Introduction - Transit 🌕

I find magic through moments, whether it be notes and harmonies from a song emotionally performed live, the vastness of space, yet the fullness of the galaxies, or seeing people experience joy. These moments are inspiring, energizing, and contagious.

I challenge you this week to chase one of those moments. Find what makes you feel alive and experience it. You matter. Your well-being matters. Don’t lose sight of your passion or what brings you joy.

Special Moments ✨

1. The Home Team had their latest release “Loud” played at the Seattle Kraken hockey game. LINK

2. Sean Mackin (Yellowcard) had a feature within Golfweek and is a very cool read! LINK

Reminder 🐘

1. Something Corporate is announcing an upcoming tour. Keep on the lookout for tickets and announcements. LINK

2. Scary Kids Scaring Kids is looking forward to a big 2024 with new music and videos, festivals and tour dates, and vinyl pressings. Give them a follow to not miss the upcoming announcements and releases. LINK

Gear 🎸

1. 1981 Inventions (Matt Hoopes of Relient K) released a new Nintendo (NES) themed colourway pedal variant of the DRV that is very close competition to my Black Hyperfade variant. It is a beauty alongside the NES. Even if you don’t have a guitar, this would be a good gateway purchase towards a guitar. LINK

2. The Plot In You in collaboration with SJC Drums released a cool tour video (🎥 Connor Lenihan) increasing the excitement to see this show (only a couple more weeks!). LINK

Creators 🎨

1. The Elder Emo Cvlt regularly produce posts such as “Top 3 weekly releases you need to hear”. I always look forward to the recommendations and really enjoy their content overall. Definitely recommend giving them a follow. LINK

Shows/Tours 🎟️

1. Slow Joy announced “Joy in the Rockies” tour dates. LINK

2. Coheed and Cambria announced a tour with Primus. I have never had the opportunity to see them and am excited for the Indy stop, which I picked up pit tickets for (unless I decide to drive to Chicago or Detroit to see them with Incubus). LINK

3. Wildermiss announced some new upcoming tour dates. LINK

Comedy 🍿

1. Max St. John did a “What are you listening to” video and I have watched it so many times and resonates so much. LINK

Read 📚

1. Anti-Matter zine published an interview with Vic DiCara with an in-depth discussion of Krishnacore. The content produced week after week within the zine is so high quality and well-done I will continue to emphasize that you subscribe and support it. LINK

2. Dan Ozzi posted these photos of Thursday which were a few of my favorites from their “War All The Time” tour. I am currently in the middle of Dan’s book, “Sellout” which features Geoff Rickly on the front cover. I have been really enjoying the stories and the book overall and definitely recommend it! It’s one that I wish I would have picked up sooner. LINK

Watch 🎥

1. Pianos Become The Teeth shared concert footage in celebration of 6 years of their “Wait for Love” album. I’ve been hooked on them since their 2014 album, “Keep You” and has been a consistent no-skip album. I saw them when they opened for mewithoutyou in 2017 and seeing both bands together made for an amazing night. LINK

2. Twenty One Pilots released a new lore video hinting at a new upcoming era. This video was well done and is 🔥. LINK

New Releases 🎵

1. Incubus released a reimagined version of “Echo” from their Morning View album. LINK

2. sace6 continues to release bangers with “Buried again”. I started playing this one the moment it was released. LINK

Capture of the week 📸

1. Kay Dargen posted one of the coolest posts that I’ve seen in a long time. Kay is Hot Mulligan’s touring photographer and while on tour in New Zealand posted these photos of The Shire. They are amazing 🔥 and if you don’t already follow Kay, make sure to follow her account and checkout Kay’s portfolio. LINK
