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:
- A glimpse of where we'll be here in four to six weeks? It remains really hard to tell week-to-week what's going to feel safe and acceptable when people head back for shows and events, and that leaves a lot of uncertainty for the folks running those venues.
Concert listings:
- Alex Samaras + Friends / Island Cafe 2021-08-06 (Friday). $pwyc. [FB event]
In the Mix:
- A new drone mix, with sounds from John Oswald vs The Grateful Dead (but not in the way you might think), ghostly folk songs from Sarah Davachi and Shirley Collins, plus drifts from Cares, Robert Ashley, Azaleas, Jaap Vink, and Boron.
Bandcamp corner:
- Is it Bandcamp Friday? If you are reading this on Friday (August 6th) then the answer is yes! If it's not Friday yet, you have some time to get your lists sorted out and get ready to put some money in the pockets of artists you dig. Here's a couple things on my list:
It happened this week...
- ...on August 8, 2009 at The Horseshoe Tavern.
St. Vincent - Save Me From What I Want
- ...on August 5, 2010 at The Drake Underground.
Powerhouse Sound - Exit-Salida
