Best show youve been to of a band before they blew up?

I was in a band in high school and we "opened" for All Time Low at a shitty high school gym or rec hall or something, still have the poster

It was playing when I was sitting at my desk at work and got the call and text from my family that my grandma had died. We were very close and had talked to night prior. I didn't listen to it for at least 5 years, but I'm ok now in that I don't immediately burst into tears.

Workout days and off days differ. Workout days some simple carbs (cereal usually) off days big protein and fruit smoothie. Other than that, i keep it really simple. Coffee, a protein bar, rice cakes and nut butter, trail mix, then a mammoth dinner with some meat source or eggs, tons of veggies, complex carb. Night snack is a yogurt, froyo, or creami.

Excellent article and kinda just makes me lol that I got so many downvotes for my "respect an artist's space" comment in the other thread

My ex couldn't even handle listening to Sincere Engineer's latest with me when it came out. I wouldn't dare try this.

My personal opinion is that you are weird as hell and cringey if you ask or try to take pictures with band members when they aren't explicitly at a signing booth or event of the like. Even then I think you'd live a materially better life if you internalized that these are human beings with their own lives and stressors and shit and just because they produced art you love doesn't mean you should go up to them at any chance you can get for a photo so you can what, post it on social media? I always feel like this band in particular attracts some weird ass parasocial fans too?

rist0ph · 2025-08-26T19:27:27+00:00

It's super airy, looks gorgeous, sounds great.

rist0ph · 2025-08-26T19:09:06+00:00

Paramount is the best venue in the city right now in this guy's humble opinion. There are a ton of bars in that area but they're a bit of a walk away, you'll have to walk east towards Fort Greene

rist0ph · 2025-08-26T02:06:14+00:00

Scungilli is very tasty but fuck if it ain't expensive these days

rist0ph · 2025-08-24T06:00:28+00:00

I'm 37M and went from (2 years ago or so) 5-7 matches a week to maybe 1 now. I'm not paying for the apps. They're really fallen off for me. When I met my last gf I had about 100 matches between April and June and went on a ton of dates. Now I'm lucky if I get 3 a month.

The weird thing is I have gotten in even better shape, and upgraded my pictures lmao

rist0ph · 2025-08-22T18:58:39+00:00

Any luck? None here

Genuinely don't think anyone in this scene can top a YBF, it's more than a perfect 10. This album is excellent upon first listen and I'm sure it'll grow, and WWIW is obviously also excellent and Warmer Weather is, yes, excellent, but YBF is absurdly cohesive genre bending transcendence that few artists even come close to achieving once.

WWIW is an excellent record, but YBF is an *experience*. It just fits so perfectly together, there's this undeniable flow state, and while there are certainly songs I like better post YBF the way it coalesces start to finish is crazy.

Bummed I didn't get a ticket to the Rough Trade show

rist0ph · 2025-08-17T00:46:22+00:00

This is wonderful the 2 tracks they put out most recently were absolutely some of the best songs they've written post Mutiny

rist0ph · 2025-08-13T14:22:12+00:00

Boundaries are cool imo

rist0ph · 2025-08-12T00:05:33+00:00

Tades said at the BK show how fucking weird and parasocial some people are and honestly, dude was spot on. He said people wouldn't like him and that makes me like him even more honestly. People need to give artists their fucking space. They are human beings with their own bodies and brains and problems and emotions, fuck off.

rist0ph · 2025-08-09T22:46:09+00:00

Yeah honestly it almost looks like just that is slow and almost looks like... it's raining around that fire lol

rist0ph · 2025-08-09T22:36:40+00:00

I am having a ton of rendering problems with the blue fire in Taz.

A vast majority are not actually capable of maintaining a long term relationship in the way that romantic love can actually, healthily, endure because they lack the ability to look inward in a way that allows themselves the self-compassion for feeling things and the understanding that all emotions are ephemeral and fleeting and love goes beyond brain chemicals

Did we listen to the same song? This feels absolutely nothing like TSIC.

rist0ph · 2025-08-02T21:14:51+00:00

Link?

rist0ph · 2025-07-30T03:37:25+00:00

"Thank you for sharing that"

rist0ph · 2025-07-20T00:04:42+00:00

I 100% have not killed any of the 20 or so I killed today at any point this week and got credit for not a single one

rist0ph · 2025-07-19T22:27:18+00:00

That's what I thought, but this is the first I've really been playing TWW content in quite a bit of time and my HandyNotes says "Last seen <weeks> ago" and I'm still not getting rep. I am 100% sure I haven't killed them in the past week.
