Crazy busy summer careening by. Attended Firefly Music Festival for the 4th time, Buried 2 grandparents, grieved with a friend for the loss of a grandparent. Sister proceeding with an engagement of questionable wisdom. Life keeps on happening. It's all I can do to grab on some of it as it screams by. Was able to take in the New Pornographers Brill Bruisers tour, which was a great time. This is music from Noisetrade, ASC, or other places...
