Not current, but fun! Also the first Diet Cig album.
I like lots of indie music. The ones I rec most are Pom Pom Squad, the Ophelias, Beach Bunny. I have lots more if you like any of those!

Why ? Because
-stereotypical theater child
-is told he’s mature for his age, and now at 25 he writes poop jokes for a living
-performs plays (not musicals he can’t sing) around Kansas up until high school
-realizes quickly theater is not in fact “cool” as his mom would describe
- he trudges on until a traumatic family event sends him into a existential abyss of self questioning
-goes to college for film in California on scholarship
-completely reinvents himself to match his surroundings ditching the stereotypical theater persona (KC Austin I call him)
-falls into heavy self medication and begins to have panic attacks (cute!)
-Covid 19 happens (lol)
-goes home
-graduates school and moves to L.A
-is now trying to figure out how to get back to KC Austin
-so far so good!
