On July 11th Broken Social Scene were due to play their famous almost yearly Toronto Island show, unfortunately due to a Toronto work strike they had to cancel.  As BSS always seems to do, they got lemons and made champagne.  To keep their strong fan base happy they decided on a free show at the Harbourfront stage.  It is already being remembered as one of the greatest shows they have ever put on.  As it became a makeshift This Is Your Life  the crowd got as crazy as ever for their hometown band.

More after the jump including a fan shot mash up of Kevin Drew’s Safety Bricks and Feist’s I Feel It All…they’re dating btw!

Wilco (The Album) includes the first duet to be featured on a Wilco album, “You and I”, which was recorded with Canadian indie folk singer Feist.The band met Feist at the 50th Grammy Awards and found they had a mutual appreciation for each others’ music.

I’m not really in love with this song but I felt I should post this. They really don’t showcase her voice…what does indie mean? Feist is on Interscope.
