Can you hear that buzz? It's coming from Toronto

Two new articles in some pretty savvy US publications extolling the virtues of Toronto's music and literary scenes respectively. The first is Carl Wilson's well-written and engaging two page spread on local boy-wonder Owen Pallett in the Sunday edition of the New York Times. Equally as savory is a piece by Anderson Tepper (Vanity Fair on-line) regarding the current literary buzz surrounding this city. Both are matched in their praise of a dynamic, urban centre chock full of great bands, stellar writers, ethnic diversity and good vibes.
