tardiness. You might not realise it, but you are probably much fatter than you were a month ago. Torontoist is not ashamed to say we got fat. But it's okay, all our fat went to our booty. On the subject of booty's, you can shake yours tonight at the Cloak and Dagger Pub (394 College), where the Mercredi Mixtape extends......

Last week, Torontoist was criticized for the inclusion of an Ol' Dirty Bastard song for the second time in the short run of our mixtape series. If this were a few years ago, Torontoist would have probably responded to the fairly legitimate beef by posting only ODB Mp3's today. But that was us then. Now, we take a cue from the populist French leader Jacques Chirac and take a more diplomatic approach to the problem.......
