12.20.16 | hell ya album art | Rowan5215
12.20.16 | would murder to see one of those Source Tags n Codes shows | klap
12.20.16 | dude been itching for one of those to come around for like two years since they did the first few. they have been hit or miss live for me but that was an amazing show. | Futures
12.20.16 | hey summerfest. usually a pretty fun time. | Rowan5215
12.20.16 | didn't they say something along the lines of they wouldn't play many of the songs again after this?? if they ever come to australia I might not ever see how near how far rip | Sinternet
12.20.16 | sweet reppin timmy trumpet and yellow claw | klap
12.20.16 | one of my friends helps put on summerset so i got a free ticket. had a great time camping and the music was pretty fun but the crowd was incredible levels of ratchetness. wisconsin parties pretty hard
sin need my bounce house/aggressive trap fix | Futures
12.20.16 | lol ye we do party very hard. | klap
12.20.16 | rowan i haven't heard that but if they do come they usually play how near in their regular set lists iirc so don't miss it | klap
12.20.16 | beautiful venue for summerset too everyone could go tubing down the river for like 2 hours during the day. they actually sold cases of beer along the river. god bless america | Chortles
12.20.16 | fyf mems | blastOFFitsPARTYtime
12.20.16 | Klap 4 Veils | klap
12.20.16 | Veils are love Veils are life | Irving
12.20.16 | And I thought I had done okay by going to two shows this year | klap
12.20.16 | easily the best thing about living in a major American city imo | Sinternet
12.21.16 | i'd probably see all these shows, didn't even notice you had The Magician here | klap
12.21.16 | he always puts on a good one | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | nice. id obviously rather stab myself in the dick with a soldering iron than pay to see a lot of these but bonobo, griz, father john, goldroom, guy gerber, and gold panda are all varying degrees of okay to amazing live and id like to see the kills, health, rhye, deerhunter, bat for lashes, kamasi, tokimonsta, nosaj, big wild, odesza, air, blood orange, blake, bon iver, machinedrum and rufus live so overall good list
almost saw rufus last month and also will probably see machinedrum at the end of this month | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | i was so ready to do all the dance moves from the desert night video at rufus too :[ | klap
12.22.16 | lol pots that was beautiful. is that poetry?
kind of sick of Griz's shtick tbh my friends dragged me to that one but i agree with all the others. Goldroom was a lot better live than i thought. Guy Gerber is always great
tokimonsta was one of the surprises of coachella for me, she threw down hard
rufus was really good live but their drummer takes them to another planet. he's amazing | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | yeah i dunno griz is super gimmicky but i think he was fun live its hard to say i was very high on mdma and very drunk and it was very 5 years ago so i cant remember literally any of it tbqh
goldroom and autograf put on a crazy show together tbh
i was gonna go drive out to see tokimonsta and big wild in some shit city near seattle but it was an all ages show at a university (lol) so i decided fuck that
she is coming in a couple months here and i will see her then instead
and yeah fuck im so sad i missed rufus, it was mega sold out, just didnt grab tickets early enough i fucked up | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | "i think he was fun live its hard to say i was very high on mdma and very drunk and it was very 5 years ago so i cant remember literally any of it tbqh"
this applies to me seeing bonobo too tbh | klap
12.22.16 | that applies to me seeing most of the artists on this list that you would think it would apply to lol
you gotta catch rufus next time they're around. of that group Air was amazing but not sure they're touring, deerhunter and nosaj are always great, and health is directly proportional to how small the venue is (festival was eh, when i saw them at a club it was very legit) | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | word
btw mr little jeans was pretty good live altho she seemed to think she was at coachella even tho she was clearly at a pretty small bar/club
Good Mistake was 10/5 live as was the arcade cover, i developed a better liking towards some of the other tracks i felt neutral about on the album through seeing them live as well but i still think a lot of them are pretty average
also i got into some banter with her over her complete ignorance about canada, she was shocked that we have a different thanksgiving and seemed to think that vancouver was small enough that if she mentioned that her favourite restaurant here was that one greek place that it could be narrowed down enough for us to know what she was talking about
she appreciated the amount of facepalming and groaning i was doing | klap
12.22.16 | hahaha that's great. she's Norwegian right? i've seen her twice (2014, 2015) and the first time was pretty stellar, second time her voice was kind of off, she may have been sick, plus a bigger venue might not have suited her. Mercy and Haunted are as good to me as Good Mistake and the Suburbs tbh | betray
12.22.16 | u forgot warped tour | klap
12.22.16 | u r thinking of acad plz @ him | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | that may be her background but shes just an ignorant 'murican as one would expect
funny u say a bigger venue might not have suited her cuz as i was saying she seemed to act like she only knew how to play stadiums or some shit lol
"HOWS EVERYONE DOIN TOOOONIIIIIGHT!!!??!!!"
~all 30 people in the bar~
"yeah, pretty good thanks"
tbh I M U R and Trace both showed her up but when she closed with Good Mistake things got 'lit fam' as the insufferable folk would say
anyways yeah Mercy is pretty good, haunted i feel meh about. that one song with the little girls choir or whatever is fucking awful tho i really really hate that song with every fiber of my being. | klap
12.22.16 | dude she brought out this children's choir for that song the second time i saw her it was unbearable. some of the kids were hilarious tho just like blank stares | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.22.16 | im not sure i would survive that tbqh, i think i would possibly cringe myself to death |
