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...

What's a song you associate with your hometown?
Lots of options from the bigger names; Goo Goo Dolls, Snapcase, Copper. But Every Time I Die is probably my favorite of the bunch.

“ 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!

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...

New Ian Sweet review up on the blog!
Not as good as her last two albums, but a very good effort. And more poppy, if you weren't quite a fan of her more art-y/weird bedroom pop – check it out!
🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Lay Low" by Fiddlehead →
What's your favorite song about change?
This hits home right now. All three kids going off to college this month. My dad in the cancer hospital for a stem cell transplant to try to beat MDS. Feeling old.
Watch your kids grow - see them leave home In a breeze without ease, feel your throat choke Watch your friends go - see your hair grow Black to grey in a day and see yourself old Its too much for me I gotta lay low

Saw the new Spider-Man with the kids. Well, they are young adults now, but it’s been a thing for us since they were little, starting with Milo when he was 9 or 10. We’ve seen every Tom Holland Spider-Man movie in the theaters as well as all of the Spider-verse movies. So glad we were able to again, it made my day.
And yeah the movie was so good too!
