    I have the same question, I don't like my VMP copy very much.

    Golf?

    Thanks! It's definitely iffy this time of year, but we've had a week of sunny and dry...should be decent, although not green yet. Enjoy the scramble!

    Day 13: Tash Sultana October 2019, Ohana Festival – As opposed to The Strokes, Tash played a mellow yet spectacular sunset set. Just her looping various instruments creating a great collage. Was wholly unfamiliar with her before, but have made it a point to see her every time since. Play...

    Day 12: The Strokes October 2019, Ohana Festival – This was probably the only time I felt like the crowd was out of control at a show. The rush of people to the stage when the Strokes hit the stage was like a wave, honestly a pretty scary feeling. Play something by an artist with rabid fans. I...

    Day 11: Steely Dan May 2022, North Island Amphitheater – This was not a good concert, definitely felt like Donald Fagen was phoning it in. Glad to say I saw them (even if it was post-Walter Becker) is about the best I can say about this show. Play something by an artist who had a release that...

    Day 10: Simon & Garfunkel November 2023, Cox Arena – A wholly unexpected reunion tour that was fantastic. Play something by a band that has disbanded, bonus points if they did a reunion tour. Not exactly a break-up, more of a hiatus. They are coming to my area this year but I'll be out of town.

    Aw man, I had a draft saved here that got all the way up to 2006 but it's gone. I should have pasted into a doc.

    Day 9: The Cure May 2023, North Island Amphitheater – They kept it real on the last tour, keeping prices down for both tickets and merch, and putting on a spectacular set. Play something by a band that has kept the fans in mind. Radiohead did a 'pay what you want' model for In Rainbows. I've...

    Day 8: P!nk / Brandi Carlile October 2023, Snapdragon Stadium – P!nk (like Brandi) really connects with her audience and puts on quite a theatrical show, flying around the arena at the end of the show. Play something over the top Deep Purple was known as a band that played really really loud in...

    Day 7: Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers October 2019, The Magnolia – Bruce was touring for Absolute Zero, which featured Justin Vernon. Bruce was super grumpy with the folks that were calling out for Grateful Dead tunes, said he wasn’t going to play any and also stated that he thought that nobody...

    I want to do this, but 1969 has at least half a dozen albums I'd consider. Abbey Road, Let it Bleed, Zep I and II, Hot Rats, Nashville Skyline.

    Day 6: Rolling Stones February 2003, Staples Center – I’ve seen the Stones 2x, both for free. The first time was at the LA Coliseum when I worked security and got to stand right by the stage, and the second was this benefit for the NRDC, and was the first free show they played since Altamont...

    Great discipline! We usually don't watch the latest Severance or White Lotus episodes until the following day, but both shows have us excited to watch asap. Speaking of White Lotus, I'm loving this season. I guess I just like Mike White's way of telling a story.
