They played at The Glasshouse. It was my first time seeing them after just getting into them. At some point they played an extended version of Higher Than The Sun and it got to the point where the whole audience was moving together. All of our heads were bouncing the same way, our movements almost blended together. It was transcendent.

Theband’s performance, theaudience’s energy, the feeling of unity. Pretty sure it was 2015, at the Mayan in LA.
It’s been rare in my experience for everything to come together like that.
The Eras Tour was great fun for those same reasons. It was like a cross between Disneyland and a college football game.
Guided by Voices is great, Peter Murphy & David J doing Bauhaus was fantastic, Pom Pom Squad rules.

Very early days for TI, just after they released their self-titled EP (aka Antares, Mira, Sun). 200-pax room. Kevin Parker jumping between instruments. Backed by a big, red velvet (I assume) curtain. Nick Allbrook was wearing fun striped pants. They were really swampy-psych then and it filled the room perfectly. Didn’t change me but I’ll never forget it.

my favorite band of all time and super tight live. not a ton of interaction or stage presence which i usually really value at a concert but it was just so cool to hear all my favs and see the soundboard stuff live. drums were incredible to watch. highly recommend for lovers of ambient psych-pop.

It’s a way to transcend time and to be connected to people in your family you feel you might not easily relate to because of the generational divide, especially if they’ve passed. It’s a look into their genuine interests and personality, especially if they’ve annotated in the margins. The ability to do this is valuable if you can. I think it builds or strengthens empathy, and gives you a stronger foundation for appreciating your family history. Not to mention you’ll likely get an interesting reading experience out of it. The (+) is for great-grandparents and beyond.

I grew up with a small TV in our kitchen and thought the added element of visual entertainment made kitchen activities better than they might have been otherwise. I use an iPad these days with a stand that I can move around as well as an adhesive wall mount. It makes dish washing and cooking a thousand times more bearable even if I’m not paying as much attention to what’s on the screen. There’s also something really cozy about it being small.
