Dave, I'm a wee bit older and remember buying imports from the Record Peddlar when it was on Queen St. E, between Church and Jarvis. I loved that place. Old creaky wooden floors and the smell of the plastic dust jackets mixing with, well, dust. One of the great early bars was the Turning Point on Bloor Street, upstairs. And I remember dragging my bass there after lessons to drink cheap beer (underage) and watch fledgling punk bands. Toronto was a great incubator for punk (and all types of alternative music, actually) and it's definitely left it's mark on me and how I approach life too.
PS - love the new blog look, Dave! I'll miss you at #pcmtl this weekend.

Thanks Adele. I just started reading the book (which comes with red vinyl, a CD and the movie!), which I bought at the screening last night, about the history of Youth Brigade. I had no idea that the Stern brothers were actually born in Toronto! Too cool. http://www.byorecords.com/index.php?page=band_n...
