I have honestly never had more fun at a show than at Faux Real‘s show last month and since then they‘ve been living rent free in the air head bnb of my mind.
think an alt pop Gen Z Backstreet Boys meets all of your favourite 80s film montage sequences crossed with the are they going to fuck or kill each other intensity of their dance routines and you’re part of the way there.

if you walked into my room at any given time between ages 12-16, this was 1000% on my screen. or ahs murder house.
thats not an exaggeration: this stupid little film was my way of life for years and years and years, my comfort watch.
its a classic that every emo kid has seen, surely, but i am certain that no sane human could possibly NOT respect/enjoy it even if you arent emo/never fw them.
a concert divided into two acts with a full fucking circus on tour with them. full burlesque dancer breaks and an intermission. most impressive of all? bassist (jon) is the oldest in this clip at like 21 i think? brendon urie was 18, ryan ross 19, spencer 16.
so brilliant it blows my mind every time

when i was in high school i paid $800 to this band from warped tour to play a show in my living room and it was so fun an intimate and chill. after we ate pizza and donuts and played mario kart. 10/10 would do it again in a heartbeat.
either that or 2014 when i saw the 1975 and grouplove play back to back at a festival.

nothing better than cramming yourself into a living room w/ 40 other people and gently wiggling around to midwest emo revival guitars on a saturday night

Does anyone else keep memory boxes?
These are old shoe boxes full of keep sakes which could be as silly as receipts from a holiday, letters from old friends, gig tickets, set lists from memorable shows, photos etc
I have quite a few of them now and am aware that if I keep on going like this, I’ll probably have an entire room full of boxes of these objects that possess a sentimental value. But will that be practical?
So I came up with an idea, an archival undertaking of sorts called ’Debris Of a Life’, where I whittle down my boxes to just one box to rule them all and with the keepsakes that don’t make the cut being scanned and documented via a zine. I’d imagine this could end up being a few volumes worth of material but there is something that has really caught my imagination with this style of scrapbooking being presented in my most favourite of all formats; the zine.
I will post more about this idea as it develops.

Don ’t you think that PI FYI is a bit like Wendy Cope’s poem The Orange if it was a social media platform? Everyone sharing and recommending the things that bring them meaning and joy in life. It’s so wholesome.
It’s been a minute but I have some time off this weekend so I will likely indulge some more of my thoughts and recs for the benefit of journaling.

Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake
and dress them in warm clothes again.
How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running
until they forget that they are horses.
It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,
it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio,
how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days
were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple
to slice into pieces.
Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it’s noon, that means
we’re inconsolable.
Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.
These, our bodies, possessed by light.
Tell me we’ll never get used to it.
