We’ve reached the end of Festival Season. At least the bulk of it. We’ll be picking off stragglers for some time yet, but there won’t be many more long weekends away from our desks, sifting through a few thousand photos in the back of a field. With Harvest Jazz & Blues out of the way (see our Patreon feed below) we can indulge in the great sin of our generation: a sedentary lifestyle. Still, it means there’s a lot of festival recaps on the way, and few surprises besides.

Thus, the cycle is completed.
Famously, science has proven that soda exists independently of this cycle, and yet arrives at the same results, but at least no one gets hurt. Life is a curious thing.
So, we may have mentioned this already, but we won an East Coast Music Award for Media Outlet of the Year this month. That’s pretty big news for us. We don’t even know what to do with this news and it’s sort of resulted in us carrying around award everywhere like some sort of cross between a totem of power and a teddybear. One of these days we’ll manage to settle down with it and take some proper family photos, but for now we’re launching head first into festival season. Here’s what we saw in May, 2019.
