I have a confession: I need a week off from super sad music. Instead, I am going to focus on what very well may be a strong contributing factor as to why I may indeed DIE ALONE.
Turns out- I am TRULY an insufferable aging hipster. And although this week's set list isn't going to be format conforming- I do believe it paints a narrative aligned with being so annoying that you die alone with your record collection.
It is worth noting that I DO NOT believe John Dwyer (OCS, Coachwhips, Pink + Brown) is an insufferable aging hipster- I simply used his picture because he was THEE Bay Area confirmed #1 cool dude of my era.
Sorry John Dwyer- you still rule!
