Matthew Barber: Competition Results
A winner of the Matthew Barber competition (see here) has been drawn. And the winner is (cue drum roll)...Rob Shostak. A hearty congratulations to you, a copy of Matthew's album is on its way. The rest of you have promotional CDs coming your way as well. Enjoy.
Incidentally, you were all rubbish at listing the best 3 concerts you saw in Toronto this year. The one solitary person who actually did, listed 3 concerts, but these all took place in chuffing Hamilton. For reference (and since this was the only response I got) these were:
Great Lake Swimmers w/ Final Fantasy at The Casbah
Silver Mt Zion at The Casbah
The Rest w/ Cuff at The Duke
For what it's worth, my choices are:
Caribou & Four Tet at Toronto Opera House
Medeski Martin and Wood at Nathan Philips Square (as part of the Toronto International Jazz Festival)
Holy Fuck at The Mod Club

toronto, i love you too...
Keane @ Massey Hall in May
Hawksley Workman @ The Rivoli in April
(secret shows in which he previewed potential tunes for his next album)
And a toss up between U2 in September and Depeche Mode in December (both at the ACC) would round out the list.
I can't really list the best local indie acts I've seen this year ... there were many, many good ones (for the first time in a long time)!
cough cough, i did list Sufjan as the best concert I've ever been to... Sexy Sufjan singing in a Church... mmhmmm.
