You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
Zacht Automaat (Prince Nifty) / Double Double Land 2014-07-11 (Friday) [FB event]
What can I say, but this is a no-brainer? ZA shows are always special occasions because of their semi-annual-ish nature, and Carl Didur will also be dropping his new Nothing Is The Secret To Anything tape at the show. Plus: Prince Nifty, back from touring the world with Final fantasy. Oh, and "an interlude of magic".

Album corner:
Jeunesse Cosmique, Montréal purveyors of weird music and community vibes, have just released C'est tripping creatures!, a sprawling new compilation that you can grab on their bandcamp. It's subtitle ("stoner idm weird beats!") gives you a hint of what to expect, but there's really quite a lot of diversity to be found here. Besides JC standbys like YlangYland and Téléphone Maison, T.O is represented with some tasty new stuff from Bile Sister and Mas Aya, and there's plenty of new discoveries to be made — I'm already educating myself about Two-Year Carnival, for example.
