The day is finally here. I am in North Carolina and I am about to see Sharon Van Etten, live.
I don't mention her much let alone play her music much around people but like, she's high up on the list of people I've listened to since 2020.
2020 was a reset of sorts for my music taste.
Given the climate, it was ripe for artists like Angel Olsen, Weyes Blood, St. Vincent and Hana Vu to shape my music taste.
Sharon Van Etten has always been working in the background.
No sad song, sleepy music, or singing playlist is complete without her
There is a girl next to me who is very excited. From what I could pickup, she's been promised to be taken to Cavetown and My Chemical Romance before but the plans fell through.
Apparently the shrimp effect is not region-locked to Texas.
Everyone has been so nice to me during this trip and I really needed that.
I'm not in danger of relapsing but something is still troubling me.
It'll go away. These things always go away with time.
Old guy next to me. He smells clean. The guy he displaced (redacted). Algebraically, things are fine
Aside from Hana Vu and David Bowie, Sharon Van Etten has unexpectdly dominated my playlists.
More old people, but cool old people. Its nice to know the future doesn't have to be lame.
In every restroom I ventured, I wrote some words for the late, but not soon enough, charlie squirt.
Our free speech is getting attacked at an alarming rate. This is my duty with what little I can do.
Torres is the opener. They are good. Not great, wait what am I saying? I just barely started. IDK. I definitely feel their music has the potential to grow on me.
I listened to them on the dirve here, and for breakfast, and when I was showering followed by staring at my wet hair and glistening scars for a euphoric yet uncomfortably long time.
As off-putting as this sounds, this makes me happy.
I was not happy being mean to myself.
Cole, Nice dude.

I'm sorry Cole. You are a Cool guy! I rescind my previous remarks.
This is the best show I've ever been to in my life.
I'm so happy this happened.
