The Kite String Tangle is another recommendation from a good friend at work.  She suggested listening to this artist as a cure for those down days where stress and anxiety can overwhelm and overcomplicate.  I've definitely had a few of those this week.  So I figure, why not?And after some shuffling around, I landed on …

Dead Can Dance’s “I Can See Now” & “American Dreaming”

Dead Can Dance's 1994 live album "Towards the Within," featuring "I Can See Now" and "American Dreaming."

Setlist: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard perform @ Desert Days on 10.13.18.
Going to start the morning off a little strong with a playlist of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's setlist.  This one's from their Desert Daze performance on Day 2 - 10.13.18.  It's missing one track. "The River," due to its absence from Spotify.  It fell somewhere in the 10-11th song of the show.  That …
