Here are some notes from the most recent episode of my podcast, released on May 9.
JarFive
- Steve Albini has passed away at age 61.
- Dua Lipa releases new album “Radical Optimism.”
- St. Vincent released her new album “All Born Screaming.”
- Austin City Limits lineup was revealed.
- BeachLife Festival wrap up
Podcast Feature – How do you survive at a festival? (Dedicated to my seasoned listeners.)
- It’s a marathon – pace yourself.
- Stay hydrated!
- Most events don’t have seating accommodations in GA. Also, bathrooms are better in VIP.
- Older people and younger people can be equally annoying.
- Alcohol costs a lot – pregame. Or take an edible.
- Mixed drinks are expensive, and usually watered down. Stick with beer or wine.
- Bring a charger, water bottle, sweatshirt, earplugs (Eargasm is my choice), and sunscreen.
- When texting people, include the time you text them in the message. Signals can be bad. And have meet-up points.
- Go solo if friends weigh you down.
