Monday Roundup #81


Community notes:

  • The Music Gallery dropped a "save the dates" notification for this year's X Avant Festival, coming up on October 12 to 16th. No lineup announcements yet, but you should indeed head over to your calendar and, uh, save the dates! (and, similarly, Venus Fest announced their Festival — lineup included — for October 14-16, so you should take note of that as well!)

Bandcamp corner:

  • Technically speaking, this album came out ten years and a couple months ago, but I just noticed that I picked up a copy of the tape (packaged, natch, in a paper bag) at a gig ten years (and a couple weeks) back, so it seems like a reasonable excuse to look back a decade (!) to this classic slice of ZA. (And, P.S., on the topic, Carl Didur's new album drops this week!)

It happened this week...

  • ...on August 6, 2015 at Ratio.

Mermaids - The Humpback Whale

  • ...on August 7, 2015 at Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement (SummerWorks Music Series).

JOOJ - Ghost of Love
