In the absence of concert listings, my regular Monday dispatches have fallen off. After bringing some life to the blog with the "bumping into" series, I figure I should get back in the groove. I'm guessing that this will be a bit like what used to get shoved into the end of the post when I was doing listings — 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!). Plus maybe a look back through the MFS archives.
Community notes:
- It's been over a year of [gestures vaguely] "all this". Keep your chin up, stay safe, and think on how we may yet see each other anon.
It happened this week...
- ...on March 26, 2011 at NOW Lounge (a No Shame All-Ages matinee).

Bandcamp corner:
- A new album from Vallens sees the band digging deeper into their penchant for smouldering rather than exploding — imagine a slow-dance night at a goth club, and your DJ is ready to bust out your fave Portishead track.
- The folks at Idée Fixe records are getting behind this, which caused me to pay attention. Gently-rootsy with the sort of mind-meld close harmonies that you'd often associate with "family" acts like the McGarrigles or Roches. Strongly-recommended for anyone who misses underappreciated locals The Pining.
