In honour of the Blue Birds clinching today, here’s a little mashup of the Jays and Rush from their opening game in 1977 ⚾️
On this day in 1967, Ravi Shankar made his Toronto debut at Massey Hall, 3 months after being introduced to western audiences at the Monterey pop festival. His classical Indian sitar would have a major influence on several artists of the generation including the Beatles.
👉🏻 Imagine for a moment a west Ontario Place that DID NOT include Toronto’s 350th spa, a swath of pavement with surveillance cameras and private security, a 2,000-car parking garage, or a 95-year lease.
Imagine a public park that could be built at a fraction of the cost of the current plan. Imagine a public park that was FREE for all regardless of socio-economic status. Imagine a park that had a bit of infrastructure so people could go to the bathroom or buy a pineapple spritzer or a Montreal bagel. Imagine a park that could accommodate the occasional special event: think Mariposa or Wavelength or Electric Island. No noise complaints, just sunsets. Imagine those gorgeous sunsets. Imagine having a public park for rest. For nature. For music. For community. A place with trees, trails, and grass. A place to hear that guy play Wonderwall on his acoustic guitar for the 2000th time LOL.
It is time to say NO to Ford’s plan to destroy west island and it’s 850 trees. It’s time to say NO to $200 massages at @thermecanada We need a thoughtful master plan and environmental study just like they did in Montreal with the beautiful Parc Jean-Drapeau. Let’s not squander this opportunity. For more info follow @ontarioplace4all 🌳 🌳
Two weeks ago we released our first mixtape, NORTH STARS CLASSICS VOL I, a love letter to the ‘90s underground. Inspired by Power Move, and a tribute to all the MC’s who helped build the city. If you haven’t given it a listen, do yourself a favour and click the link in our bio. Here’s the illustrious track list with some of our country’s most legendary artists. Co-curated by @sethandmax and mixed by @djkmatic look out for volume II soon! 🔥 🎧
👉🏻 The Real Jerk deserves its rightful place in Toronto music history. Standard playbook was to go there for dinner 2-3 hours before an Opera House show, and you’d likely be eating oxtail and rice beside whoever was playing that night. I remember eating at a table right beside The Roots before one of their shows. And of course, the Gerrard restaurant was the location of the “Work” video, which as of this writing has 1.3B views [Poster from their grand opening in 1988] 🇯🇲
Looking back to the Bud Stage summer season, here’s the setlist for the QoTSA show nicked by my pal @dave_mcfarlane_ Interestingly the band deviated from the set list when you compare it to setlist.fm. A few people have told me this was the Bud Stage show of the year. Anybody know what the C and E indicate? Who was there? ⚡️
#OTD in 1987, Pink Floyd performed the second of two shows at Exhibition Stadium for the “Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour 🎸
