Construction trucks leaving Bloor and Islington area after being successfully deterred from starting work on removing bike lanes in Toronto by a large protest.

It’s easy: 1. Abbey Road 2. Revolver 3. Hard Days Night 4. White Album 5. Rubber Soul 6. Please, Please Me 7. Pepper’s 8. Help 9. For Sale 10. Let It Be 11. With

not many records better than this one imo

my feeling after reading this story:

According to the Meta memory machine, six years ago tonight, I attended my first post-COVID-lockdown concert, held on the rooftop of a parking garage with chairs set up six feet apart and The Sadies performing behind plexiglass. Feels like 60 years ago.

NEWS: My new investigation uncovers the horrific ChatGPT history of the Tumbler Ridge school shooter. OpenAI’s chatbot fueled the shooter's violent fantasies and plans up to the day of the massacre. Chats about guns, timing of attacks, becoming infamous, and more. www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

If anyone is wondering....

I hope they sue the pants off of them! but I also want to caution musicians that you will be sorely disappointed if the problems with gen AI are only challenged on the grounds of intellectual property.

New from me. I saw that the very smart @kevincarmichael.bsky.social wrote a trade war column that referenced the Ottoman siege of Malta in 1565, so I decided to counter him with a reference to Wile E. Coyote.

I joined Laura Stanley from the Big in Canada podcast to talk can con, Canadian popular music, and satellite radio. The episode dropped today: tr.ee/8C-yRqGIUC

it's happening

yes a homeschooled person

charli album deeply relatable because i also deem songs finished when i am faced with having to write a bridge.

if you don't think all of this ends with mark carney throwing up the triangle hands, i don't know what to tell you

angine de poitrine IS brat

about to complete the hat trick

Kid1, who is both an conductor and engineer for CN and has driven trains through SK wildfires himself, just sent me this video from Ontario. When I tell you they arent paid enough!!! vt.tiktok.com/ZSXkuEadE/

Ah, it’s “you actually live in hell now” hot…

toronto! come help me celebrate the launch of my book, A Nation of Tinkerers. i'll be in conversation with Melissa Vincent to talk about the book's subjects and themes, and @dianachanmcnally.bsky.social will be treating us all to some CanCon disco classics. 7:30pm, July 28th at Osler Records.

the sax riff from run away with me is ready....

re: Turnstile tickets being way for more expensive in Toronto than most U.S. dates. I would love it if we had a more robust music press that not only reported on it but also asked why.

there should be cigarette-level visual warnings on all suno/ai music products...shame the people signing up for this and make those consuming it feel bad about themselves for doing so.

Insane crowd for Angine de Poitrine at the Montreal Jazz Fest. There were kids yelling, old people in polka dots, hipsters, punks, rock guys… such a wonderful mix.

For @exclaimdotca.bsky.social, I wrote about the "emo revival" era of the 2010s having its own revival now, thanks to a combination of TikTok virality and a continuing tradition of new bands honouring the ones that came before. exclaim.ca/music/articl...

An exciting nod for our awesome team.

This descriptive, thoroughly reported and very troubling essay about the separatist movement in Alberta by @marcellodicintio.bsky.social is critical reading for Albertans. Great journalism in the public interest. Among the Separatists via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

full @bigincanada.bsky.social recap of the 2026 JUNO Awards out today....where we boldy ask, who are these awards for?

juno justice for lou-adrianne cassidy now

Importantly, Avi Lewis is the first former MuchMusic VJ to be a federal party leader.

why are some of the world's most famous and wealthy entertainers not spending a weekend in Hamilton in March? We may never know

i do not think it matters that these people skip the junos. but i do think that jurors should not bother voting for them.

A few thoughts: 1. Extremely Alberta-coded. Was Tate also at the meeting in the SCIF? Would love to know. 2. Unbelievable they are gonna waste a bunch of Junos on her next month.

"bring it on", said bry to...the hail storm.

This Ohtani-to-Vlad transition by the FOX crew meets the moment.

It's an impossible tale. A long defunct Canadian nu metal band went from lost media to viral success in just two years. That band is Nervepitch and this is their story: numetalagenda.com/feature/nerv...

thrilled to have @nojoy.bsky.social on @bigincanada.bsky.social this week to discuss "Mimi" by Lili Fatale, Katy Perry, Musique Plus, the long shadow of France, clown and lots more. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/l...
