Starting out, I published some words about a new album of music by the band Wombo that has been on repeat since its release. Danger: contains wonderful earworms and compelling songs and tones.

I first heard Wombo when our band had an off night on tour in Lexington, Kentucky the night after playing a very fun basement show with our friend Chlorine (Chlorine is a great project we should talk about soon, this album from 2023 is especially transcendent that I have strong associations as a soundtrack to my one and only Las Vegas trip during the timeframe it was released. Imagine me walking through obnoxious blinking and clanging hotel casinos, in and out of oppressive heat, sometimes on a weird little hotel connecting tram, headphones in and Chlorine guiding me). The night after the basement show, Joey from Chlorine was involved in a ramshackle event in a sprawling restaurant bar with stages inside and out (there could have been multiple venues involved) and we stumbled upon Wombo shredding the gig. Most probably 2018 I think. We all loved what Wombo was doing and started following their releases in the coming years.

I did start a bluesky for the website but I'm struggling to determine how active I can be on there, given my loss of appetite for social media. However, I'm constantly in conflict. Here you go: https://bsky.app/profile/concretepeninsula.bsky.social
