April May 2018

Kai Straw - Friction

Meat MD:  It's been a bit, but I'm finally getting around to my recap of coachella...  

...Fashion: Last year, bras were out, mesh shirts and pasties were in.  This year, pasties out, everything else stayed the same.  I saw a girl who, the most significant thing covering her was a nipple ring. I know, I know, pics.  But 1) I have no idea how old these girls are, but it's not "very".  It makes me uncomfortable to take a pic (although not to look). 2) I barely remember I have a phone let alone a camera on said phone and operating it seems like a near impossible task (it lights up, it buzzes, Cardi B is coming on, why am I standing in this line? was I really going to get pizza? am I alone? ...or have I always been alone?)...  

...My overall pick:  THEY.  Fucking hell those dudes are talented.  If they aren't huge in 2 years, they have a shitty manager.
     


CAPYAC ft MOONZz — Afterhours  

Devo:  It's been a bit, but I'm finally getting around to my recap of my kid's 3rd bday this weekend.

Things got going super promptly at 11 AM because that's how we party out here. The kids were out wearing cars on their shirts, some princesses, lots of em had sunscreen on, you'd catch a little girl crying for no apparent reason (maybe drugs? maybe cupcakes?). No pics, 1) I have no idea how old these girls are, though mostly probably preschool; 2) I barely remember having a phone because I have to eat pot to be able to deal with this.

My overall pick: Moana. Kills it every time. Lin-Manuel just can't miss. "How Far I'll Go" turns into a crazy dance party.

 

Mansionair - Astronaut

Adrien Brody:  The chorus (loose term) came through and it made me miss daft punk.



BROCKHAMPTON - BLEACH

Meat MD:  They call themselves a boyband. They are not.  They are boys, and it is technically a band, but its a hard band of boys.

 

Cautious Clay - Blood Type

Foggy Goggles:  This guy keeps dropping dope shit. The whole Blood Type album is great. It's layered. soulful, upbeat stuff.

 

Big Thief - Shark Smile

Meat MD:  That folky americana shit.  Whatever americana means.
