In the absence of concert listings, my regular Monday dispatches have fallen off. After bringing some life to the blog with the "bumping into" series, I figure I should get back in the groove. I'm guessing that this will be a bit like what used to get shoved into the end of the post when I was doing listings — some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!). Plus maybe a look back through the MFS archives.
Community notes:
- It looks as if after much dithering that some manner of vaccine passports are coming to Ontario, which might give some sense of security and procedural clarity to show-goers as well as folks who put on events. Stay tuned for news for how this all unfolds in practice. Hopefully safer gatherings will be a possibility as summer starts to wind down — but there's plenty of nice weather for park hangs ahead of us yet.
Video hits:
- Labyrinth Ontario has shared the first of this year's series of Modal Music in the Parks videos, this one featuring some North Indian Classical sounds from Pankaj Mishra (sarangi) and Tanjeer Alam (tabla) — and click the link above to dig in a little deeper, including interviews with the artists:
