like street performances or people busking on the subway - all kinds of people with all kinds of instruments and sounds. free live concerts in public spaces too! recently i was in awe of this very talented trio at delancey-essex st who were tap dancing, drumming, and DJing. i’ve seen them there more than once and they always look like they’re having so much fun!! a couple months ago i passed by the big post office across penn station and there was literally a jazz band set up with a few audience seats and everything? it was wonderful. and once in paris, i was walking over the seine and a man was playing the violin so beautifully, and it felt like i was in a movie! i really love music and i love when people perform it in public, it is definitely a reminder that life can be so beautiful

first blog (⊙_⊙) kinda nervy! we're starting this page off with what I'll probably be using it for the most: random mini-rants about the things I love. and speaking of...I am completely OBSESSED with live music. tiny desk concerts? can't get enough. SNL performances? I study them like poetry. audiotree live? I want to give whoever came up with that idea a big fat smooch. I've talked to a bunch of people who just don't watch their fav artists performing live. and, to each their own, but I think it adds a whole other artistic level to the music. and I personally don't know how I'd live life without my little youtube playlist of all my fav performances. If I were to become president, the first thing I would do is make it law for every single artist to release at least ONE live album...then I'd sit back and watch the rates of depression totally plummet cause everyone's having so much fun listening to live music (trust) okay thank you for ur time!! here are my top 3 fav live performances cause I need to spread my agenda: A House Is Not A Home (Cover) - Jazmin Bean Strawberry Sessions https://youtu.be/lB1mKyNrSyQ?si=B1sNjqYXaXEUm4Z9 Picture You - Chappell Roan Tiny Desk https://youtu.be/9raWUD7U94E?si=vI9LOVkDTdTxGgD7 CATFISH / DENIAL IS A RIVER - Doechii at The GRAMMYs https://youtu.be/XyoLUYKn5Kk?si=puWN8mddsnpJsS1o

just saw the phenomenal @ (who i really wish i could tag with @@) and @CAMERON-WINTER in philly.
spectacular performances from two incredible acts, but the concert experience was taken to another level from the atmosphere of being in a church
music is sacred and holy

bombay bicycle club in 2014? 2015? was blown away by how much fun they were having and how tight they were parquet courts a couple years ago were fantastic, so energetic twin peaks hands-down some of the most fun I've ever had seeing live music
patti smith was iconic she kept spitting on the stage
mgmt 4 the memz
seeing phil elverum (mount eerie) do a solo show at a church-turned-sex-club-turned-cultural-center was maybe the most magical. the sky was glittering after that
the strokes was a fulfilled childhood dream and julian casablancas is the best frontman/stand-up combo i ever witnessed
four tet in the middle of a forest in bilbao was unreal

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
