Monday Roundup #76

Community notes:

• In case you were wondering what the Toronto Music Advisory Committee has been up to over the pandemic, the minutes for their last meeting includes this handy list of "Actions and Accomplishments" (click through to find the full document as a PDF.) With so much on the city's plate and new faces forecast after the upcoming civic election, we'll see how forceful TMAC is in the next term, and how much "community" is folded into its "industry" framework.

Bandcamp corner:

• With so much stuff being released and then shifted aside for the next new thing (especially over the course of the pandemic, when even the attention-grabbing album release shows were often skipped) I'm going to dip back here and re-post a couple of my fave albums from last year. Thoughts of both of these were spurred on by the welcome sight of shows from both of these artists (see above).
