What did ya’ll think about the new AB Soul album?
I checked out two great concerts from artists on the West Coast last week.
Wednesday’s Vince Staples Concert was live as he popped out and played all his hits. Some of the crowd didn’t know his deep cuts.
Modest Mouse on Thursday played a super intimate show for loyal fans. They performed one of their most mainstream albums “Good News for People Who…” However, my friend left the show with disappointment since they didn’t play Dramamine.
Sunday, I also made it to the Chargers’ game. Los Angeles beat the Titans decisively. Please buy my remaining three tickets. I can’t stand watching the Bolts be relevant while the Raiders are bad. Thanks!
