Last weekend I went to see the band Erasure who played at the Sound Academy (used to be the Docks) here in Toronto. It was the first concert I had been to in a few years and was it ever good! Andy Bell can really sing (still) and they put on a fun show. The venue is right on the Toronto harbour and has a great view from the patio.
Here are a few of their songs that I like:

BrokeTO’s rant was funny. I find all this recycled advice tiresome as well.
Thanks for the mention Mike. Cheers!
Wow… did that ever bring back memories.
Thanks for the mention Mike!
Ah, The Docks, err, Sound Academy. That place brings back many, some, ok, just a couple of memories (of what I can remember) of my young professional days in Toronto.
Have a great weekend.
Wait, you saw Erasure? When was this post written? 1986?
