I've been mainlining these excellent @jmhart.bsky.social tapes of this past summer's Fly Around Festival ... as you can see from the schedule here, the lineup featured some of the very best in the biz. doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/8019258...

Grittier and less predictable EITS was exactly the vibe I got from this record on first listen. This band always delivers.
Papir's post-rock dips into psych feeling equally at home locking horns with Explosions In The Sky and Mogwai as they would with Garcia Peoples. The record finds them embracing their prime era and promising more to come. bit.ly/48vm8vD

Not banned, but I got kicked out of a show at Mississippi Studios in Portland on NYE after offering a fella next to me a pull from the flask I brought in. Turns out he was the bouncer and that’s not allowed.
Yall ever been kicked out of a bar or club? Like are you banned from anywhere. 😂

It’s not my job to introduce my kids to current culture. In fact, I would probably do a pretty bad job of it. I’m happy to just lay a groundwork for them to encounter and appreciate stuff on their own as they age.
