Sing Me Spanish Techno

The New PornographersAccording to Pollstar, The New Pornographers show in Toronto for October 9th, originally booked at The Docks, has now been moved to the Phoenix. If this is true(Pollstar, please don't be wrong again), this is great news. Which'll mean move fast because, tickets should NOW go fast. Sorry, Docks but you suck. When I was writing this post earlier this evening, I was so excited about the prospects of seeing The 'Porns at the Phoenix that I went straight to Soundscapes and bought a ticket to the show. If this concert info turns out to be wrong, well I guess I'm going to The Docks. While I was at Soundscapes I also picked up the new CD "Twin Cinema". Actually, Soundscapes was giving away that limited edition 7-inch single with the new CD but the guy at the counter looked around for some and couldn't find any so had assumed that they were all gone. Just my luck.[BTW, did anyone get one of those 7-inches?] ...In related news, a crapload of reviews for the new album have been added to the media section over at the band's official website.

Central Village has an mp3 of The New Pornographers' "Sing Me Spanish Techno" for download if you'd like to sample the new album for yourself. Just don't mention the single "Twin Cinema" while you're there.

Spoon, American Music Club and Mary Timony(!) will be in Toronto at the Phoenix on November 1st. [info from Morecowbell]

Aperture Enzyme has a bunch of new videos for download of some recent live sets at indie shows in and around Toronto. Check out the old-fashioned around-the-campfire singalong on "Down By The River" by Jon-Rae Fletcher and The Choir.

Bryce aka Vitaminsforyou will be playing sax with Lullaby Arkestra at this Friday's show at the Horseshoe, which'll also feature sets from Great Lake Swimmers, akron/family, and Jon-Rae Fletcher and The River(it's their CD release). [info from vitaminsforyou's official blog]
