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:
- Heading into fall, here's a nice roundup from Rich Trapunski on the outlook for events in the next couple months.
- By the way, did you happen to notice that I posted my first live recording in nearly eighteen months yesterday?
- And in the department of #weloveitwhenourfriendsbecomesuccessful, what a delight to see this profile of Brandon Valdivia previewing the forthcoming Mas Aya album in a little-known newspaper called the New York Times.
Video hits:
- This Wes Anderson-esque video (matching group coveralls!?) gives us a peak ahead at Charlotte Cornfield's forthcoming Highs in the Minuses:
Bandcamp corner:
- Rick White's bandcamp page continues to be a sterling mix of new material and archive digs, and this new one album is a sweet addition. More lush than you might guess from its solo, home-recorded description, this is mostly filled with short'n'sweet gently-psychedelic bursts — but the extended coda of closer "Where It's Fine" sticks around and rocks out in a most satisfying manner as well.
- Heidi Chan's Bachelard project has been releasing a steady stream of music during pandemic times, often in the form of EP's and singles that don't stick around any longer than necessary to explore a modular synth patch or other sonic idea — and there's an admirably minimal (or ascetic?) principal in place for this pairing of tracks:
It happened this week...
- ...on September 17, 2010 at The Piston (The Pigeon EP release show).
- ...on September 16, 2011 at The Horseshoe Tavern.
