now concerts are kinda a thing again ... what is the last concert you went to ? i saw benee a few months ago, she's from nz. her song never ending has been inside my stupid brain for longer than i'd care to admit.

i saw the first band of two people i'm also doing music with perform this weekend. that was pretty fun. the second act was doing kind of a Suicide (the band) thing with tape loops, solo. that went pretty hard.
before that i saw black midi. the music was dope, but they didn't communicate with the audience much and didn't do an encore.

The last one I went to was Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour in London (and I was going to go to her Lover tour but then covid cancelled it so I got a waffle maker instead).
The next one I’m going to will be Phoebe Bridgers, again in London.

i saw haim, the mars volta and florence + the machine this weekend at a festival
i went mostly for haim and florence and both were fun concerts, they're great live and they were clearly very happy with the energy the crowd was giving them
then the mars volta played in between those two concerts on a different stage... and what ended up happening was that most people who'd just seen haim play then sat around waiting for florence, so there were embarrassingly few people actually watching the mars volta (which was sad, i think it was their first time in brazil since 2003...)
anyway i didn't really know their music but decided to watch and it was amazing! just really impressive musicianship and sort of long and unpredictable songs which were fun to get to know live. tbh afterwards i was really excited to listen to their studio recordings but the concert experience was so much better (which i guess is a testament to how good they are live)

also when the mars volta first got on stage they started jamming out and the frontman (a funny looking middle-aged man with a huge head of hair wearing a suit) just yelled out "CONTEMPORARY JAZZ!!...EXPENSIVE JAZZ!!...FREE JAZZ!!...F*CKIN...JAZZ!!!!"

last week i went to a kind of Brechtstravaganza that featured Marc Almond of Soft Cell fame singing Brecht/Weill songs, readings in translation from Tom Kuhn (who recently translated Brecht's Complete Poems) and also a choral performance (in german) of all of Eisler's settings for "War Primer" (which i had read but i didn't even know it had been set to music). it was pretty cray.

The penultimate weekend I saw three post-punk bands perform at the Super Sonic in Paris (they have free shows). The first and last were meh, but the one called Shapes was pretty good. The singer sounded like a dead ringer for Bauhaus. I enjoy that term quite a bit
