"Unwound, mid-90s Pacific Northwest punk rock, but kind of more like a mathy punk rock. Really one of my favorite bands ever, but I've never seen this record. It looks like it's from '97, which means it would be late Unwound, which is when they got kind of moody, a little sleepy in my opinion."Watch this moment

"Rodan is awesome, they're amazing... I never got to see Rodan and it really bums me out."Watch this moment
"Future Islands, if you want to see a man beat himself in the chest as he performs and become so emotional that you think he might explode, you should definitely see Future Islands."Watch this moment
"This is I got this for my girlfriend because she heard this song by this woman Christina who was in the 80s apparently a [__] in the 80s who did covers of other people's songs... it's got a lot of different people on it none of whom I've heard of at all."Watch this moment
"Wampire, I don't know how to say their name, but they to me sound a lot like Future Islands a little bit, at least with the kind of overdramatic singing."Watch this moment
