The head versus the heart.
Today’s Emo: Blood / The Middle East
‘and she’ll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor / next to a family portrait drawn when you were four’
Holy shit this is emo. In fact, if you listen to the words in Blood, it is arguably the most emo song I have yet to post. It is also one of the most beautiful, tracing the sad lineage of a sibling to a father to a grandfather, who has waited to die ever since his wife died because… ‘it was the only woman you ever loved / that got burnt by the sun too often when she was young / and the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood.’
Australian The Middle East creates such bone chilling songs with such a sweet sound, and this makes them all the more haunting. A song that lingers. #emo
Today’s Untz: Sunlight / Bag Raiders
‘don’t you know that / when I see your face / it’s like sunlight dripping’
OK OK a little light hearted untz to shake off that darkness and step into the sunlight of the weekend. Disco rhythms, smile inducing lyrics, and a laissez faire feel, the song is dripping with summer. Keeping up with today’s Aussie theme, this dance duo from Down Under played what I heard was an all out epic show at Rickhaw Stop a Thursday back (think clothes ripped off and beer showers in a good way). I am kicking myself for not catching them at my one of my favorite venues, but I know my workday on Friday appreciated my discretion. Next time. #untz

I didn’t know there was a time when clothes ripping and beer showers were a bad thing. Another great post. Keep it up!
Beer showers at Coachella will be easier to acquire than water showers. Should also come across plenty of clothes getting ripped off. Can’t wait.
Your Friday posts are always the perfect start to my weekend! Especially when I’m drinking wine in the shower to celebrate. Not gonna lie, I kinnnnd of wish I was coming to Coachella next weekend instead of going to Palm Sunday mass with my grandmother in Philadelphia…
not too late? just drop $1000 for a ticket and hop on a plan š
