It's the 30th anniversary of the band's debut, "Diary." They are a jaw-droppingly excellent live band from way back and Jeremy Enigk's voice is on some other planet. Yes you are right, some early Foo Fighters are in this video (Dave basically recruited them to Foos).
STRFKR DJ set would be amazing too -- full list of showcase artists here.
Back in my rock critic days, SX was THE place for new music discovery. IDK if that's still true or if it's too corporate now but here's a diary entry I wrote for Magnet Mag (ha).
If you are a BBQ fan you are going to eat your way through Austin. My favorite part of the whole experience outside of meeting random musicians throughout the week (my weird beer garden conversation with Perry Farrell comes to mind; also, Stubb's used to own a house with no address across the street from the venue that served as a Green Room/safe house for bands who are on their main stage; I wrote about that for Magnet too).

When I got into college, I had this thing where I would pick a class crush and a class enemy for every class I was enrolled in. It was fun and a way to ensure I was actually going to class and not skipping (to impress your crush you have to say insightful things and seem smart so you keep up with the course reading/to be a good enemy, you have to be well versed in the course reading to make a good counter argument to whatever your enemy is yapping about). Itโs always been fun and now as a Ph.D. student finishing up coursework, I am proud to say that I declared what might likely be my last class crush/enemy ever.
This is all to say that recently I have been letting the crush/enemy paradigm bleed out into other aspects of my life and that Iโd recommend it to others. If you wanna meet new people or make new friends, find a crush and enemy everywhere you go. Charm the crush, get into an argument with the enemy. It helps pass the time and you might fall into a friends to lovers or enemies to lovers dynamic which is always a good time.

I made the decision to "downgrade" to a flip phone and I genuinely think it is the best decision I've made in a long time. It's weirdly connected me to my inner-child. Which, in retrospect, I reckon I should have expected. The camera quality sucks in the best way, but I carry my Canon camera around too in case I need to capture something more important. I've been calling my friends more because T9 texting is a drag. Haha, I've been texting like "do u wanna c a movie l8er?"
I talk to strangers more when I'm waiting in line, when I can't look something up. I've been writing questions in my journal because I can't look it up in the moment, I have to get onto the computer later in the day and satiate my ever-flighty mind. Don't get me wrong, it sucked at first, but the intrigue absolutely helped. It has just been a fun way to spend the summer I guess. Screen time is down, my boredom has breed creativity, and I feel far more present in the world.
If you've been thinking about trading your smart phone in for a dumb phone, take this as a sign. I recommend it immensely.

Not sure how many other Doctor Who fans are on this site but I always thought the weeping angels were so baller. They hide in plain sight posing as these angel statues, but the moment your eyes are off them they try and get ya. I thought they were so scary as a kid and have a great affinity for them now.
