i saw ink at a big venue, but my friend and i were really close to the stage and got to sing our hearts out and jump around and dance, and it was amazing. the psychedelic furs were at pappy and harriet’s, a much smaller outdoor venue, and i went with my mum. we stood near the back and sang and absorbed the music, and it was also amazing.

In December 2017 I went to a local festival in my city that was one day only and I saw cage the elephant live and that was one of the best concert experiences I’ve had to this day. I also saw Green Day earlier that year (primarily to watch catfish and the bottlemen open for them) and I was really pleasantly surprised with how great of a show they put on.
When I moved to NYC the first concert I saw here was weyes blood, about six months after titanic rising came out, and it was one of the few times I’ve cried at a show. One of my first “post-Covid” shows was japanese breakfast at brooklyn steel, and that show just felt so whole and I think about it often.
I got to see IDLES’ sold out Bowery ballroom show earlier this year and that one was just so fun and memorable for me. Love a good mosh pit, love a room full of people who are all there because they love the artist/band just as much as you do. Julia Jacklin’s solo acoustic show earlier this year was hauntingly beautiful and it made me a bigger fan of her for sure.
Sorry this is 6 concerts but this is technically my top 10% so I think that’s good enough.

LCD Soundsystem at Shrine Auditorium
Great show, always wanted to see them live and it was even cooler seeing them on Halloween Night (highlight was the crew guy wearing the inflatable baby costume)
The Pop Out: Ken & Friends at the Forum
Words can’t even describe how amazing this was. So happy I got to experience that one man. Historic.

i just went to my first punk show in my city, since a friend of mine’s band was playing and he invited me. it was at 8pm at a coffee shop, and i felt very out of place at first among these people who are so much more incredibly cool than me. then, the music started, and i realized that i was headbanging just like everyone else. girls asked me to hold their things when they went to mosh, and i helped people up off the floor when they fell in the pit. it was a very unifying experience and i met lots of real weirdos (which i love). highly recommend

i’m needing to remind myself that being odd and dressing uniquely is not a bad thing. going back to university and not knowing anyone in my classes while also showing up in a full tweed suit or a tetris cardigan or a long brocade jacket is okay. don’t let the uniqueness leave you just because people give you strange looks.
be more like the girl that dresses in head to toe lolita coords every day. or the guy that came to class dressed as soulja boy for no particular reason. get weird with it!!
