Do you not like Japandroids teekoh? If you just don't like their music I get it, but I thought that was an awesome set.

Oh man the wildest part of last night's Lauryn Hill set was watching my friend realize he's going to be standing up in a wedding as the lights came on at the end of the show cause our mutual friend got engaged yesterday. What a time

[dij22]

Top ten sets:

10.) Sandy Alex G
9.) Julien Baker
8.) Moses Sumney
7.) War on Drugs
6.) Lauryn Hill
5.) Courtney Barnett
4.) Raphael Saadiq
3.) Fleet Foxes
2.) Japandroids
1.) Big Thief

[teekoh]

They're not my favorite, but I was expecting a little better live. It may have been that my expectations were too high given how much folks have raved about their show, but I thought they were just ok. I also only caught the last three-four songs.

Despite the okay lineup, this weekend was a lot of fun. I think the only boarder I saw all three days was Tweet.

RIP camp

Feel very stupid that I didn’t know the vocalist for Irreversible Entanglements was Moor Mother.

<3 her.

How was that set?

Phenomenal. I was blown away.

We’ve got way too much shit going in this week already, but I was really tempted to go to their show at Constellation last night, too.
