There's been some talk on the Headline Girl list about Toronto indie rock band Broken Social Scene - I was really surprised but totally thrilled to see them figure in some people's year-end top ten lists... Most of you will have no idea who they are, but it's the best-reviewed Canadian album of the year, and you'll all be hearing a lot more about them very soon, I predict. Anyway, they're one of my favourite bands right now, and while they sound absolutely nothing like Emm or Sarah, there's long been evidence of musical adventurism on both these lists, so I urge folks who like sprawling indie rock to check them out. Well, what do they actually *sound* like, you ask? Uh, well, theres no adequate description of that, exactly, as the 'band' itself is an amorphous collective of some of the best Toronto indie-rock players that constantly changes (its core members are Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, ex of By Divine Right), and not a single song on their new album, "You Forgot It In People", sounds the same. I call them a 'rock orchestra', which is slightly silly but apt. ;-) Anyway, the point of this post is that they're on the cover of eye Weekly and the Toronto Star's What's On section today, so you can read all about 'em there or online: http://www.eye.net http://www.thestar.ca And the reason for the splashy coverage is their CD release show *tonight* at Lula Lounge (way out on Dundas West, but don't let that scare you ;)) - it's gonna be packed, but if you're interested in the Toronto scene and don't mind checking out something that's a little out of the ordinary, I highly recommend dropping in on the show.

The best thing about CBC-TV's "Play" is that it's taped live in the Palavrion restaurant next to the CBC headquarters (at the foot of Front & John), and a live audience is more than welcome, so if you're in Toronto, do show up next Thursday (18th) at 10:30 p.m. to help cheer Emm on! Let's get a Headliner posse out... ;) - - Tab :) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 21:53:20 -0800 (PST) From: "AK" Subject: OAC: Broken Social Scene Yeah, they made my top 10 on the Headline Girl list - have not stopped listening to it since I picked it up awhile ago. I love the diversity of the CD. Wish I could see them live but I reside in Vancouver!

Lucas" Subject: Re: Emm on TV in Canada! For you US fans, 'Play' also airs on a channel called Newsworld International (I think it may be Canadian-owned). So if you have digital cable or a satellite, chances are you get the channel! Mirah > Hi everyone, > Emm will be on the CBC late night show called Play on December 19th. Catch her if you can, and tape the show for the deprived U.S. fans! ;) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 15:07:16 -0800 (PST) From: "laura a. robeson" Subject: NEC: GASCD Happy Friday the 13th Headliners, just wanted to share this with you...

That would make the taping on Wednesday if I'm not mistaken. Can you clarify this for us Tab. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tab Siddiqui" To: Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 12:34 AM Subject: Re: Emm on "Play" > Hey, all... > > The best thing about CBC-TV's "Play" is that it's taped live in the > Palavrion restaurant next to the CBC headquarters (at the foot of Front & > John), and a live audience is more than welcome, so if you're in Toronto, do > show up next Thursday (18th) at 10:30 p.m. to help cheer Emm on!
