    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Word on the street is that they're breaking up soon. Can't remember where I read it, but Kevin Drew mentioned in a recent interview that each member is too busy with solo careers and side projects for them to stay together. He said they might still be able to record together in the future, but they probably won't be able to tour anymore. I haven't been able to see them live yet, so hopefully I can catch them before they hang it up.

    to lose Broken Social Scene and the Rheostatics in the same year would be truly tragic.....

    from Pitchfork:

    "Calm down, people. Broken Social Scene are NOT breaking up. A little while ago, it was reported by various publications that the Canadian collective will go on hiatus after a fall American tour.

    According to the band's publicist, the hiatus will be exactly that-- a well-deserved break. No "indefinite" Sleater-Kinney steez here, just a bit of time off after an intense year or so of touring. Which makes total sense."

    The journalist in me decided to do some digging, and I found this article from Chartattack.com. I might be reading too much into this, but to me it sounds like a little more than a hiatus, especially this part:

    "While forthcoming about the reasons for the impending break, Drew offered no hint about when, if ever, fans could expect a Broken Social Scene reunion or new album."

    yeah - that doesn't sound very promising....if they announce an upcoming show at Massey Hall we know its the end

    as far as I know, the band will be hiatus so that individual members can pursue solo projects and other ventures...they will be back (eventually)...

    expect new Do Make Say Think, Apostle of Hustle, Feist, Kevin Drew and Jason Collett (maybe) records out in 2007...

    i would be legitimately upset if they broke up. out of all the bands i've discovered in the past few year, this is my fav.

    you forgot it in people is up there with yankee hotel foxtrot and source tags and codes as the best indie rock album to come out in the last 5 years.

    after seeing them live last week and watching them all up there on stage...i'm confident i could bring someone who has no idea who they are and never heard a song and they would enjoy it. that's saying something.

    I saw them in Providence on 11/8. Great time great show as noted. Do Make Say Think was a blast too.

    barring some technical issues vocal wise at the start BSS was good. JMass. from Dino. Jnr came out for 2 songs as well.

    I ran tape fro both DMST and BSS.

    They said a few times "this is it for a while folks".

    I’m basis of course. He’s one of my favorite actors. :) But yeah the movie was good. He plays a crack head who’s a teacher during the day. One of his students gets pulled into dealing. So just imagine how that ends up. I think the DVD is out in January.
