Fontaines D.C. were great last night! Packed house and I was drenched in sweat after moshing most of the show. Crowd was really great. They played Favourite, the closer of the upcoming album, for the first time and its a pretty mellow track and I enjoyed it.
that was a mad fun time - probably crossed paths in the pit. small venue last minute show made it so everyone in there was a big fan, great atmosphere

I’m sitting* at JC waiting for 18 more minutes hoping for a 2023 replica and another top 1 of the year show consideration. Bonnaroo last year was a fucking treat but I know him better now so we’ll see if the wow factor of how good of a musician he is.
* Got the hookup with VIP and a clarified mezcal margarita and a beet crudo on the way!!!
damn. If there is anyone performing at this level that I need to see, somebody better tell me. Jim gets 100% of the credit for turning me on. Band was superb as expected. Lindsey Lomis and Alita Moses (and the 3rd singer I can never remember her name) all hit impossible vocal notes and were only the sidekicks to Jacob. I told y’all when the tour dropped not to miss it. Gold star guarantee that it’s worth every fucking penny. Multiple audience choirs, sing alongs and claps. It double hits home because he did Moon River which was my infant/toddler lullaby my mom sung me to bed every night and Bridge Over Troubled Water which my dad used to strum for us on his classical guitar and sing to us when we were little. Welll. Sleeping on My Dreams. The Sun Is In Your Eyes superb but then Somebody to Love, a solo and credible Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong on piano. Plus tons more. I’ll refund anyone’s money who buys a ticket on this tour and doesn’t have a good time. Houston Saturday. Austin Sunday. Irving Monday, Phoenix Thursday… if you are anywhere near these cities you don’t want to fuck up. I’ll reiterate if Elton John and Freddie Mercury were more talented than they are/were and could play every instrument close to virtuoso level, this would be that in todays world.

Have a few shows in which I'm interested that happen to fall on the same night so soliticing advice from the faceless music experts of Inforoo dot com! Anybody have strong feelings about either:
The Mars Volta vs. Orville Peck or Mdou Moctar vs. Lucinda Williams

TMV and Lucinda
Agreed on TMV. They are one of the coolest bands, so you kind of have to go with them.
Made a fairly spontaneous decision earlier this week to go to this year's Synergy party at Anime Central. Anime Central is the big anime convention in the Midwest and the Synergy party is their annual event that features DJ sets by artists who make the high-BPM music usually found in rhythm video games (e.g. DDR), usually all of whom are either Japanese or from outside the US. I got into this music through playing DDR when I was younger (and still playing it if it's nearby, tbf) and while it's pretty rare to see hardcore techno sets anywhere here in this country, it's basically impossible to see Japanese hardcore anywhere outside of anime conventions. This year I was excited primarily to see kors k and Ryu*, two longstanding producers for rhythm games whose music I've basically known for almost 20 years now, which is crazy. I'd only ever been to Anime Central once before, when I was 17 but that was the year they made the Synergy party 18+ only and I didn't have a fake (boo hiss to lame 17 year old shuck) so I never went.
It was crazy to finally be able to go and it was a great experience. You know how people complain on Boiler Room YouTube videos of the crowd being dead, always on their phones, not enjoying the music or whatever? This was the exact opposite of that: 3000 people, many in costumes (delightful!), dancing to really fast music as hard as possible without a single dip in energy for six hours straight. I never feel uncool when I go clubbing or anything like that, but it's truly remarkable how in an environment like this pretty much any form of pretense is eliminated. There's a guy in a light up oni mask in front of you dancing to a to a 180 BPM remix of "Caramelldansen". I hate the hyperironic posturing of the Shrek Rave shit but if there was ever a place to embrace the "it's dumb, just come have fun" mentality, it'd be this. Pure enjoyment all the way through.
Won't get into specifics of the music because it's not super worth it but a personal unexpected highlight was Japanese producer/singer/guitarist TORIENA, who I knew nothing about but actually played live guitar several times in her set (shocking!) and opened and closed with straight up guitar fuzz with a lot of hardcore techno in the middle. Somehow, there's a way to do something shocking and extreme with this kind of music. Pretty remarkable!
As for the rest of the convention, I knew more about anime when I was a teenager and don't really anymore so I actually felt way out of my depth a lot of the time lol. But the size of the convention itself appears to have doubled since I went last and it was worth the price of admission alone to experience some of the best people watching pretty much anywhere. thinking about doing it again next year!
