Not knowing how to do a meme has never stopped me from doing a meme.

Sounds like someone I know haha

I'm glad I'm not short though, that would suck. I take for granted never having to worry about that at shows.

I have to assume this has something to do with Brazilian fan culture in general. Most concerts in Brazil people are just screaming the whole time, there's a lot less appreciation for the actual music being performed. At least that's been my experience, lots of excess from men and women. I don't necessarily blame the fans, though. I think we're like this from being starved from international artists, so anytime they come it seems like a bigger deal than it should be.

Also, big festivals are my least favorite music experience. I went to this year's Lollapalooza Brazil and it was a good time but certainly not, like, because of the music. Sets are always more generic and you always have to deal with people who don't know the artist and just wanna talk through and ruin your experience. My favorite places are small venues for intimate concerts. I only experienced this in the US, I remember Maxwell's in Hoboken and The Space in New Haven very fondly because of this.

Oh yeah for sure, my only experiences going to concerts have been in brazil so I can only speak to that.
But also, i'm short, most everyone at concerts is seemingly building-sized next to me. And while I enjoy hearing the music in person, I find it hard to get into it when I constantly have to be mindful of who's around me, who will want to try and rub up against me, getting elbowed to the face, being careful to not be squeezed when people start jumping around too much, etc etc.

Best concert I ever been to was this year, a very small and intimate instrumental music festival with just unknown local bands. The concert happened on a field and everyone just laid down on the grass vibing to the music.
It was amazing.

God, get in line good or get LINED UP!

I really like it! To me it's the Chvrches album that has the best flow.
What did you think of it?

[smashingjj]

this is what I'm attending this weekend. I don't know most acts (or uninterested in them), is there anything I shouldn't miss though?

[smashingjj]

woops! bit big.

will have already missed a lot since I'm playing a gig myself on Saturday and it starts on Friday; going after my own gig. But, hypothetically, of these, I would like to see Big Ups, USA Nails, Joep Beving, that's pretty much it. maybe slowdive and churches, why not.

don't say arctic monkeys or mogwai.

[smashingjj]

preoccupations, palm, maybe.

[myosis]

trail of dead? four tet? (why does it say 'live' next to it?)

cause it's the only live band on the bill, all the other acts are just their cd's played by a coked up DJ

I really like spoon, very catchy minimalist headphone rock that’s been consistently good for decades. Very good live show, too, with a lotta sounds. I recommend getting hi hi hi for it if you can; it def qualifies as weed music, if you’re at all into that

Lead singerman for futur islands puts on a uniquely passionate show that i found to be very inspiring, as a musician/performer. Their recorded material is fairly straightforward synth pop that I would classify as above average, but live show is not to be missed

Trail of dead used to be very good, haven’t seen them in ages tho

And finally, please see let’s eat grandma and report back to us. Never heard of them but god good wat a band name shit is named up

[FlamingGlobes]

Trail of Dead are still good, also would stay for Spoon and The Kills.

apparently cocaine piss is quite intense.
i'd check that out if i was there.

Een album met twaalf tracks die bij elkaar opgeteld nog geen kwartier duren: maak kennis met Cocaine Piss uit Luik, België. Die bandnaam is niet toevallig gekozen, ze hebben een onderlinge wedstrijd gehouden wie de meest walgelijke bandnaam kon verzinnen. Cocaine Piss en Bully die ook op Best Kept Secret 2018 staat, hebben een gezamenlijke kennis: bij beide bands heeft de legendarische producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Breeders) zich bemoeid met de sound in de studio. Je kunt trouwens er gerust van uitgaan dat dit concert op Best Kept Secret 2018 volledig uit de klauwen gaat lopen. We rekenen er op, eerlijk gezegd.

i like the kills. :/

i would like to go to best kept secret some time in the future. it's not too far away, and it looks like a really nice festival. (i bet there will be loads of belgianiums there.)
didn't they have radiohead and millionaire last year? (motherfucking millionaire!)

this is what the newspaper says:

Yeah I like Cocaine Piss. Would have gone to see them if they didn't play on the wrong day. Saw them in Rotterdam and had fun.

Apparently I drunkenly danced with/talked to the singer in Utrecht some time ago but this was told to me, I have no recollection of it

yeah, RH was there last year. Motherfucker.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

have fun at the festivalletje

[killtrocity]

At least one fifth of those artists look like typos, as if someone was trolling and just hammered away at their keyboard for a line or so

[killtrocity]

specifically the third line after Manchester Orchestra

Missed this post for some reason. Not much. USA Nails, Big Ups, Joep Beving, John Maus, Waxahatchee, Hinds

I saw a small part of Let's Eat Grandma especially for you guys but it was awful
