As a huge Blink and Travis fan I have actually his memoir about a year ago, so the first half was essentially a visualizer from the book, but nonetheless, what a guy!
Considering notifications/enshittification/social media/smartphone addiction, this isn’t half-bad of an idea. “The friction” being the point, part of the experience, is an interesting factor.
Made me want to unearth my OG 110GB iPod Classic — only I couldn’t quite find it this evening. Something fun to play with once I’m able to get my hands on it!
I’ve been playing this album on repeat, streaming it, but getting my hands on a vinyl, part of the Space Mission back in March, makes it really special!
Looking forward to the next round of concerts over the next few months — and stoked to have secured tickets for Blink-182’s freshly announced European tour next year too! 💪 🎸 🤘
Fantastic night out at Olympia for Billy Talent, a celebration of Billy Talent II, their second album, critically-acclaimed and the one that saw them break through!
Since we’re talking music, go listen to Gorillaz’s new masterpiece, ”The Mountain”, you’ve been missing out if you hadn’t until now!
Genuinely their second best, after Demon Days and ahead of Plastic Beach. This one completes the trilogy beautifully and I can’t wait to get my hands on that collectible yellow Vinyl!
Was supposed to see Pusha-T live a few years back but gig got cancelled, so extremely happy to have seen him in my hometown.
Given that Pharrell Williams is now the Creative Director at Louis Vuitton in Paris and that they recorded the album in the offices, I was low-key hoping for a Pharrell appearance. And not only did he show up, he also came on stage for the very last song!
Been a huge fan since @hernameisbanks was putting out her first EPs.
Glad to finally see her live — and what a show too:
a great voice live, great choreography/dancing, lights show, in an intimate venue known for its historical significance in the Parisian cultural scene!
There’s rarely been such an influential artist who’s been as influential as he was reclusive especially with 3 albums over 20 years. (Maybe Jeff Buckley comes to mind…)
Turnstile was already an all-time Baltimore band.
This year, though? The city’s veteran hardcore quintet was transcendent, reaching levels of rarified air reserved for acts that do more than simply release a great album — they shift culture.
🎵 Whenever September comes, I get into a crisp Fall mood and one of my little rituals is to listen to Springsteen & Prince endlessly. Can’t explain it, it just brings me joy!
…here’s Pharrell using PTO from his day job as the men’s creative director of Louis Vuitton to reunite with Pusha and Malice and add some modern blockbuster polish to the Neptunes sound.
I’ve been a fan for more than a decade now — his past 4-5 albums have been frequently on rotation at home over the years, and I’m fascinated by the creative freedom and artistry he seems to shape for himself.
After a first act dedicated to Chromakopia, he walked over a bridge to reach the small center stage, set like a living room (with a sofa, a desk, a turntable, and a crate of vinyl records.) He browsed through the crate containing his previous albums and other Easter eggs and influences and would then pick his albums and put them onto the turntable to play the hits.
Such a cool yet simple concept hit it was executed beautifully!
