Hey Toronto! Yuli’s taking a break this week. Her version of break was to provide me with a STACKED list of all the cool things that are going on, leaving me to sort out and pick the best and give them to you, in an easily digestible format, where you... More
Hi Toronto, Moving into the digital age, what would you do if you were an organization that has spent the last 30 year commissioning new pieces of music? Soundstreams has done an incredible thing by creating a site and iPad app that let’s you explore their body of work. It’s... More
Hi Toronto, The Toronto Comic Arts Festival; this is a Con I can get behind! I said it last year here in C&R and I’ll say it again: there’s a fissure that divides the comics world. One side is the oddly named Genre Comics and the other is Art Comics.... More
Hi Toronto, The Month of May brings us the CONTACT Photography Festival. It ushers in the food and music festival season nicely and I love it for how it unwittingly and inauspiciously exposes the public to contemporary photography. It never fails that at least one friend a year will mention... More
Hi Toronto, Maylee Todd, for those who don’t know, is an incredibly engaging, mesmerizing, captivating song-maker and performer. No one captures the essence of this crazy adventure we call life better than Maylee and her collaborators. When I think of her I see visions of play, summer, sweetness, and bliss.... More
Hi Toronto, I know most of you skim these love letters we post before the jump, so you might not have a sense of who we are as people. The first question 90% of people ask upon first meeting is how to spell my name, but the second question is... More
Hi Toronto, Change is scary. And it’s hard to say goodbye. But not all change has to mean goodbye. That’s the hope when it comes to Miracle Thieves. The humans behind the multi-purpose creative space that’s been living in a beautiful glass, brick & mortar space, nestled quietly on the North side of Dundas, across from Trinity Bellwoods... More
Hi Toronto, Independent book stores are fading from our landscape little by little everyday so it’s nice to see that the Cook Book Store is celebrating 30 years this Saturday. 30 years as a niche bookstore is no small feat (though food people are an enthusiastic and loyal bunch). There will be cake, undoubily, from the finest... More
Hi Toronto, Canadian Music Week (and/or Fest) is over, and it’s sort of odd that the kind of high caliber shows I wish I had seen as part of last week are in town now. Take San Francisco by way of Ottawa lo-fi Queen of Burger Records, Peach Kelli Pop at... More
Hey Toronto Sorry to mention the weather again, but I’m sure you’re all about as sick of this un-Springy, fluffy snowglobey, beautiful yet infuriating long Winter bullshit as I am… so hopefully you’ve been and will be more able and willing to get your sun-deprived selves out into the city... More
Hi Toronto, Did you know Casa Loma has the distinction of being one of 10 castles in Canada? Touring Casa Loma is probably something that all of us have said we should do, but if we visited it was when we were 4 feet tall, and possibly too young for... More
Hi Toronto, I’m sure some of you can appreciate what it takes to make Central & Remote happen every week. We sift through press releases, newsletters, invites and listings to try and bring you nothing but gem options for your precious weekends. But let’s be honest. There are a lot... More
