Some thoughts:

  • I am going to stop listing specific cancellations for now. At this point we should assume everything cancelled. When something is not cancelled and it’s noteworthy or an event has an interesting postponement strategy etc, I’ll make sure to list it.

  • I have to give a shout out to Platform & Stream - a daily newsletter about the digital music landscape which gave me some of the inspiration for this.

  • DO ME A BIG FAVOUR: this newsletter is hitting many of your spam filters - especially on Gmail. Please keep an eye out, and mark as ‘not spam’ in order to train the algorithm.

Stay calm and remember to breathe. :-)

Love,

Bas
