My brain is still woking on the David Byrne performance. It was so visually pleasing and thoughtful. Every moment was impactful and filled with intention.

Radar had been a great coach as we (Outer World) prep to play live as a two piece for the first time. Purring in place of applause is something I could get used to.

Kenny and I are playing as a duo tomorrow in NJ for the first time. We normally play as a 5 or soon to be 6 piece, so this is gonna be quite an exciting change up and challenge.

Pylon Reenactment Society does such a great job giving fans Pylon hits, but also noteworthy new matetial too. I am impressed I stopped dancing long enough to take any photos of their set.

Tracy Keats Wilson @courtesydesk.bsky.social · 17d

Nape Neck was an absolute crowd favorite and should not be missed should you have an opportunity to see them perform.
