I went to a festival and saw The Dare, A.G. Cook and Charli XCX back to back. I danced like crazy, cried and smoked weed and cigarettes and honestly had the best time. People is dismissive of electronic music (I am!) but these three are absolutely masterful. The lyrics!!!!!!!!!! Listen to the lyrics!!!!
Girl, So Confusing and Everything Is Romantic Live were INSANE.

janelle monae in 2013(?) and she was electric (pun intended)
remi wolf (supported by dora jar) was a great show, very fun, smiled the whole time
caroline polachek, was the last gig the day before the first lockdowns in 2020 and then i caught covid (so did caroline so my headcancon was that i caught it from her) and saw Sophie in the flesh in the crowd
and the best as of recent was tune-yards, one of the most vibrant, high energy shows with one of the most excited and in-the-moment crowds of any gig i've been too - waited 10 years to see them and they did not disappoint

caught them during the deceiver tour back in 2019. I remember thinking they were good, but nothing crazy. Their current tour has shown so much improvement it’s insane. i always love seeing the same band perform a number of times over the years because you get to watch them evolve in real time. i don’t know how to describe the difference other than imagine if there was a “sick’” knob on the audio equipment that they had turned up medium back in the day & now had fully cranked up. Played incredibly tight & integrated a really involved visual element (a lot of experimental video stuff).
TBH the video was cool but kind of detracted from the experience of watching them perform. I felt like the story they were trying to tell was drenched in this above it all every-direction critique of American empire via this post-ironic rendition of conspiracy-culture. don’t get me wrong, it was cool and funny at points. But sometimes you can have something that’s funny and cool & still have it subtract from the overall intended effect. Like I get it you’re very smart and very funny and you’re really showing off right now, but you’re distracting me! You’re overloading me! Being even more honest, I should probably take my own advice on this issue LOL. I wouldn’t even necessarily recommend that they change anything about the show. I guess it’s better to be doing a lot and err on the side of maximalism while saying something unique and cool than to play it safe! Sorry if this is rambling, I’m just trying to collect my thoughts.
But yeah they played great nontheless. Had a great time, they’re a really good band. wholeheartedly recommend. Favorite songs were: Like before you were born, horsehead, Blankenship (guess which diiv album is my favorite), brown paper bag (riff ripped straight from MBV and I loved it), raining on your pillow, doused(!)
I didn’t take any pictures because I was living in the moment :^)

Today is the release of my new EP, and being an independent musician is HARD AF.
So I’m feeling down, because I know this project, the one I poured my heart and soul into, will not reach all the places and people I would want.
So here it is, my GARAGE SALE. Hope you like it ❤️
