This is a 10 year old concert recording of Future Islands. It’s one of my favorite Youtube hidden gems, and it’s probably one of the best live recordings I’ve ever heard. Highly recommend the versions of “Back in the Tall Grass,” “Lighthouse,” and “Tin Man”
I saw all 3 live for the first time yesterday at The Sultan Room and I think they were all amazing. Their music made me feel like in an early 2000’s NYC movie. I appreciate how impeccable the shows were bc I know how hard it is to create and bring a song to the stage. They are my current favorites <33
Ok stay with me here. Too much public filming. This is going to discourage good weird public activity. We need people being weird in public. Odd dancing, carrying around insane items, freaked out fits, etc. Instead of a quick vid to show your friends, or, god forbid, *get internet clout*, people should be sketching the scene and describing it in colorful language. Now you have to take accountability for your opinion on the matter, your draftsmanship and writing gets better, and the public freaks have plausible deniability in the job interview. This goes for drunk man on the street tik tok videos as well. Put on a newsboy cap and start jotting. There should be exceptions like intentional performances or heinous crimes of course. I’m open to other exceptions I just can’t think of any rn. This will never be a reality but i can try
