Yeah, so I'm pretty surprised and disappointed to see this.

 

The biggest problem I have is Parker, a grown man, kicking a teenage girl into the crowd. Don't care what straw man argument you have to defend it but you don't put your hands on a girl/woman, much less kicking.

 

That video is pretty disturbing, can't think of any world where that is justified in any way

 

Wasn't trying to defend or justify, my bad if I came off that way.

 

Yea a girl taking a selfie on stage while someone is trying to play is really annoying... With that being said there are a million better ways to deal with the issue than dropkicking a girl in the back. I don't get how attacking anyone especially from behind could be your natural instinct. I personally would have stopped the show and been like "everyone stop we have to wait until this girl is done taking her selfie... Are you finished" ok let's continue.

 

worst argument in defending parker I've read so far:
"This kind of shit happens at shows no matter what, people are only making a big deal out of it because it was a band member. If this was someone in the crowd that did that to her no one would give a single fuck and no attention would be drawn to it whatsoever." (18 year old girl that i'm friends with on facebook).

 

The Avalanches are actually coming back, and are doing some shows this summer

American Empire is so good! But man, I loved The Graduate. I say it every time they're brought up, but man, I'd kill to find a vinyl copy of Only Every Time haha.

 

Wait, how does that TSSF thing not end with the singer arrested for battery after he drop-kicked someone in front of hundreds of witnesses?

 

Because it's "punk rock."

 

are there provisions when purchasing a ticket? idk enough about law but i imagine the venue's gonna want to absolve itself of any shit at least

 

In a last minute decision, I'm seeing Man Overboard for what will probably be the last time ever at the Church. I gave up on these guys a couple years ago but fuck if the nostalgia doesn't hit me tonight. 2010-me is gonna get set loose tonight.

 

Cassino, The Shins, Acceptance, & Grizzly Bear!!! New music coming! I'm so freaking happy!!!!

 

Can anyone recommend more stuff that sounds like this song?

 

Saw Aurora play a show tonight & it was bonkers. Venue was filled to capacity, crowd was the most enthusiastic I've see there in years, and several people I talked to drove 3+ hours to see her. Performance itself was tons of fun & she commanded the stage like a festival circuit veteran. If you're able to snag a ticket for one of her remaining North America dates, I could not recommend it highly enough.

 

Has anyone made a Taylor Swift Thread? I know we used to have one on AP.

the last Young Statues album is so good, still spin it regularly. Sad it didn't seem to really catch on

 

Anyone a Gary Clark Jr. fan? Wondering what I should check out first by him.

 

I think his first album Black and Blu is really great, he goes a lot of different musical directions and I think it works well. I think his new album is horrible, sadly, sounds like one long boring song

 

Black and Blu it is then, haha. Thanks.

 

I haven't gotten super into his recorded stuff but he is an absolute must-see live.

 

How come we're not talking about music's greatest conspiracy of the decade.

 

lmao someone invited me to that tonight amd I was too drunk to know if I was being fucked with or not at first

 

Agreed. I'd rather just spend two hours watching live YouTube videos
