    This? Joey Valence & Brae was such a great set. Full on energy and the crowd was really into it. Just old school hip hop. Loved it. Modest Mouse and The Strokes both sounded great and we sat through 30 minutes of Doechii and she killed it. Finally what a great DJ set by Sammy Virji. Great day!

    We may try to get to Passion Pit early. We'll see. As for Empire two of their biggest hits have 1.3 and 1.1 Billion streams. Their third biggest song is at 850 Million. Sabrina's biggest sits at 400M although she has more monthly streamers. Also, Miller Lite at sunset is consistently one the best stages at ACL

    So how much Emergen-C and coconut water y'all enjoying today? Ooooffff Today's radar: Hotline TNT - Always up to check out some shoegaze/noise pop Inoha - Saw them at SXSW earlier in the year - good indie rock Ocean Alley - possible but they will most likely lose out to... Joey Valence & Brae - aka early Beasties and the Beatbox stage is a good stage with a chance of shade Modest Mouse La Lom - maybe but mostly overlaps with Modest Mouse although some time in the Tito's tent shade would be nice 5:30 - 7:30 block is a hmmmm block of Magdalena Bay, Backseat Lovers, LP Giobbi. Which one?? Sammy Virji apparently had a great DJ set at Coachella The Strokes, duh. Easy choice for me and I think Sabrina will be a mess. Very happy that I pretty much don't have a reason to go to the Amex stage today.

    He has 3-4 good songs. Other than those the dropoff tonight was precipitous. Empire of the Sun always puts on a great show. It was a similar set to what they played earlier this year at the Moody Amphitheater. Liked MJ Lenderman. Panda Bear... would not see again. Repetitive and low energy save for a couple of songs. Sorry... Role Model... not for me. Apparently for the 80% female audience, though. Confidence Man is great if you like dance in music. Definitely recommend The Animeros for local psychedelic chicha/cumbia ...and yeah, Hozier, I was ready to go.

    Still find it fascinating that Rhian went from Isle of Wight milk maid to ass kicking machine...
  9. Ahhhhhhh dang it. September. But, I believe in you, October.

    That would be equal parts shitty and stupid. Fences will get torn down. Saw him open for Goth Babe in 2023. Pretty high energy. He seems to like coming back to Austin.
  11. If accurate, not bad October... not bad. Three months to go...

    Cannot overemphasize the feeling of the early Friday entrance and the green green grass... such a fleeting moment.

    All right... I'll have to catch you at a local show sometime or in the hood. Enjoy the chaos!

  16. Y'all saying you don't have time. I get it. Ignore the first 17 minutes and watch 12 here and there. Its good stuff. Gives you hope. In the end he is clear that he thinks there is hope.
  17. LOL... talk about putting a negative spin on the video. He starts talking about how great he can be and that he would almost recommend letting him get hit early so it wakes him and then he balls out. He does a really good even keeled job of analyzing him and, again, at that 17 minute-ish mark he starts really digging into Arch's skills. His point is a good one - let him run around, let him be an athlete and let him loose and that is when he is at his best. Sound familiar? Let Vince be Vince.
  18. Good stuff. At the 17:05 mark is where he says Arch unlocks.

  20. I've seen him twice - once at ACL and once at a little SXSW aligned festival last year. He's talented, puts on a good show, good rapport with the audience but he really feels like a super safe, generic entertainer. Don't know how to describe this but he's very safe and non-controversial. Is he a secret Osmond? My sons say he is an "industry plant"
  21. Thanks, all. I don't have any health issues and in general good health which I wasn't sure if Aetna would say, "F off".
  22. Got one in the house with covid right now. I would love to get the latest vaccine but don't even know how to get it without paying for it
