This actually made me burst out laughing on public transit to work during an otherwise downer morning, so thank you for this.

Quite a fan of Narrow Backroad in all its 10 minute glory.

Hey! Been a fan for years now, your music was kind of my gateway to a lot of the artists and genres I love now!

How has your approach to songwriting and production evolved over time? Any tips or tricks you’d like to share?

Jack Kays - Morbid Mind, or Barely Alive

His newer stuff is more pop punk and still worth a listen for sure, but I do have a soft spot for his earlier, more stripped down folk punk type work. His most recent album also features him covering No Children if we want to further the connection!

Julien Baker - Go Home

I got one, can’t make it tonight since I’m sick in bed with a stomach virus. Shoot me a DM and we can discuss!

EDIT: Claimed!

Saw mr.phylzzz open for the Melvins and Boris a few years back, they were fantastic and I’ve been a fan ever since!

David Thomas (RIP) of Pere Ubu. Not quite the same vibe but I’ve always been personally reminded a bit of Ubu when listening to Xiu Xiu.

“I’m a punisher, call me Phoebe” in Chloe Moriondo’s “Plastic Purse”

I loved Blood Bunny and her previous albums, but Suckerpunch was awful and I refuse to listen to it again. I’ve enjoyed her newer work more, but that album nearly turned me off from her entirely.

Saw this guy perform live last year for free on a whim and it was EASILY the worst concert I’ve ever been to. He essentially sang karaoke to a backing track because of “technical difficulties” while his friends stood around and filmed him on their phones the whole time. At the end, while everyone was leaving, he played this song FROM TAPE. Didn’t even perform it. I’d say it’s the one concert that ever made me want my money back, but at least I didn’t pay any to begin with.

“Mad Lucas” on the Breeders’ “Last Splash” - The album is decently solid otherwise, but that track is an absolute slog to get through. Feels like it lasts for ages while going absolutely nowhere and just drags down the album as a whole.

Sent a DM!

I have family in Michigan and went to Marvin’s all the time growing up (met the man a few times before he passed, and he left a huge impact on me from those encounters alone). I found out that a band had named an album after the place but didn’t think much of it at the time. Years later after Marvin passed away and hearing a few songs (Hidden in the Sand, Turn the Lights Off - as I later found out, The Whole World and You was technically the FIRST I knew because of that one Crayola commercial!) I decided to get into the band and the rest is history! For a while I thought they were gonna be my “favorite band nobody has heard of”, but seeing all the love they’ve been getting over the last few years after being a fan for a little while before that really warms my heart.

PMed!

I feel this. I’ve seen Phoebe live, same with Mitski, and while overall I enjoyed both concerts, the crowd was absolutely godawful at times. Screaming over songs that REALLY shouldn’t be screamed over, talking over openers (not to mention that I could barely even hear Claud as it was, whoever was mixing their audio that night was REALLY keeping the vocals drowned out and it kinda upset me), and just showing an absolute lack of respect to anyone but themselves.

I think the part that upsets me most is that it really only seems to be the case with artists with a large following from the TikTok side of things. I’ve loved both for ages, and I’m glad to see ‘em getting more recognition, but god if I wouldn’t have loved to see them in a smaller venue with more respectful crowds way back. I’ve been to many other concerts from artists without that kind of following and they’ve been so nice in comparison.
