Feeling good and comfortable in an outfit is so awesome, why not just wear the same thing everyday? In the new year we are all dressing like cartoon characters. Find your Bart Simpson

I was not raised on this joint. I was put on by Amanda Seyfried and I’m all the more grateful for it.

This is more of a take than a rec but if an artist or band is touring a record they recently dropped, they should play the entire album live! It makes for such a great concert experience. I have two examples.
First, I saw Mk.gee in September last year. I’m pretty sure he played every song from Two Star & the Dream Police. He changed up the setlist from the album tracklist plus performed a couple older songs to fill out his stage time but it was all thematically consistent.
My other example is Black Country, New Road. I just saw them in May and I’m almost certain they just performed Forever Howlong front to back, with the addition of one track from Live at Bush Hall. Now this might be an exception because with Isaac (the previous frontman)’s departure, obviously the band can’t really play tracks from their first two records. Still, it doesn’t take away the fact that with their new setup, they had a phenomenal show.
Playing the whole album is also greatly rewarding for the artist’s core fanbase; the ones who memorize lyrics, run streams up, buy merch, and return for future shows.
I think it’s beneficial for the artists too as it creates a symbiosis between recording and touring. It forces them to think more critically about concept and vision and in return, come out with a record that’s cohesive as it is appealing. That way, each tour will be its own unique snapshot in time instead of being another go around where they play their hits from different eras.
