Music 🧵 has played a significant part of my entire life and I simply want to give it more room. I will drop #music here sporadically. Some will be good, other will be cliché, cringe or even bad. Even bad music is good sometimes. I will start by Learn To Swim, A Mixtape (2023) by Joshua Idehen 1/N

I saw Confidence Man a couple of years ago at Primavera Sound in Madrid and have been kind of obsessed with them since. They played in crazy rain which got the next festival day cancelled. I also might have a slight celebrity crush on Bones 😅
