#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude
We used to go to concerts fairly regularly, but got out of the habit after Covid, even after it became safe to do so. So it feels strange to suddenly have tickets to four this summer after we heard about several that seemed too good to pass up. In June we're seeing Dresden Dolls (upper left) and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists (lower right), and in August Missy Elliott (lower left) and Santigold (upper right). Pretty excited!

Billypar I made a playlist of a few favorites, but it's tough to go wrong with anything these four have released: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/61vaiRSWiUCoFN7Rh4hSap?si=Rme-iXWAQcC2f1Sfz6p5... 6mo
TheKidUpstairs Woah, awesome concert line up! I miss going to concerts. I used to go all the time when I lived in Toronto. 6mo
vivastory I miss live music, too. All 4 sound like they will be a fantastic time. I saw Dresden Dolls years ago play w/ Sonic Youth. It was a great show! 6mo

BarbaraBB Wow what a lineup you‘ve made for yourself. I luckily live in the center of Amsterdam and go to concerts at least once a month - mostly small venues not the ridiculously expensive stadium tours. 6mo
MemoirsForMe I miss live concerts too. 6mo
Billypar @TheKidUpstairs @UwannaPublishme I've had stretches where it feels like too many, and then you take it for granted and get jaded. But I do feel lucky to still have the opportunity, even if I have get tired more easily compared to when I was younger! 6mo
Billypar @vivastory I've seen the Dresden Dolls a few times, and they always put on a fantastic show. What a great double bill with Sonic Youth headlining - that must have been a great one! 6mo
Billypar @BarbaraBB Yeah, I would like to transition to smaller, more local shows. We usually do middle-tier acts that are relatively well known but still reasonably priced. The only larger one for this summer is Missy Elliott, who is on our short list of acts to see at least once. 6mo
BarbaraBB She is so cool! 6mo
TieDyeDude Great concert lineup! Thanks for the playlist. I like the slightly discordant sound of The Dresden Dolls; they are new to me.
Not a lot of bands come to Alaska (or Western Colorado), so I definitely see less shows than when I was 20 minutes outside of Philly, but one of my favorite bands, Dawes, is coming to AK this summer, and we're not above a trip to WA for the right show :-) There is some good local talent in AK, too. Bar shows have been okay!

MemoirsForMe Oh, you‘re going to have a great summer with this line-up. Rest up now! 😁 6mo
Billypar @TieDyeDude There's nothing better than that feeling of a rare concert by a favorite band. For me, that was a Portishead show in 2008. Hope you have a great time seeing Dawes! 6mo
Billypar @UwannaPublishme Ha - seriously! 😆 6mo

Jughead saves the day time after time in this imaginative revisit of the Archie comics world.
- Ace rep: Jughead is asexual
- Hilarious text by Chip Zdarsky (of Sex Criminals fame)
- Joyful, colourful art by Erica Henderson (of Squirrel Girl Fame)
I needed something fun and this fit the bill.

Class dismissed. For next time, read chapters seven and eight, fifteen times.

I‘m rewatching the show at the moment and decided I needed to reread these because I remember them being really different but not specifics. They‘re fabulous!!! I‘ll have to wait until next month to continue with episodes 6-9 cause they‘re currently available on Hoopla but not Libby in my area and I‘ve already used my 5 borrows this month 😭😭😭😭 I definitely see the seeds of the show here, both the aesthetic and the storyline,

IndoorDame but they also feel like different worlds which I love! #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Emilymdxn #witchathon @TEArificbooks 12mo

Starting vacation reading out strong!
This was just as much fun as the first volume. Weatherbee is king of sass. Really appreciated the clear statement on bullying: it's not a joke, it's assault. And the issue to issue continuity of asexual identity for Jughead, while acknowledging it can cause friction in relationships when misjudged/misunderstood, that is resolved by open discussion. 🙌🏻

So much fun! Imaginative, wholesome, but modern in sensibilities. Loved seeing the ace rep, could benefit from a bit more diversity, character-wise. Here's hoping the next volumes are just as good!
