• We've got 15 more notable Toronto-related songs that did not quite make the shortlist for the #toronto100, over at the Toronto Star.


• This article on a dad who has a Depeche Mode covers band with his children is adorable. VICE reports.


• What happened to Giampiero Riggio, Italy's answer to Bon Iver? Vice reports.


• This James Bareham article at The Verge about how, rediscovering his 2002-era iPoD, he reacquainted himself with his preferred music of the period, is very readable.


• Alan Cross writes at Global News about the idea of a thirteen-year cycle, in which pop alternates with rock. Are we up for a rock-heavy moment?
