Tuesday’s roundup of wondrous things that don’t mean leaving your house:
ONLINE FIND
■ Thousands of Miami locals had balcony seats Saturday night for a performance by superstar DJ David Guetta, who held forth from the rooftop pool area at Miami’s Icon Brickell hotel. Millions more tuned in online for the set as Guetta used the occasion to raise funds for the World Health Organization, Feeding America, Feeding South Florida and the Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris-Hôpitaux de France. Guetta had planned to match every dollar donated, and by Sunday the total had eclipsed $70,000. “I’m still buzzing from what was an incredible night shared with many,” Guetta said the next day “Thank you to everyone who joined and to those who were able to donate. Although this is a very unusual time, it was magical to connect with you all through music last night.” Here’s what it looked and sounded like:
■ Mondo Cozmo has posted its “Alive in Exile” version of the new single “Inside Out.”
NEWS DU JOUR
■ Bandcamp will again forgo its cut of revenue for sales this Saturday. The outlet did the same thing for one day last month and its effort resulted in $4.3 million in sales, all of which went directly to the artists.

■ The 1933 Group, owner of 11 establishments including Highland Park Bowl, both Bigfoot Lodges, the Sassafras Saloon and the Thirsty Crow, is taking a novel approach to fundraising: They’re selling “bonds.” Essentially gift certificates, the bonds are worth $100 in future purchases, and they’re being sold at a discount for $80. More information here.
■ DoLA— the popular website and email newsletter that’s a virtual city guide to all things music, arts and culture — is soliciting donations for its staff. Like many outlets who depend on marketing dollars (including this site), DoLA’s revenue has plummeted to zero because of the lockdown. Their plea is simple: help us stay in business.
