Shirts I Can No Longer Wear in Public, part 3 🪦 Dearest Bauhaus shirt, I can probably still wear you in public, arguably. You were given to me already-ripped by a high school boyfriend in the 90s. You are no longer comfortable to sleep in. I will miss you. 😢 #bauhausband #tshirtcollection #ripshirt (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTkyxxs934/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shirts I Can No Longer Wear in Public, part 2 🫣 Dearest Blonde Redhead shirt, we have seen some shit together, eh?

Shirts I Can No Longer Wear in Public, part 1 😅 Dearest Autolux shirt, you have served me well. I loved your serged sleeve hems and light blue color. #autoluxband #tshirtcollection #ripshirt 🥺 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTjuxjsVEH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sky Cries Mary “A Return to the Inner Experience” long-sleeved t-shirt that was actually @kidgit11 ‘s but I would have loved to have this in the 90s. So I wear it in 2023; good timing because the band are working on a new album 🤘 #skycriesmary (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CogZ_E0MT_R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

😂 This is hilarious; I don’t even remember purchasing these Radiohead tickets or planning a trip to Glasgow in June 2008, but apparently I was on a mission… that sadly failed. I am thankful that 14 years later I'm finally going to Glasgow 🥴🫣🫠 #glasgow #radiohead #ticketstubs #glasgowgigs #gigsineverwentto #unusedtickets (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClejAf3vhth/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Theater of the Mind” immersive experience by David Byrne & Mala Gaonkar (and about 100 other people who’s hard work on the production is obvious👏👏👏) Our “David” guide for the evening was Kristina Fountaine, who was amaaaazing ✨🖤) I didn’t have high expectations but this definitely was NOT disappointing. The Google reviews were mixed and I can see how it’s not for everyone. Being socially anxious, I was definitely uncomfortable at times. But thought it was worth it 👍👍 Thanks to Katrina​​ for pushing my out of my comfort zone as usual (though at times I think she was more mortified than I was 🤣) Anyhow, don’t expect “meow wolf” due to the word “immersive”. It is more immersive theater, a term which makes my skin crawl 😅 BUT like I said totally worth it; the themes and content were right up my alley. Thanks David Byrne! #theaterofthemind #davidbyrne #denvertheater #thingstodoindenver (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CilPBfIvfmi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you like any of the same post-punk/shoegazy music that I like, I highly suggest you check out “The Picture Tour”, who is Billy Armijo (also a guitarist in Emerald Siam, and who are playing Down In Denver at Larimer Lounge this weekend). You can listen/buy at thepicturetour.bandcamp.com I’m not good at reviews, but @queencitysoundsco reviewed “Before The Sound, Before The Light (2022)” for @birdy.magazine, so go check that out! #thepicturetour #denvermusic #denverbands #denvershoegaze #coloradomusic #shoegaze #postpunk (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTWeCYMuH9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sandman advert in Rolling Stone magazine, May 17, 1990. Note no mention of Neil Gaiman; just Clive Barker 🫢 On the back is a continuing page of “Hot Comic Books”. #Sandman #TheSandman #Sandmancomics #NeilGaiman #DCComics #RollingStoneMagazine #1990 #ikeepeverything (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6-f0NrtiB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Being someone who avoids making phone calls at all costs, I find it hilarious that I apparently CALLED Kevin Spencer at Robot Records in San Antonio at one point! 😜The letter he sent with my order is not dated, but it had to be 1993/4. I purchased Edward Ka-Spel’s 'Inferno / Illusion' 10", and the “bonus” included was Andreas Martin’s 'Doppelpunkt Vor Ort' 10". I suspect these photocopied LPD photos (one was autographed) are also from him. Kudos to a patient guy dealing with a weird and awkward teenager calling him up. #RobotRecords #AndreaMartin #TheLegendaryPinkDots #LegendaryPinkDots #EdwardKaSpel #vinylcollection #musicnerd #early90s #90skid #90smusic (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUeGwDrAzV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
