I’ll be at a wedding 45 mins away when Tame plays Lonerism is full :( That was my soundtrack in fall ‘12 in LA
Saw Mars Volta open their first tour in ten years in Dallas last night. Only played two songs off their new album. Have seen them several times before but this was their best. If you like them then try to hit one of their upcoming shows.

all I wanted from this tour was Roulette and they bust out this madness, someone in the crowd was live streaming and I watched for about 15 minutes before deciding to save the rest for Sunday (Vicarious was fucking sick), I'm sure Cedric will slip as the shows go on but I didn't even think he could still pull this material off fresh like that, the entire band seemed on fire in a way that I thought was long lost haven't been this excited for anything in ages
The more I listen to the Preoccupations the more I love it and hear heavy Women and Cassette EP vibes. Them, Cola and Alvvays will dominate my Spotify end-of-year recap
Mint will 110% be my #1 most played song. I love the whole album but am obsessed with the stretch of songs from Degree through Mint
Paramore’s status kept on growing during its hiatus and now they’ve gotten this big air about them and the younger generation worships them and they actually have some Pitchfork / indie cred now and Hayley Williams is pretty much iconic now and … … then they release more music and I’m reminded their music isn’t really that good
