I saw this in another group and thought this group would like it
Greatest one line in a song ever, not a verse, chorus or bridge. Let's hear 'em

Brandi Carlile
I'm excited to see Brandi for the first time in Chicago tomorrow night. Has anyone seen her before?

@William Cremin I was at that show as well - fantastic performance from Brandi and the (Hanseroth) twins.

I saw her at The Moore during her tour to support By the Way, I Forgive You (as well as the aforementioned Benaroya show in 2020). Fantastic performances in both cases.

What’s the farthest you’ve ever gone for a show?
I braved an ice storm for an out-of-town Nine Inch Nails show last night and it made me think of going on musical road trips. I think the furthest I’ve gone specifically for a concert is Minneapolis (from Toronto) though I’ve certainly caught concerts further away while already travelling. My (probably mathematically unbreakable) record there is Sydney.

I drove to Spokane from Seattle to catch Sleater-Kinney's first show back from hiatus (with a yet-to-be-discovered Lizzo opening) in February 2015. Thankfully, the passes were not bad, but the music journalists who were standing in front of me and talking through both sets were annoying AF (to the point I asked them to shut up).

10. Bob Mould. Headliner of Smooch, leader of Sugar, all around amazing dude 9. Pulp is back! After 100 years they return with one of the best albums of 2025 8. Nightbus. This record came out of nowhere for me and I just LOVE the moody Chromatics meet Beach House vibes. 7. Nation of Language. Of course Nation of Language, every record they've ever done end up in my top 10 for good reason 6. Obongjayar. Just one of the most moody, cool and interesting records of the year 5. The Cure. I thought their album last year was the album of the year so having an extensive remix release? It's so good I bought 150 of them and sent to my record club outside of the schedule of albums last year. 4. Wet Leg. They are 2 for 2 at KEXP for listener's album of the year. 3. Geese. Easily could have been my album of the year. I for one LOVE the hype. We need more hype for unique and independent rock 2. Deep Sea Diver. Always a favorite, as people, as music makers, as Seattle residents. 1. Suzzallo (See Deep Sea Diver). Also, Rocky sat at our dining room table a while back as we all had dinner together and he talked about this plan he had to put down the acoustic guitar and plug in to make this record in tribute to the horrific loss his family faced. He also said it was part of his healing. He has helped a lot of people heal with this album. When the band came out as a surprise at Death and Music this year, I laughed while I cried. It was just beautiful. Wishing you all a Happy New Year.

Suzzallo's show at The Tractor was amazing. Also caught DSD, Wet Leg, and Bob Mould in 2025 (and Geese in 2025 opening for KG&tLW), which were also outstanding. There's an embarrassment of riches of great new bands and new music out there, for those willing to look for it or keep an open mind. Thank you for helping expose all your listeners to new music, John!
