Monday was 5 days ago now. My neck and spine still feel like it doesn’t belong inside. The sun slips past my broken blinds every morning and forces me to ask why. Who decided that this week my days would start with such agony? Was last week not enough? I’d rather wake up anxious than in physical pain but here I am. Friends are telling me I’ll be fine by next week and I pray it's true. I don't have health insurance and going to the doctor is the last thing I want to do right now. This all feels bigger than me. Like it's a tax I have to pay for something bigger. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what all this might mean. 

Last night I made my return to the indie rock show. Man oh man did I miss it. After a month on tour watching the same show night after night I was desperate for something fresh. Recently I’ve realized it's hard to know when the indie rock show is happening without the help of Instagram. I hate to say that but it's true. Then I remembered that oh my rockness exists. I saw that Venturas own Chatterton was playing in LA on the 19th. I added it to my show tracker list. Then I got sidetracked by an incredible hang to start my day yesterday and I honestly forgot about the show. Thanks to the help of a friend I was reminded and we carpooled to the show. 

Unlike most indie rock shows all four bands that played were good. The lineup included Chatterton, Afters, Starling, and Fever Dream. I love Chatterton, I think their one of my favorite bands right? I went home wanting more of whatever Afters were selling though. I had never seen or heard of them away. Despite having a laptop on stage and no drummer I loved it. There was something swagy about the duo. I’m excited to see what happens next with them. 

There was going to be more but then the weekend got the best of me.

• Obvious by After: This is the one
• Fields Of This by Chatterton: I love this record. If you haven't heard please listen 
• Around The Bend by KAN KAN: I love this song and this cover of it is great!
