A cup of tea, darling @chamomiletea99.bsky.social · 16/10/2026
Caught Drew & the Blue and the Dracu-La's in Jersey City tonight. Tiny venue full of rockabilly oldsters and girls dressed like Bettie Page. Loved it.

Saw Birmingham's punk & poetic two-man Big Special at the Rockwell. Last show on their US tour! Great crowd, way into it.

She's Green at the Rockwell with Smush and Witches Exist (saw them last year opening for the Stereophonics). Terrible sightlines for shorties at the Rockwell but the music was really loud and really great.

VERY last minute decision to see DIIV (brilliant!) opening for Interpol. Crowd seemed positively cemented in place. I don't think I had seen Interpol since 2002, trying to remember where exactly that was. The title track off their new album is pretty pretty good.

Couldn't have dreamed up a better triple bill. Fiddlehead, Dinosaur Jr and Turnstile out in a noreaster in Portland ME.

This is the fifth time in two years I've been in the same room as Jarvis Cocker, and I just couldn't take my eyes off him. Charisma overload. Then I danced and screamed the rest of the evening and it was just the nicest night one could possibly have.

Bikini Kill with Downtown Boys at Roadrunner, completely fabulous and raucous and inspiring and beautiful.

Sleater Kinney at MGM tonight, really excellent despite the sedate crowd and an undersold venue.

Went to see Slow Quit at OBriens with Muzzle, Lana Leone, and 711 Jesus. My phone camera decided to spontaneously downgrade to Y2k digital photo quality. Unbelievable.

You can drink four beers at a Clash cover band night in order to cope with being an empty nester! There are no rules! DC has great tiny venues!

Wunderhorse at Royale tonight. Nothing will ever top the feral and incendiary show they played to 300 people in a Montreal basement last winter, but I'm just happy they are back. Been Stellar opening with a WAY too short set, begging the question why don't they ever tour on their own??

Queuing before the show, some guy walked by & yelled "What a bunch of fucking Millennials," rude! I identify as an Xennial anyway. Nobody let him rain on the parade of a deeply nostalgic night. Hey Mercedes and the Get Up Kids opening for Jimmy Eat World playing all of Bleed American in Brooklyn.

Mr&Mrs evening with Belle and Sebastian playing all of If You're Feeling Sinister at the Orpheum. Certainly not old enough for the 30th anniversary of anything!

Went to see New Constellations (who I've been listening to a whole lot) open for The Midnight (who I had never heard of) at the House of Blues. They were so cute in their Red Sox jerseys!

Nothing at the Sinclair with Full Body 2, Cryogeyser, and Violent Magic Orchestra who were unreal. I need more Japanese death rave in my life.

Gurriers at the Middle East Upstairs with Native Son. In which this Boston crowd was repeatedly told that the Philly crowd was better!

I kept saying it would be a fallow year for shows and then this happens so I guess I'm hitting the road. I'm crazy about Been Stellar, too. What a lineup.

The Mary Wallopers at the Paradise. First night of their American tour & the crowd was exuberantly VERY Irish, VERY Boston, and VERY drunk! What a kickoff!

Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy doing Lifes Rich Pageant. I will watch them cover every single REM album from now until the end of time - they are just SO good! Bobcat Goldthwait and Eugene Mirman opened.

#last4albums Can't get enough of the new Arctic Monkeys, fully regret not seeing Shame recently at the Brighton Music Hall, forever wishing Basht. would come to the US, and Launder a very recent discovery.

Glare at the Sinclair with All Under Heaven who were also really incredible. I hugged the periphery, those Gen Z kids love the mosh.

My New Year's resolution is to read all of the books I purchased in 2025 - and there are many! But I still can't resist the siren song of the library hold shelf.

Final show of the year, and what a way to tie 2025 up with a bow. I saw more shows this year than in the past 18 years, wouldn't change a thing. LCD Soundsystem tonight at their residency at Knockdown in Queens. Old people dancing and remembering optimism.

Red Rum Club at the House of Blues. Low energy crowd, probably because they were the first of two openers for the Wombats. I'm obsessed with their Merseyside swagger, though, and can't wait for them to return & headline in April.

The one, the only, Jonathan Richman at the Somerville Theatre. I think he got at least four standing ovations, he's a treasure.

Of course if you could decide last minute to buy a ticket for Philadelphia and hop on a Greyhound on two hours sleep, you would. Of COURSE you would.
