Are you still heartbroken about not getting your fill of Britrock in the past week? As ever, when it rains it pours. Since Saturday, you’ve had twee pop, punk, and dance rock, all from our onetime colonial overlords. On Thursday, you’ll can find the Subways bring a slightly different flavor flavour of tranatlantic rock to our shores. With their garagier, straightforward rock out style, they are a great fit for the bill at the Crocodile, where they’ll open for local sensations, the Divorce. Expect an ultra-enthusiastic stage presence, that song you heard on the O.C., and a strong possibility of extended stage diving and fist-pumping.

If you’re all Englanded out and find youreslf looking for entertainment from another corner of the Commonwealth, just head up the hill. It seems that Broken Social Scene has de-collectiveized for the moment, yet several the members seem to be following each other around the country with their other projects. Metric & Jason Collett were here earlier in the week, and tomorrow Feist (a.k.a. the cutest girl in all of indie rock {sorry Stereogum readers [#], you were close but not quite right}) will be at Neumo’s with her band. Who else has the looks, voice, and talent to turn a song about real estate into one of the heartwarmingest tracks of the year?

If you’ve seen her perform before, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You probably already have a ticket. For the rest of you, click over to that website and listen to a couple of tracks. Then go, see the show, and melt into a puddle of goo. Her songs are smooth and catchy, often like something from some unspecified time in the more glamorous past in a smoke-filled lounge. But even in this era of lungsafe shows (one tiny thing that I’m looking forward to upon returning from Amsterdam), she will still have you swaying in your shoes, singing along, and generally eating out of her hand.

Still trying to decide? More than a few Feist tracks can be found on the internet [hype-machine] as can an assortment of songs from the Subways [hype-machine].
