Sure, it's only a couple of days into 2007, but that doesn't mean we can't start making predictions of what musicians will be big this year. Don't feel ashamed if you haven't heard of Basia Bulat yet, but you might want to get on the bandwagon now so that you don't look like a fool later on. The incredibly gifted singer-songwriter from London, Ontario (but originally from Toronto) seems to be heading towards big things, with a steady Internet buzz building around her debut album Oh, My Darling. The album will be released in the UK in March by Rough Trade, but currently does not have North American distribution (which, quite frankly, smells).

This weekend you've got two big to-do's vying for your attention - on the mainland, Pride Toronto wraps up a week of festivities with party after party and loads of live music. The full list of performers is too expansive to get into, but it includes David Usher, Carole Pope and Rough Trade, Lesbians On Ecstasy and Gentleman Reg. More detailed schedules of performances and locations available here.
