Anxious, MAGS, and oso oso last night at Rec Room in Buffalo.
Amazon has gone full QVC.

Los Campesinos! at the Velvet Underground in Toronto. Theyβve been on my bands to see bucket list and it was worth the wait. π₯

What a show! Run the Jewels and Rage finally happened and it was glorious.
Summer Chet

Bon Iver and Bonny Light Horseman were amazing last night. Iβve seen hundreds of bands and it was a top 5 performance.
Retired the original vinyl storage unit with a larger 2x2 unit. Was kind of shocked how big the collection has grown in the last couple years. The overflow was in a few various locations, so this was the first time seeing it all in one spot!

Award season! High school high honors for these three. π₯°
Saw Iceage and Wiki at the Rec Room tonight. Crazy awesome show.
Watson was so tired after our hike today he didnβt even mind Chet sitting on his head. π

Shhhh! π€«

Went to see the cherry blossoms at the Buffalo History Museum and Japanese Gardens. Beautiful night!
One season ends and another begins. Tryout week done and so thankful Zoey has finally landed in a good spot for hockey. Now for a couple week break and they are back at it!

Some recent vinyl pickups: Guilt, Endpoint, Small Brown Bike, Sunny Day Real Estate, Modest Mouse, Karate, Nilufer Yanya, and Ian Sweet.
One of my favorite things about having three teenagers is sharing the experience of live music. Tonight with the kids: Cavetown

Selling Girl Scout cookies with these two amazing ladies over the weekend.

Hockey season almost over. Just in time to start the next. π€ͺ
Mail day! Dischordβs first six records box set arrived. Worth the wait.


Tough group finals loss for the Lady Stars. The most tight knit group of girls, so they had a blast regardless.

Great tournament for the Lady Stars! A record of 1-1-1 in the round robin to get them into the finals of the consolation bracket tomorrow. Zoey scored her first goal of season too.
Yesterday evening started out with a road-trip to see Kenmore girls field hockey take on Barker. Then to Mohawk Place to see Hop Along. Long day, but fun!



Seeing Wilco for the third time triggered a listening binge. Picked up the deluxe re-issue of Being There today at Revolver Records.



Double header sports night! Stella played for the Kenmore girls modified soccer team and Zoey played for varsity girls field hockey. Fun night, even with the rain.
