I’ve never read The Time Traveler’s Wife, but I think that after seeing the trailer for the movie adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s novel, I don’t think I really need to. It doesn’t appear that there’s any interesting bit of storyline left for the movie itself to reveal. That’s a shame, because I know that at [...]

I almost can’t believe that this is Kevin Drew on vocals. I’m not sure whether his best Ian Curtis was better left unsung, but Broken Social Scene do a very Broken-social-scened cover/tribute version of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” nonetheless. The cover is set for the soundtrack of The Time Traveler’s Wife, and [...]

"This Book is Broken" by Stuart Berman (House of Anansi Press) documents the history of Broken Social Scene. Berman had a unique perspective, having been friends with the nucleus of the group from the get-go, living in the same building that connected the band's founders, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning as it grew in acclaim. The result is better than a fly-on-the-wall vantage point of how Broke...

The super-group behemoth that is Broken Social Scene are back and ready to record a new album after four years. The respective artists of the band (ranging from members of Metric to the Apostle Of Hustle to Do Make Say Think) have all put their main musical distractions to one side and regrouped to create the follow up to 2005's fantastical self-titled full length.

Kevin Drew and his fellow Broken Social Scenesters performed an epic set at Chicago's Metro on November 11th, showcasing material from Drew's Spirit If... solo album. If you've never seen BSS live before, allow me to fill you in on what you're missing.If you happened to catch the slimmed-down version of Broken Social Scene at the Metro, then you were probably left with one indelible impression:...

I rarely post covers on this blog, but two have been floating through the interweb recently that I’m enjoying quite a bit. One is from the soundtrack to The Time Traveler’s Wife and it’s a cover of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Broken Social Scene. The other is Atlas Sound’s rendition of [...]

I had the pleasure of attending Sunday, during which I saw The Honey Brothers, Amanda Palmer, Mates of State, Broken Social Scene, Andrew Bird, and Spoon.The festival is a brand new idea arranged by three friends wh...

It would have to be a pretty special band to get me out to the dreaded Sound Academy for the always dreaded all ages show. But when the band in question is Broken Social Scene (whom I haven't seen for about two years now,) well, one has to set aside his own personal beefs and put forth the effort to be there. And what can I say?...the band once again proved themselves to be nothing short of epi...

I think I'm even more incoherent now than I was after the Raconteurs, but I can't sleep so I figured I'd do this while I'm still on that concert high.- Oh. My. God. If you haven't seen Broken Social Scene yet this year, do it. ASAP. Seriously. It's well worth the ticket price/gas money/plane ride. In fact, it pays dividends.- Land of Talk opened. Elizabeth Powell is great, especially on the gui...

The Cool Kids One thing Outside Lands seemed short of was some of the more rap and hip hop artists and electronic DJs selections. Unlike Coachella with its expansive electronic dance tent and Lollapalooza with an assortment of hip hop artists and dance stages, this festival was for the most part a lot of white folk and rock artists (even some forgotten ones- like Cake anyone?)- save a token rap...
