found a band karly hartzman from wednesday was in around 2019 called diva sweetly, and i love it. honestly a really good power pop/emo album! i think its fun to look back and see where your faves started out and the growth of their music 😌 shoutout songview search and my curiosity
anything ethel cain- her new album, perverts, is such an awesome project. but songs like strangers, thoroughfare, sun bleached flies, inbred,,, i could go on. also muna, lucy dacus, boygenius (of course), and like. more than i could list really ! it‘s the middle of summer here- hottest on record for a while (#globalwarming 😭) but i’ve been feeling the more autumnal musical vibes (this being said, i love summer. do not get me wrong. summer is my girl. my FAV girl.)- but this means i’ve been putting on a bit of the slower, folkier, indie music. still a lot of upbeat stuff, but a bit more balance.

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
Come hang with some PI.FYI folks at Franklin Park in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on 7/19 @ 6:30. riotgrrrl and slowdazzle will be there too! Link is the Partiful invited!
