There's something about you, got me down on my knees

Those Metric show tickets for The Mod Club have been selling like hotcakes, so much so that the 21st and 22nd dates are sold out and they've added a third one for the 23rd(which is a Sunday) and in all likelihood will be an early one. [photo from Exclaim]

From Endearing Records: "Julie Doiron's live performance of "Snow Falls In November" will air on ZeD's "All Music Monday" episode on Monday January 17th. ZeD airs weeknights on CBC Television at 11:25pm after The National."

Cha Cha Charming, of all things girl-powered and pop-atastic, has added some new feature articles including one on everyone's(well some of us at least) current favourite 'it' girl, Keren Ann. Sheila at Cha Cha Charming also links to an mp3 of a cool little tune by Marxy, called "We Won't Be Sold" which sounds like a mixture of a lower scale-Polyphonic Spree and The Partridge Family. No, really it's pretty good.

Went by Rotate This after work to pick up a ticket to the Neko Case show at The Phoenix on January 16th. I also tried to pick up a ticket for the Keren Ann show at the Horseshoe in March but they weren't on sale yet. Patience folks, sooner or later, although tickets are already available through Ticketmaster.ca if you just can't wait.

20hz folks point towards a torrent of Broken Social Scene show in Switzerland.

I wish I had come across these fun Weezer-themed x'mas tunes in time for Christmas.[from weezer.com news update 12/25/04] In other Weezer news, the new single will be called "Beverly Hills" and is slated for release on March 21st in advance of their fifth album which should be released this spring(hopefully).[from weezer.com news update 01/11/05]

I came across Little Radio via a banner over at Pitchfork(who, btw, have returned from vacation). They are a Los Angeles internet-based radio station. There's some good streaming radio over at little radio that I was sampling tonight.[At the time of this post I was listening to Teenage Fanclub!] There's a radio program(Sundays 7pm-9pm [rebroadcast Fridays noon-2pm]; LA time) by 14-year old Zoë Rogers that I'm tempted to check out, especially after reading an article about her over at Spin. Shit, she's only 14 years old and she likes Ted Leo, Guided By Voices, Wilco and Pretty Girls Like Graves. How refreshing. Now, if only more young people could follow suit and lay off the Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson. Over at Little Radio you'll also find some games to pass the time, as well as mp3 downloads(including a download of Toronto band The Bicycles' "Cuddly Toy").
