Not everything has to be obfuscated behind layer upon layer of vague subtlety to be emotionally resonant or interesting. Being "a little bit on the nose" should be worn as a badge of honor when done well.
I've been out here with a Jerry Garcia solo record avatar for like 7-8 years. The jam contingent on the gum is low key strong. Would love to see Rob Mitchum do an occasional Phish column on here.
I saw a kid who was barely three chin hairs over 17 at a Dead & Co show wearing a Swans shirt. The one with the teeth. I dapped him up with a simple "hell yeah, dude". He knew. Felt like I was looking in a mirror.
Gojira is absolutely amazing. Their record From Mars to Sirius is a sleeper top 10 metal album of all time. Unironically, seeing them on the same day as Phish and Deafheaven would be huge for me. And perhaps several others!
