POPULARITY
i went to an estate sale last weekend and i bought two jars of rubber bands. one had red rubber bands. the other had green rubber bands. they were so neatly organized. so pleasing to look at. someone, and presumely this person is now dead, took the care to organize these jars of rubber bands and i knew immediately that i had to have them. it was sunday and in the last hour of the estate sale. everything was cheap and whatever was left over was probably destined for the landfill. is it my job to save all the treasurers of the recently deceased? no. but maybe. and i’ve saved other objects before. notebooks. homemade fridge magnets. odd collections of useless items. at least, the items are useless to me, but they were meaningful to someone. and that’s what draws me to them. i hope that some day someone decides that my trash is worth preserving. and in that trash, i will live forever.DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Surface to Air Missive “Monster’s Mouth” Shelly’s Gone02:34 Erika Bell “Whales” Precept07:10 GOMME “Floss” Absent Healing10:31 J.F.

i haven’t been making it to shows so much recently. i regularly check the listings and add the ones i’m interested in to my calendar and then inevitably remove them. part of the reason has been the cold and rain, the distance to sac, but i think a lot of it is that i’m having a nice time just hanging out with friends. back in santa barbara the friend group was always pretty centered around music, among other activities obv, but shows were paramount. you knew you could show up and everyone would be there. it was the place to be.the group i’ve landed in in davis has not been focused on shows, though we do play music together and there’s always music playing on a speaker somewhere, it’s just different. and while they’ll check out a show with me once in a while, i’ve been going to most shows by myself. i was doing it for three years when i wasn’t living with friends, but now that i’m living with people i like, it’s even harder to leave the house, or leave the group, to do something else. but in any relationship - friend, romantic, otherwise - it feels so important to not stop doing the things you love doing just because you found some new things you like to do. obvious statement of the week but i’m going to keep saying it to myself.hunkering down with the group was essential to my survival through that atmospheric river. but shows are going to be essential to my thriving through the atmospheric river of life, of whatever, lol. and i know that i’ll never be able to be in two places at once, and that friends will hang out without me and i’ll miss out on some things sometimes. it’s so easy to get lost in what i’m missing out on that i don’t get to fully experiencing the thing that i’m doing. a thing that i love doing - a major through-line for me - going to shows. working on releases myself from that fomo mentality!.DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Nervous Twitch “Should’ve Come By” Get Back In Line02:26 Surface to Air Missive “Phases” Surface II Air Missive05:44 WOLF GIRL “Middlesexy” We Tried08:38 Program “Program” Show Me11:41 No Vacation “Out of Place” Phasing14:59 Docks “Roses” Terracotta Ladder18:16 Corridor “Junior” Junior21:13 Black Pus “LAND OF THE LOST” ALL ABOARD THE MAGIC PUS24:26 Basement Revolver “Romantic At Heart” Wax and Digital EP27:22 Hovvdy “Cathedral” Heavy Lifter30:27 Beret “How Many People” Jesus White33:01 Blacker Face “I Know More Things Than You Do” Distinctive Juju27:53 Guerilla Toss “Moth Like Me” What Would The Odd Do?40:55 Foxes in Fiction “Antibody” Trillium Killer44:11 HXXS “Year Of The Knife” Year Of The Witch46:37 Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton “Love For Myself” Take The Reigns49:01 The Kiwi Animal “Flesh And Time” Mercy51:00 Shelf Life “Avril” Everyone Make Happy53:04 Barrie “Drag” Happy To Be Here (Ext)55:13 Lubec “Against Nature” Against Nature
