Isn't it weird the random famous people who show up in dreams? i think about this constantly. in the last month, i've had dreams about michael stipe singing on an escalator, jonathan aris being blown up in a quarry, and kim kardashian being my girlfriend's best friend from high school. |

jack white has a new band under an alias name and no one has attributed it to him. he and i are friends and he invites me to see them at the empty bottle. there are like 50 people there. during the opener, he stands next to me but doesn't acknowledge me at all. i'm a little annoyed because he invited me. he's also extremely tall. i don't even come up to his shoulder. when his band plays, it's just him and another guy switching between guitar and drums. the reception is lukewarm and the crowd still doesn't really notice it's jack white. after the show, i go to the green room and ask why he didn't even say hi when he stood next to me earlier. he says that before a show he's too in the zone psyching himself up and he programs his mind to see everyone in a crowd as a stranger. then i wake up.

I have stood next to Jack White at a show and he is pretty tall.
I've been having a recurring dream lately where I'm living in a high rise with a balcony, and my cat keeps jumping up on the railing. Until last night, I'd been able to catch her đż
(my cat is fine)

The other night I had a dream I was at a Bob Dylan concert. Dylan played a short (less than an hour) set, and then some people came on and did Sam and Dave's 'Hold On, I'm Comin'', and then some white-robed people came on to sing something. I had lost my seat in the theater and kept looking around for it. |

If it does get cancelled, maybe watch some Jack White on YouTube before bed and your subconscious can dream up the show for you. |

I'm living in the Real World: Brooklyn house with a bunch of friends. Our families are all over for a big dinner. I've been out the previous night with a friend and at some point realize I've gotten four tattoos on my forearms. I'm annoyed that the artist tattooed someone who was clearly inebriated since I don't remember getting them. They are tiny, very detailed 3-D views of mid-century modern interiors? Which I guess is kinda cool but not something I would pick. I wear long sleeves so my family doesn't notice them before I can decide what to do about them.
Someone has brought a very tame, pale peach colored parakeet to the house. I decide to adopt it even though I have a cat. Later, I'm laying on a fold out couch and the parakeet is playing underneath it. Someone starts to fold up the couch and I scream "THERE'S A BIRD IN THERE!!!" They keep folding it but eventually stop and the parakeet hops out unharmed.
Then, we all go up on the roof, where there are chairs and the seat cushions are giant hamburger dill pickle slices. We get into a food fight and the giant pickle slices go sailing off the roof like thick, wet frisbees.

So, Iâm going to see The National at The Vic. Itâs 2 hours after doors and 45 minutes after the opener and still no band. The crowd is starting to get restless. Then, a dj from a local radio station comes on stage, presumably to introduce the band. She proceeds to tell us that Matt has COVID, but the rest of the band is fine. They have recruited a very special guest to serve as vocalist and the show will start soon.
Lots of grumbling from the crowd, some folks leave. About 10 minutes later the band comes out and starts noodling with their instruments. Then, the lights dim and out comes the vocalist from Future Islands dressed as a pink rabbit. A few cheers, but mostly groans from the audience. They start with Mr November because Sam says itâs his favorite. He sounds like and is acting as if this was a Future Islands show, and lots of folks just leave. I make my way to the rail, realizing that Iâm in for a one of a kind night.
Then I wake up.

My buddy and I were offered the ability to take over Bell's Brewery for a week and do whatever we wanted with it. Even though I have never been to Bell's and have no idea what the brewery interior looks like, my dream was weirdly detailed (and probably nowhere close to what it actually looks like). There was a long bar with otherwise sparse sitting and no TVs - basically my ideal version of any drinking spot - and we were able to do what we wanted with the taplist and menu. Anyway, it was a super fun dream and I woke up happy this morning.

metro has announced a secret show. no artist announcement; audience will just figure it out when they get on stage. everyone's like WTF? i go there in the morning and walk in the stage door acting like i belong. inside it's a water park. someone yells out "last call" for the kids to use the water slides and then they start packing up and bringing in gear. i try to stay out of the way but still blend in as if i work there. when i see the doors open, i slip into the crowd. it looks like old town or the ryman - pit with pew seating. everyone's in the seats, except for one row of people on the rail. there's also a side stage. crew is setting up both.
hole starts on the side stage. crowd rushes over there for a few songs. back on the main stage, dave grohl and krist novoselic start setting up their own gear. no acknowledgement from the crowd, but inside i'm losing my mind. they start playing and a different singer comes out for every song. the only real one i remember is "come as you are." then tom petty & the heartbreakers play a bunch of songs from Wildflowers. but then tom petty leaves the stage and it becomes like the heartbreakers and their kids doing school of rock covers. crowd thins out big time. i stick around thinking there's no way that's how they're going to end such a show. but then i woke up.

dream 1: kb and I are throwing a party in a fancy locker room in a hotel and no one is following covid precautions. dream 2: I'm at an old college friend/hookup's house for a dinner party with him and his wife and some other college friends. At some point I'm alone in the dining room and find a pair of his boxers (which are made of a very thick knitted material such that they are kind of standing up on their own?) stuffed behind a credenza. I pick them up and think it will be funny to hide them in the freezer. Later, I chicken out and put them back. As we're sitting down to eat dinner, I realize there's a camera installed in the corner of the room and spend the rest of the evening freaking out that he or his wife are going to watch the video and wonder wtf I'm doing with his boxers. After dinner, we all head out to a local dive bar and I hear someone yelling my name. It's apparently a guy I went to high school with, but I don't remember him. He's minion-shaped. He's also standing on the roof of the bar, and pretty persistent in wanting to say hello. I try to gently explain that I'm here with friends and want to catch up with them, but it hurts his feelings. |

It's the last day of living in this house with a bunch of people. We've lived in this house about a month, and we've periodically had to do projects on it, and we were graded on them. Most of the people got A's and B's on their work, but the things I did - including a big painting I did on one of the walls - got C's and D's. So it's the last day and everyone is packing up and cleaning, and I'm wandering around, waiting for my ride to show up, and I'm trying to hold back tears because I feel that everyone who's lived in this house never liked me. I don't cry before I wake up.

Iliana Regan has recruited me to reopen her restaurant in the middle of the woods. I'm also trying to extricate myself from corporate life and there's a fair amount of drama involved in that so the dream takes place half in high rises and half running around dirt trails in the woods.

i step into a record store in edgewater. it looks more like a coffee shop. a woman at the counter asks if she can help me. i tell her i thought it was a record store. she says they have some records, but it's really an art gallery and offers me a tour. on the second floor is a room that looks like the one at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. the other people who were downstairs walk by us to the third floor, which is apparently their home. they ask the woman if sheâs going to the primal scream show. i ask where primal scream is playing. she says itâs somewhere on the south side and iâm surprised i didnât know about it.
we walk back downstairs and i look on my phone for info about the show. it appears to be an art installation with the words âprimal screamâ in the title. i tell the woman i donât think itâs the band. she says sheâs pretty sure itâs the band. i fall asleep. when i wake up, the woman is gone. i leave a note for her that she shouldn't get her hopes up about seeing the band primal scream. then i walk outside to go home. but the streets are chaos with cyclists and trams. i stand on the sidewalk trying to find a pattern in everyone's movements.

Ryan Adams is doing a residency at a Riv-like theater near my house. I'm adamant about not going, but someone gives me free tickets. I reluctantly go, but it turns out it's really good and he plays all my favorite songs, so I make plans to go one more time. The next night, I'm walking over to the theater, dragging a sled, and when I get there I realize my tickets are for the following night. I've already walked over there with my sled so I decide to buy tickets and go in.
I run into my childhood best friend, which is super awkward because I don't want to see anyone I know. I find a seat in the balcony and wait with my sled for the show to start. Ryan Adams comes up to the balcony and starts doing crowd work, cracking jokes and chatting to people. He is linebacker-sized. He spots my sled and sits down next to me and starts joking with me about it, but I respond coolly - even though I enjoyed the previous show, I still think he's a creep. My friend Brad is tending bar nearby, and he's mixed up an old fashioned. Ryan Adams grabs it and pretends to guzzle it, then says "ha ha, just kidding guys, you know I'm sober!" Brad hands him a bag of onion rings and chicken tenders, and he leaves. I wonder if that's a wise meal to eat before a big performance.
As soon as he leaves a big guy stands up and exclaims "holy shit you guys, how fucking cool was that??!?" I realize the crowd around me is all uncritical super fans and I can't stomach watching the show with them, so Brad and I leave.

So the other night I had a dream where I was posting on the board and I mentioned my âfriend (who is black)â with no need to mention their race in the context of the convo, and you all rightfully and relentlessly toasted me.

yesterday i watched netflix's Fyre movie. so, of course, last night i had a dream about a music festival.
when i arrive, someone is writing the lineup on a chalkboard. many bands are paired with each other. ganser and ratboys are doing a set together. the national and radness (not a real band?) are doing a set together. chicago and october (not a real band?) are doing a set together. there's also yeah yeah followed by another band followed by yeah. everyone figures out that's the yeah yeah yeahs, but yeah yeah is karen and one of the guys as a duo and yeah is the other guy as a solo act.
i then go to see ganser and ratboys. it's not the people who are actually in ganser, but it is the band members from ratboys. i watch a song and then wake up.
