My first time seeing them live. Thought the place was gonna be packed with Turkish people since their music is Anatolian psychedelic rock and they mostly cover Turkish folk, but it was mostly Norwegian people which made it even more fun. Also this was before their vocalist Merve Daşdemir left the group, it will Never be the same, but check them out if you haven’t already.

had a beautiful spot, saw her play the first song of hers i fell in love with, in my hometown at a new to me venue, voice as haunting as ever. fantastic. semi-weak setlist but she played some good unreleased stuff. stood next to a kind older romanian man who was taking pretty neat film/polaroid photos. cool dude, cool evening

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.

Watched this last night while slurping ramen over my couch and it was a 10/10 experience. This docu about a video store in NYC and this obsessive guy following the movies all the way to Sicily just make for an inspirational story of love for the art in the time of digital cholera.
