Been awhile. Here’s a mix I made with the impossible goal of condensing 20 years of Teenage Fanclub into 10 tracks.
01. Sometimes I Don’t Need to Believe in Anything
02. Can’t Feel My Soul
03. Eternal Light
04. Don’t Look Back
05. Some People Try to Fuck with You
06. Please Stay
07. 120 Mins
08. Sidewinder
09. Like a Virgin
10. If I Never See You Again
So, I missed most of SXSW last year. This year will be different. Here’s my yearly tentative list, which is really more of a roulette wheel. All of the shows listed here are free; some are 18+, some are 21+, and some offer free beer and/or food. If you happen to have any information I’m missing regarding scheduling, please let me know!

Saw this one on youtube and nostalgia’d so hard I had to share it. Probably my favorite song of theirs, performed at the only show of theirs I was ever able to see.
“I think the mentality of minimalism, like getting rid of everything unnecessary, or just doing what we can do with our skills, is what we should embrace in these times, or in my personal life, too. In these times, and this applies to me as well, having the word ‘Less But Better’ in my mind, I thought the mind set of being simple with minimal systems was necessary. I tried to translate this outlook into my designs, despite I don’t know yet how much I can accomplish this in fashion. From now on ‘Less But Better’ will be key words for me.”
