Went to a show at a skate shop in Fullerton last night. Probably the first time I’ve been to a show like that in… 20 years? And I think I was in one of the bands playing the last time. 😂

Anyway, PÆRISH, a French shoegaze band, is wrapping up their first U.S. headlining tour, and they killed it.

Here’s some pics of the Wax Mage I mentioned a few days ago. It’s even better in person, but it still looks pretty great here!

Starting to work on my top 100 albums of the year, my fifth since I started my vinyl IG in 2020. It’s been an incredibly packed year for punk/indie/emo/posthardcore. There were a lot of mainstay bands who put out very good new records. The new toe record has been in the mix a lot since it dropped.

A new record from Chris Simpson (Mineral, The Gloria Record) dropped about a month ago, and it’s wonderful. It’s his second record as “Mountain Time,” and first new material since 2020. Been listening to it a ton lately.

Kristen was laid off from a brand new job about a week and a half ago. And since I’m still in between jobs, we decided to use this opportunity to go to Disneyland because she’s never been.

On our way, she got an email that the company that laid her off wants to rehire her in a different role. 🎉🎉🎉

The covers album of American Football’s LP1 is very good. It strikes the perfect balance between honoring the original and making it original that makes a cover great. The mix of artists is also excellent: Yvette Young, M.A.G.S., Iron & Wine, Girl Ultra, John McEntire. Highly recommended.
