Summer is over, the trees have engaged in their equivalent of seasonal immolation, and we are done with festivals. We can happily work from our desks and sleep in our own beds. Anything short of throwing a festival in an apple orchard that’s willing to serve us an extra thanksgiving dinner and you can consider us out. To everything there is a season, and ’tis the season for album releases and film reviews. Here’s everything we covered in September of 2018.

Don’t forget! Supporters of The East’s Patreon get to see bonus content, included all the extra photos from festivals that didn’t make it into the articles. That’s thousands of extra photos. There’s probably pictures of cats and dogs in there, and as denizens of the internet you need those in your daily lives! Also you’ll be supporting the arts.
