The confirmed headliners were announced today for Toronto's second Virgin Festival, happening September 9 and 10, on Olympic Island. The top spots this year go to the (sort of) newly reformed Smashing Pumpkins, who will headline the festival on Day 2, and Iceland's most eccentric citizen, Bjork, who will close Day 1.

What is the reason that decent, law abiding, level-headed human beings can be so easily duped by The Killers?

All these Mixtapes and you barely even know me! So here I've cut-and-paste my Blogger Profile for you.

a little too much? Perhaps? At any rate, Chart Magazine is completely out of their element. Here's our mixtape...

The best way to compile a year-end list is to wait for everyone else's year-end lists before making any rash decisions. Not only does this method allow for appropriate deliberation, but also makes it easy to sidestep any of the poor choices made by other list-makers. For instance, upon scientific study of the P'fork singles list, Torontoist decided that both Beyonce's "Naughty Girl" and Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" can NOT be included singles of the year.
