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.

Thebandâs performance, theaudienceâs energy, the feeling of unity. Pretty sure it was 2015, at the Mayan in LA.
Itâs 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. Didnât change me but Iâll never forget it.

Itâs 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 theyâve passed. Itâs a look into their genuine interests and personality, especially if theyâve 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 youâll likely get an interesting reading experience out of it. The (+) is for great-grandparents and beyond.

in my very unimportant opinion, too many adult women are obsessed with
âgirlhoodâ and embracing a âgirlyâ lifestyle and I canât for the life of me understand why they arenât embracing âwomanhood.â are adult women simply afraid of what leaving girlhood behind would mean for them? is it the prospect of the added responsibility that comes from being an adult that keeps them attached to their younger years? or is it just the aesthetics of girlhood that keep them in that mindset? yes when we were girls the world was so open, so new, so mysterious. why should that have to change entirely with age? some women may have more lived experiences and arenât as easily impressed or mystified by things as they were during girlhood, but i think thats all relative to perspective. there are still sensations, mysteries and first times after the age of 25 and even 45 and so on. shouldnât we experience it through the lens of women who have already passed the trials of girlhood? maybe this is just another millennial problem.
