When it rains it pours: despite not many concerts this summer to get excited about, I’ve found myself in the middle of a pretty dense run of amazing shows this month. So far I’ve seen Stryper @ the Reverb Sunday night, Thursday night I caught Sufjan Stevens at Lee’s Palace here in Toronto, Sunday night I’ll check out Andrew WK doing his experimental solo piano thing at the music gallery, then Wednesday night Daredevil Christopher Wright is back in town at Free Times Cafe. And there’s still Dave Bazan and more to come! (Even Transiberian Orchestra!)

This week’s podcast includes: Ryan Dahle, Dan Mangan, Sea Wolf, Yukon Blonde, Ox, Taken by Trees, Shannon Stephens, Racoon Bandit and Schomberg Fair.
