Hello, friend.

One band I wish I saw and probably will never get a chance to is Title Fight. They played Buffalo when the kids were little, so I wasn't in the space to go at that point. Now have to hope for a reunion and one that's close enough to go to...

“ Subconsciously, I've used IAN SWEET as a vessel for things I'm not ready to process as Jilian, and I use the songwriting and performance to organize my thoughts into the chaotic things, the messy things, and the things I'm not quite ready to touch or look at closer. When I play live, it all becomes very real.”

Sounds like quite the process to get to the new album. Glad she's back to creating!

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Disposable Anthem" by Jacob King →

Saw Jacob King last night so been working through his discography. So good. If you like the Microphones and Saintseneca, you will dig it.

Lake Rats Dispatch pop-up #2 featured Jake King performing his lo-fi magic.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "I Can't" by Radiohead →

I don't know if it's the time period this came out or what, but I absolutely love this album.

It's almost a different band than later Radiohead, so I don't feel bad liking both...

This old man is something.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Theme Song for a New Brunswick Basement Show" by Lifetime →

What song makes you feel like you're in love with the world?

Lifetime are like peak youthful good memories for me. Their songs will always make me feel young and alive.
