went to the Excellency Music Fest in Bay City, MI yesterday and got to see a bunch of cool emo/punk bands, but mostly went to see Rare Candy, a folky-pop artist from Chicago who makes really catchy songs. I got to talk to him a bunch, bought a shirt and a hat, as well as a vinyl of his that's 2 of his EPs combined. And he signed it for me. Pretty good day.

Also bought Have Mercy's first album The Earth Pushed Back. They were one of the top billed bands.

It was a cool event but the Masonic Temple it took place in had poor ventilation so it was way hotter inside than outside, especially with all the people and equipment.

Bought some stuff recently. Some pre-orders from June/July showed up this month, grabbed some other stuff online, and some impulse buys at Dearborn Music.




















I was most excited for The Blood Brothers because I didn't even know it had a release in like August, and it was sold out online at a few retailers but then I just happened to see online that my local record store had it, so I ordered it for pickup immediately.

Finally got a new desk for my records and turntable. Grabbed a nice one from Amazon a while ago just haven't been able to put it together til today.

I've had the Polk speakers for years and they're good enough for now but they're my next upgrade when the time/money is right.

The Pioneer Elite A/V receiver was a gift from my ex's dad, it does its job and was free so hey, had that for like 3 years.

Just got the Audio Technica LP120 like a month ago.

It's the 16th anniversary of losing my dad, so I put on the album that helped get me through it, Atmosphere's When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That poo poo Gold. It features the song Yesterday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FJUD0rEPWM), which I usually only listen to on this day because of how heavy and relevant it is to me. Fantastic album all around, amazing production by Ant and storytelling/rapping by Slug. That album came out 2 weeks before my dad died and Yesterday is usually my only skip on the album because that song gets play usually only on this day.

Anyway, about the actual physical record, the weirdest thing about the release I have is it's the 10 anniversary pressing from 2018, which features scratch-and-sniff labels on the record themselves. They give off a lemon scent. It's actually not bad, I listened to it today and before putting it on the player I gave it a smell and yeah, still lemony. I think it's a neat little gimmick, however I'm not sure how long scratch'n'sniff aspect of it will last. Apparently stickers like that can still give off the scent for decades? Either way, I'm into it.

I have a similar relationship with that song. :hai: Atmosphere helped me through a lot of garbage, God loves ugly and You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having especially, and tracks like the The Woman with the Tattooed Hands have a permanent place etched in my mind from having them endlessly on repeat. One of the first groups I went out of my way to get every vinyl from, wel, I tried. I even managed to get my hands on this,

The Fun EP (Happy Clown Bad Dub Eight)


which Discogs tells me isn't that rare but last couple times I looked I could never find the tracks on youtube or anywhere else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGKZ39tbEc0

Lucy Ford hit hard. I can also thank Atmosphere for being my gateway into indie hip hop.

Yeah, Yesterday is one of 2 songs that I felt were cosmically aligned to release when I needed them. The other is "Smahccked My Head Awf" by Hot Mulligan from their album Why Would I Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic9mzeSN-yQ, which is about lead singer Tades Sanville dealing with his grandmother's dementia. It came out in May of last year, and just a few months earlier in January my mom was diagnosed. I was really struggling with how I was supposed to feel, and just lost and angry and rude. That song put things in perspective. I can listen to it whenever I get frustrated with mom-related things and it re-centers me. My album of last year.

Two songs that came out right when I needed them.
