Community notes:
- I know I've said it before, but local critic Carl Wilson was a huge formative influence on what this place has evolved into. Zoilus, his old blog, introduced me to heaps of strange local sounds and the places you could hear them. At a time before I was really even going to those spots and those shows, that sense of familiarization made it easier to make the bold move to check them out — I can only hope I've made such things even a teensy bit more approachable for other folks. In any case, it was sweet to see a nod towards MFS in Wilson's latest substack dispatch talking about "weird-music season in TO", and it occurs to me I should mention to anyone reading this that y'all should be subscribed to his new-ish newsletter 'Crritic!', which takes a more expansive view on musical happenings, locally and internationally.
- And meanwhile, just a head's-up that Audiopollination's new sign up sheet for the Fall is ready, and filling in fast — so put your name down and go make sounds with some friendly strangers!
