Extra, Extra: A Capella Pop, Poutine Spectable Doesn’t Stop, and TIFF’s About To Drop

By David Topping

Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

• Mike Tompkins makes a capella versions of pop songs. You won’t want to like them, but you probably will. Above: Miley Cyrus’s “Party in the USA.” There’s also Owl City’s “Fireflies,” and a mashup of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” and Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are.” More from the Toronto-based artist (?) here.
• If photos from “Furious” Pete Czerwinski’s attempt to eat fifteen pounds of poutine in one sitting live on 102.1 The Edge weren’t enough, there’s video now.
• And hey, do you care about TIFF? Our coverage of the annual film festival, which’ll have started by this time next week, is ramping up now, but stay tuned for a little something extra—launching soon.
