Notes:

-         - I listened the the demos from my various projects so many damn times that I didn’t even include them in the playlist because it was getting absurd how many times they were on there. But rest assured, I listened to The Gravitys, Melting Corpse, end of the summer, and Ground Up A LOT this month.

-          - Holly Vincent from Holly & The Italians lived next door to my mom when she was growing up…and goddamn that album is great

-          - All the bands today are still copying Jesus and Mary Chain

-          - I straight up listened to Peter, Paul, and Mary how you gonna front on that

-          - Digital Underground is the shit

-        -   The English Beat is one of my favorite bands

-          - Zao and Amebix are both a tad overrated in their respective scenes

-         -  “Trout Mask Replica” is fucking bizarre but its also a rare piece of true art in musical form

I also saw Dash Jacket (acoustic), Avi Zahner (acoustic), Native Americans, Mouthful Of Snow, and Rebirth Of Paradise perform live. I myself performed live acoustic as end of the summer and with my band The Gravitys.

June is gonna be awesome.
