Though the twitter scroll to the right suggests a rich banquet of exciting musicians can be seen and heard throughout these fair streets over the next week, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed. Surely the Toronto music scene offers more than vibrant young artists approaching or at the peak of their game performing in intimate settings with fantastic acoustics. It would be nice if there were a place, preferably outdoors where the sound bounces off in different directions, where one could pay through the nose to witness musicians well past their prime slog through playlists that would have been dated over a decade ago. What's that, you say? There is such a magical venue? (Raise hands to heavens)

side note: am willing to concede my snarkiness is perhaps overdone with respect to the first name on the list but les autres....non.

UPDATE: also, while i'm not a big bootleg music/video guy [side question: any really great/famous bootlegs that should change this opinion], this type of technology is appalling.
