T.O. music notes

Delivered with Love

Bahamas, aka Afie Jurvanen, might’ve found the way to curb music piracy: hand-deliver your albums to fans via Craigslist. Last week the mellow singer/songwriter posted an ad for his new record, Bahamas Is Afie, on the popular classified ad website, selling just three vinyl copies for $20 each ahead of the August 19 release date. The accompanying photo showed him straight-faced in a hoodie, holding the album. One of the successful buyers was Katie Fotheringham, whom Jurvanen met in a Toronto baseball field to hand over the sonic treasure.

Gibb’s Gay Goth Scene

Zine collectors take note: the Hidden Cameras’ Joel Gibb has released a new issue of Gay Goth Scene, available at Printed Matter in New York City. Gibb originally and anonymously made two editions of the black-and-white zine with artist Paul P in the early 00s under the noms de plume Raven and Bones. The 24-page third edition is the first GGS in over a decade and costs $8. Fun fact: the band has a song of the same name on current album Age. printedmatter.org/events/231
