On April 1, Radiohead asked their fans to remix "Nude," one of the tracks from 2007's In Rainbows. Fans could buy any or all of the five "stems" of the song (voice, guitar, bass, strings/FX, or drums), create a version of their own, and upload it to radioheadremix.com. Two weeks later, and Toronto's own Holy Fuck sit comfortably on top of the 1,800 other mixes on the fan-voted list; Todor Kobakov—who has done string......

This week's listings offer quite the myriad of options for all you concert-goers, from Nada Surf at the Opera House this evening to the Music Gallery's fundraiser with Swedish sweetheart Jens Lekman, Final Fantasy, and Katie Stelmanis tomorrow at the Great Hall. Wednesday, April 9 offers both The Dodos at El Mocambo and a sold-out New Pornographers/Okkervil River show at the Phoenix. Pas Chic Chic (a French side project from members of Godspeed! You Black......

According to MuchMusic, Radiohead is on the verge of confirming details about their stop in Toronto––expected to be August 15 at the Molson Ampitheatre. The stop, on the second half of Radiohead's tour, comes in the wake of their latest album In Rainbows, which is neither the best album ever, nor the best album of last year (hello, Boxer), but is still pretty wonderful. While tickets aren't yet on sale (watch this space to......

A brief stint of Radiohead concert rumours spread like wildfires last week. Ticketmaster had announced that the band would play two shows on May 26 and 27 at the Air Canada Centre, but mentioned neither the date for the tickets to go on sale nor the price of the tickets themselves—the announcement was quickly removed from the site. This is not the first time Ticketmaster has announced a Radiohead show that did not exist, and......

Oh yes. There Will Be Blood is the latest film from P.T. Anderson (he of Magnolia and Boogie Nights). Set across turn-of-the-century America, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as a miner-turned-oil tycoon, and scored by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, the film is making pretty much everyone who loves movies lose their mind: Gaze upon its 95% on Rotten Tomatoes! Its 9.3 on IMDb! Its 382 Google results for "'there will be blood' 'best film ever'"! And it's......

When the weather is this shit the best thing to do is either hang out with friends at someone's house and tie one on, or go see a flick or two. Last night was time for the latter and the film was Rock The Bells. The film takes a funny, behind the scenes look at the trials and tribulations faced by a promoter trying to book the entire Wu Tang Clan for a live......

Musicians must really love our city; so many of them have made multiple trips to Toronto this year that there could be no other explanation. Or maybe they just like our money. Either way, Panic! At The Disco (P!ATD) brought their elaborate set and crew to the Ricoh Coliseum last night for the second time this year, not even six months after their first visit at the Molson Amphitheatre. As a person out of......

Does it seem a bit outrageous that NOW Magazine is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year? That blurry photo? That is a 1997 cover featuring Radiohead. Perhaps this Torontoist thought it only came into existence when our escape from the suburbs was made possible by later curfews and a driver's license. Well, the festivities are afoot and the fashion department is taking it to the streets with NOW's Designer Challenge. Designers are being asked......

Now, I'm no meteorologist, but that, my friends, is hail. Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Toronto. It looks like the worst of it is over, but it's been going quite cyclically since last night. Environment Canada says that the thunderstorms could escalate to torrential downpours with large hail, but should die down a bit by the evening. Here is the Environment Canada forecast for Toronto. Read up on hail formation......

Last night was the first of two sold out shows Radiohead are playing at the Hummingbird Centre, and it didn't disappoint. To those of you with tickets to tonight's show, have a really great time! If they play Fake Plastic Trees, I just may have to cry in my beer for not being there.......

Last night, Indiepolitik held their second 'Just' night overall, and their first this year. These 'Just' nights consist of just one song on repeat for the entire night. The first, a Just "Ace of Spades" night was covered extensively over at Zoilus. Last night was Just "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, and spontaneous head-banging did occur. TOist missed the first three hours but figured it was pretty much the same as the hour we spent at......

There is just so much good music to be found online and much of it as free and legal downloads. That's what Torontoist wants to share with you in these Le Mercredi Mixtapes and that's what *sixeyes share as well. So many artists, bands, and indie music labels offer mp3s that you could live in front of your monitor searching for new music. And Torontoist does.... here's what we've been living on lately. 1.......

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......
