An associative record shop in Toulouse offering punk, dub, no wave, handmade cassettes, zines, trading, mystery parcels, and tiny back-room concerts.

Why it surfaced

Court-Circuit feels less like a shopfront than a local music organism: its catalogue is updated by hand, concerts fit roughly thirty people, and a 40-copy risograph cassette comes with a zine. Even the quiz asks whether you belong in the pit, at the back, or beside the merch table.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
