stv's NXNE'08: Thursday
I decided to kick off NXNE 2008 by going to the Big Bop (651 Queen West @ Bathurst) so I could bounce between Holy Joe's and Reverb to take in as much as I could. I showed up just in time to catch the first song by Toronto's The Books Elusive upstairs at Holy Joe's. This high energy duo proved…
The Healthy Butcher
The opening of a new location for The Healthy Butcher at Avenue and Eglinton had me pretty excited. If you like buying meat from a butcher but expect them to be able to answer a question or two about where the meat actually came from, this is certainly a welcome addition to the city's butcher…

NXNE Preview: The I Spies
Interviewing Toronto's The I Spies was one of the more surreal experiences I've had leading up to North by Northeast. On a three-way call with singer/guitarist/keyboardist Johnny Kay (in his kitchen "cooking up a whole mess of farfalle pasta") and lead guitarist/singer/keyboardist James Roberston…
Road Trip: An afternoon walk in Quebec City
Arriving in Quebec City in the middle of the afternoon, my second stop on my way to Fredericton, I was immersed in the city’s history before I even saw its skyline, with a radio station dedicated to promoting the city’s heritage playing in the car – Quebec’s Tourism Radio, FM…
