The Weather Station

The Weather Station put on one of the most *complete* small-room shows I can remember: exquisitely structured and lit, a three-act emotional journey from alienation to connection. It was my first concert since the storm and I wasn’t in the moment for it and then it filled me. Go see if you can.

an age ago we played shows with the Weather Station, and last week Matt told me to give their new one a listen. "Never enough in a world without trust / determined, broken open, and refusing to adjust" -- some very sharp writing in the confessional mode, very worth hearing

when the Weather Station said “right now, it feels like we’re at this peak of disposability in all art,” yeah I really felt that

I like to say I respect despair as an emotion but not an analysis. As an analysis it assumes we know what can and can't happen, and the future is both uncertain and at least to some extent what we make of it. Plus why would I give them what they want, as premature surrender? Thanks Senator Schatz.

Be furious be angry but despondency is what they want from us. And be very suspicious of people on the left who say “we are cooked” or whatever. Imagine the civil rights movement, or suffrage, or any movement for change, hitting a roadblock and just “saying well we are well and truly fucked now.”
