I finally realised after all these years what I love so much about Veckatimest, but in particular Southern Point, which I adore.
It's that it sounds like America at their best, like on Ventura Highway. It's such a rare sound. Like yes, it's folk music, but there's also some Spanish/Flamenco influence (Gump you'll be able to hopefully speak to what I'm on about here). It feels very lived-in. It feels very American, but in an aspirational, hopeful way. Ventura Highway evokes that sense of, you're on the road with your best pals to some beautiful future. But imbued with a sense of the past, too.
I always liked Grizzly Bear a lot, too bad they might be done(they won't officially say it, but all indications are they are on an indefinite extended hiatus).
Anyone listened to Wet Leg? I found them through TikTok, responding to hate comments from dudes with no fucking idea, and they've got quite a fun little album.
Have ticket prices gone up for y'all?
RHCP (with Post Malone) are touring here in Feb. Stadium. GA is $210 and the cheapest tickets are third level seated for $175
if you have a chance to see roger waters on this tour, definitely go.
A buddy of mine went last night and sent me a video from the show and he sounded great.An ad for the show just came up in my FB feed, and the visuals look pretty damned cool. Also nice to see he’s playing in the round, which makes the arena setup more even in terms of seating.
Nosebleeds for LA are $55+ fees and I’m def thinking about it. Isn’t his voice shot to hell, though?

I love the Fork's Sunday reviews. This one is fucking excellent. For people like me, who are now 32 (bday today!)
- Alabaster dePlume's Gold is one of the most unique things I've heard in quite some time. I'm not quite sure if it's jazz, ambient, classical or art pop. It's super long and overwrought, but a touching spiritual and meditative album that I think may appeal to a lot of people here. Thinking of iron yuppie in particular.
I know there's not many of us here anymore, but for those who see this, what's a song that's resonating for you emotionally right now?
This gave me chills. Kate Bush reached out to them, she loved it.
