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:
- I'm generally bemused by the fact that in the mind of the general public (and probably no few political decision makers), a "concert" is some immense spectacle by definition ("It typically takes seven to 25 trucks, 15 tour buses and a staff of up to 120 to stage a world tour...") but here's a dispatch from the general media on the state of the "music industry reopening". Not much consideration given to how small numbers of people in small rooms will fit in, but I guess one can still glean some outlines of how things might be looking indoors after summertime.
Video Hits:
- This new one from Ducks Ltd. (from their forthcoming Modern Fiction album) hits me right in my C-86-ified heart.
Livestream nation:
- Defiantly not a livestream, but instead an attempt at "a dynamic parallel format" (or even "a paranormal phenomenon"), the Multilocation Festival (curated by Nick Storring for the Canadian Music Centre) brings together a whole bunch of this space's fave performers (including Rob Clutton, Colin Fisher, Nicole Rampersaud, Christina Petrowska-Quilico, Andrew Wedman, Dame Cook, Jessica Ackerley, and Rose Bolton) in a variety of audio/visual experiences starting tonight (Monday, July 11th) and stretching out over the next couple weeks. There's a whole variety of exciting things on tap, including some promising cross-fertilizations like the unveiling of the Understory Series (which, I assume will involve filling in some more concrete details here) as well as a relaunch celebration for the Rat-drifting label (about which, more below).

Bandcamp corner:
- This week sees the long-awaited return of one small-but-significant corner of our local creative music history to circulation with the arrival of the Rat-drifting label on Bandcamp. This brings into easier circulation a whole series of closely-overlapping projects (see my mostly-accurate visualization below) even including some new releases from the archives.
