The End of Comfort Food: Last of the Past from “80’s Weekend #4”
Okay, it's taken me a lot longer than anticipated to finally put a pin in this prolonged '80s flashback series, best known as "80's Weekend" (or the plural version of that, since this will be the third and final installment of this series).

Miami Horror performs at the Teragram Ballroom on 11.09.19.
Honestly, I don't think I've touched this blog since late August/early September of last year.

Tame Impala perform the 2nd of two sold out shows at the Forum in Inglewood, just days before the city stay-at-home order took effect.
It's high time to finally get this Tame Impala post up and out. I've metaphorically pondered it for near two and a half months. It's literally collected layer upon layer of pixel dust on my home system, concurrently occupying a fair slice of storage on my iPhone's video limits. And back at the start of …

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ “November”

I've been sort of curious about these Aussie psychedelic adventurers known by the oddly titled moniker of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Seems a bit bonkers. And for the most part, they are. Sadly, I missed them the last few times they've come around, once at the Regent, followed by an obvious and well-curated slot at Desert …
