So fall is looking better and better for me in terms of concerts. Already got tickets to see Angel Olsen, Sleater-Kinney and Shura, but today I managed to snag a XCX ticket. I missed two chances already to see her, once at Governor's Ball in 2017 (Charles Bradley was performing at the same time and it was pretty obvious that he was going to die before I had another chance, so I saw him instead). Second time was Gov's Ball 2019, who fucking canceled her.
Let's hope I get to see her this time

It didn't help that the few that acknowledged its existence hyped it up as the best album ever when it was just a very good album that would have been put on the 30s-20s area of most best of lists if people heard it. So the hype kind of killed the love it deserved

so if any of y'all want to gay up your music library for PRIDE, I've been doing a Twitter thread with recommendations. https://twitter.com/ItsOnlyACrimeIf/status/1135252723425787904
Suggestions are welcome

Aurora's new album kicks ass, and y'all should listened to it if you want something with a touch of Florence+ The Machine and Lorde.

I'm Marijuana, in some circles I'm called Hound, a 22 year old bi guy from Long Island.
I'm currently unsure what to do with my life

By people, I mean performers. I don't put the blame on them, Gov's Ball screwed everything up and it clearly messed with the artists.

Kind of annoyed she came late, but I'm putting that on Gov's Ball because literally every set I saw yesterday, people were scrambling and clearly pissed off at the situation.

What other media have you digested?
Assassin's Creed Odyssey- this is probably the best game Ubisoft will drop this generation and its probably the best the series will ever be. If you like the Witcher or Dragon Age, you'll like this one
Yakuza 0- I can use salt as a weapon.

Got drunk at Earl Sweatshirt because how isn't that a brilliant idea.
Got Carly Rae Jepsen on line for the summer and I aim to get to a Joanna Newsom show.

You're the Worst Season 5- So this is it. One of the best shows I've ever seen has ended and it sticks the fucking landing except for just one thread that felt like it didn't belong. But considering the whole deal, one thread is easy to look over. I absolutely adore this show, its look at depression, PSTD, how parents can fuck up their kids, the lampooning of hipster culture etc. And my god, if Aya Cash doesn't have a long and successful career after this, then its all the proof I need that god does not exist. So if you haven't watched YtW yet, give it a try and stick with it. Trust me when I say, despite some bumps, its worth the journey is worth it.
Bayonetta 2- I got to eat god.

Syndicate is.... fine. I liked the dynamic between the siblings, free running is at its best, and Wintory's soundtrack, while his weakest work yet, is still pretty good. Everything else though.... eh. I would have just skipped to Origins or Odyssey.
Then my work here is done

What other media have you digested
Shrill (the Hulu Series)- The hatred for Dan Savage is strong in this one.
Shape of Water- I'm annoyed that we never found out if the fishman's dick glows.
Limitless- amazing how creative editing and directing can make even a procedural great.
Brooklyn 99- Its basically to cops what Parks and Rec was to government workers, minus the interviews.

Having seen the movie, the Air Force is barely a factor and is treated negatively. The ads, PR etc though is totally pro military propaganda though.

Damn right with Modern Warfare, but it doesn't end with there Infinity Ward. Between the MW miniseries and what I know about Ghosts, it screams that IW is where Activision sends most of its more racist developers.
