Help me find some good blogs about Toronto.
What are your favorite blogs about in Toronto? I've checked out BlogTo and the Torontoist but I want to know more.
In Vancouver, I liked Only Magazine, which had decent concert, film, and art listings & reviews. Although it was pretty sarcastic and its album reviews read like Vice articles, onlymagazine has a pretty good finger on the pulse on wacky and depressing pre-2010 Olympics Vancouver.
I'm into music (indie rock, punk, noise, avant-guard/experimental, audio art, electro), underground comics, contemporary art & film, queer/trans issues. Help me find what's cool and going on in Toronto.

Joe Clark's blog bring "curmudgeon" to a new level. But it has good coverage on the specific issues that Joe takes an interest in (i.e. the TTC).
And you cannot miss MetaFilter's own Accordion Guy.
If you're into music the obvious - perhaps too obvious - choices are Now and Eye.
Daily Dose of Imagery is a fantastic photoblog by Sam Javanrouh in Toronto - the city is the subject of many of his photographs.

http://spacing.ca/wire/ is another fine local blog.
Not a blog, but for indie-music stuff, check out Stillepost toronto
Also not a blog, but for arts-goings-on, get on the Instant Coffee mailing list.
For experimental music, sign up for the Soundlist email list.

Chromewaves is a pretty good (mostly) Toronto-focused indie music blog.

Now and Eye both had RSS feeds that broke frequently and/or permanently. I now use the Torontoist and blogto.

On the upside, Eye and Now both have dead-tree feeds that work very reliably.
