@emceeQ I'm so gutted their ep isn't available on CD. Lucy Dacus, Pheobe Bridges, and Julien Baker have released standout albums this past year. Seeing Julien Baker live in London a couple of months ago was astounding. If you get chance, see her. I was in bits!

@emceeQ I like that. It has touches of Teenage Fanclub, so that is no bad thing!

just pure class. He has a simply stunning voice

and while I'm on class, sass, and style…Miss Nikki Lane

On Friday I had some 17 year olds try to explain to me that their fashion sense was 80's retro so I got to paraphrase quote The Hold Steady… "The 80's almost killed me let's not remember them quite so fondly"
I dig THS, saw them a bunch when I lived in Minneapolis.
I'm a huge fan of a group of friends/musicians from the northeast, including this great drummer Joe Russo–Craig Finn has been jamming with him and a bunch of other badasses lately. I'm sure it's friggin gold.

Years go by, and still, I can never get enough Dime.Yep. Saw these guys twice 25 yrs ago and probably one of the best shows I’ve been to. Damn I’m ancient but damnit, those were the days

I got to see SLEEP again tonight. They really sounded fantastic. The opening act Weather Warlock was really weird. He doesn't play any instruments for the most part and somehow uses the weather to make feedback that drones through some crazy amps.
I was lucky and got to be in the first row this time.
The cool bouncer in in the front game me the set list.
They had woven patches and a ton of merch. I bought a lot of stuff because the ticket was only $25. They should be charging a lot more, I think.
I have been feeling so depressed recently that I almost didn't even go. But I am really glad I did.

Sorry about the depression and hope it abates, but super envious about the show and mementos, what a great night!

Thanks. I need to stop isolating I think. Because I feel pretty awesome right now. I was thanking the bouncer and shook his hand… just trying to show my gratitude... and he gave me the set list. I am going to frame it with my ticket stub. I have a a whole slew of Sleep posters. But that one is extra big. I had to stand on a chair to get the whole poster in frame.

I really like the the astronaut with guitar patch @Filthy
-
Yep it's definitely really cool.
-
@Filthy music is indeed cathartic bro. I can only imagine how good this gig was…AND they played Dragonaut ! As a death metal and hard-core punk kid back when Sleeps holy mountain was released it blew me away a led me to so many other great bands.
My wife and I go to see Slowdive and The War on Drugs play a shared headline gig this week. Like you my Bi polar hasn't been great recently so I think I'll be a crying mess mid way through. I hope the positive energy stays with you dude
-
Best wishes to you too @Stuart.T The War on Drugs is such a great name for a band.
Edit: also Dragonaut had an extra 'acoustic' bluesy sounding intro. The entire venue was silent. It was pretty amazing.
-
The War on Drugs are great. The band, not the failing crusade against some mind altering substances.
-
@Filthy hope you'll be feeling better soon. The show might have been the start and motivate you to go out more often which i think helps. Btw I Saw Sleep for the first time this year and it was a really great experience.
