Sigrid – Sucker Punch

It's possible, that at some point, I am legally required to talk about this album (not really). I don't listen to a ton of Sigrid currently, though I have not moved on or anything, there is just so much other I want to listen to. I also probably burned myself out on Sigrid listening to her TOO MUCH. Her album, Sucker Punch still has a special place. I've always been into music, but I've never really been, ACTIVELY into music. I'm not any level of "hardcore" or anything, but there was kind of a perfect storm moment around me discovering…

Cat Tax Day

I'm all off this week thanks to screwy work and an extra post and just a general chaotic time. So I'm going to do a bit of a filler day and fulfill the "Cat Tax" for Blaugust.

Also, it's a bit "Music Monday-ish" as well, since it's Tuesday, because yesterday I posted about the Alanis Morrisette Concert. (Unless for some reason I didn't go and forgot to remove that line, wait, now I need to remove this line if it does happen....) Lusine -…

Alanis Morissette @ IL State Fair Grandstand feat Tenille Townes

Alanis Morrissette, singing Ironic, the first song she has actually heavily encouraged audience participation in, and her mic goes out. The audience had already been doing like 50-75% of the song without her so the band just continued and no one noticed until it came back a few seconds later. It's it Ironic? Don't cha think? Last night, I went and saw Alanis Morrissette perform at the Illinois State Fair. In traditional fashion, I'm going to ramble on a bit about the whole night's experience. For the sake of simplicity, you can get a bit more highlights about my love…
