Someday this space might be mostly concert listings again, but for now Monday roundups might include a romp through the MFS archives, 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!).
Community notes:
- Some good news for local music venues this week with the city making permanent a tax break program that dares to concede that the "highest purpose" of any given building in the city might not be a condo.
- Meanwhile, dark times at NOW, with an announcement that the paper would be cutting back to one print edition per month now followed by the announcement of its parent company's bankruptcy. The company is saying that the paper won't be affected in the immediate term, but the future is certainly not looking very promising. Even with the sense that it has slowly been losing vitality over the course of the pandemic (and before), it feels deeply sad to think about the loss of one of the few media outlets paying attention to local culture.
Livestream nation:
- Track Could Bend is back tomorrow (April 5th) with solos and a duo set from from Montréal's Sarah Albu (voice/walkie talkies) and Matti Pulkki (accordion). After the youtube premiere, the sets will remain available on the TCB playlist.
