"not even brown nosing but I really wanted to come to Dublin. I told my booking agent, book me somewhere in Dublin and he said 'you have no market here' and now it sold out!" So happy for her.
what was the setlist like? heard people saying her recent shows havent been as puberty 2 heavy as expected
That mid-album stretch of Fireworks - American Girl - Losing Dogs - Crushed Little Stars - Thursday Girl is so solid, goddamn.
I'm glad she addressed her ability to be concise -- this cutting brevity that implies more than it really gives. Gives the maximum amount of meaning with the minimum amount of words. I'm glad she mentioned how she has to be that way, kind of ensure that people keep coming back to hear more. Mitski is fucking great, honestly
love this y'all should check out the lucy dacus record. surprised that hasn't similarly caught on around here. very good
The Lucy Dacus record is proof that if you are a minority and aren't twice as good as a white dude, you will get lost in the shuffle and that is fucked up. It's at least on par with a lot of the stuff making people's year end list, for example, but is not really making those slots. I don't make year end lists, but in general the year end lists of publications is a good way to kind of measure the representation of artists in certain genres imo and indie rock is still lagging, despite Puberty 2 making appearances in most. indie rock, and guitar music in general, is heavily into tokenism. I still don't feel like I listen to nearly enough non straight white dudes though, but shrug I will say I'm making a conscious effort to get familiar af I realize im not saying anything new but it was just really bothering me as I discovered that album recently and it sucks it took so long
