Pygmalion Festival 2023 @ Urbana, IL

NOTE: Original Post Title: 2023.09.24 - Weekly Wrap Up (09.17.2023 - 09.23.2023) I am bad at selfies.  I added one last week to these little journal posts and I wanted one for this week but they are kind of bad.  Or maybe I am just bad at looking excited. Anyway, I'm not late, I am intentionally not on time, because I was busy yesterday.  I spent almost all day in Champaign (Urbana technically) at the Pygmalion event at the Rose Bowl Tavern.  I'm actually not sure if there is one of these or more of them per year, but it's…

Weekly Wrap-Up (09.03.2023 to 09.09.2023)

This week will be a bit music-heavy, not so much about anything specific, but about what I have been doing in general. It honestly could almost be its own, separate post and topic, instead of a weekly wrap post.Anyway. Roughly, 4 months or so ago, Target Circle had a 3 months free offer for Apple Music and Apple TV.

I don't make it any…

Nirvana – Unplugged in New York

Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" album, recorded for MTV's Unplugged show, holds a special place as a fan favorite. Released after Kurt Cobain's passing, the album stands out for its intimate and unconventional "Unplugged" set, featuring electric effects and covers of lesser-known songs. Notable tracks include their rendition of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World," "Lake of Fire" by Meat Puppets (with their participation), and the haunting folk song "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." This album allows Nirvana to showcase a different facet of their music, blending their signature grunge style with a more polished yet raw sound, making it a cherished classic for fans and music enthusiasts alike.

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…
