Monday Roundup #75

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:

  • You know about SoundList, right? "SoundList is an E-mail newsletter devoted to announcements of free-improvisation, experimental music and sound art events in the Toronto area." When it returned after a pandemic hiatus a little while back, it felt like one of the forces that bind the community together had returned, although getting the machine up to speed meant that there were some issues with the web front-end where you could subscribe. It looks like that's fixed now, so it you're not getting SoundList in your inbox every week, I really urge you to go here and change that. There's been a lot of talk lately about how tough it is to hear about shows, so we should all be using a viable resource that's already in place!

Video hits:

  • You might have to watch this new one from Badge Époque Ensemble twice: once to absorb the song, and then again to follow the band/local music history lesson, provided by local stalwart Jay Anderson
  • It's always a delight when there's new music from Man Made Hill — and even moreso with the news that his Mirage Repair will be released by Orange Milk Records on July 15th.
