It has been a long time since I've paid any attention to the UK Singles Chart. I thought it was worth checking out with the UK promo with physical releases.
And it has made it to #50. Might not seem like a big deal but it is the first time a Phoebe Bridgers single has made the proper chart! Which I think is an achievement worth celebrating after more than a decade of graft.

When news broke of the album release the first place I went was phoebefuckingbridgers.com At some point today that changed and it now redirects to phoebebridgers.com
It's not quite WWF to WWE but the 'F' is out it seems. We're in our PG era ;) The earliest entry on the wayback machine is from 18th April 2016. An important time period as it was in the middle of the tour with Julien Baker.
Don't know how many people have given thought to who will be on the upcoming touring band. For the minimal accompaniment on the pop-ups Christian Lee Hutson and Nick White were the only two names mentioned. Unless I missed someone else getting named.
CLH has just announced a support slot for Hovvdy's tour. At a glance I thought it would rule him out. Other practicalities aside, the dates do line-up perfectly between the end of the North American tour dates and the beginning of the European ones. So he's not totally ruled out from being on the 'Lost Tour' he'd just be kept very busy.

LACHSA is the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts that Phoebe attended. It's a public school specialising in the performing arts and that means fundraising to keep things operational.
Every year there is this auction and Phoebe usually donates an item to help raise money. Which this year is this guitar as noted above. It might be out of many people's reach as bidding is at $1,200 with less than 24 hours to go. You never know though as it's a rare bit of merch for those with deep enough pockets.
Checking out Phoebe's IMDB entry today following the release of the Primetime teaser. Spotted an upcoming credit for the short 'Invention 13' that's in post-production. It hadn't been there the last time I checked, which would have been around the time Primetime was confirmed for a September release earlier in the year.
Filmed in Nebraska and starring Emory Cohen as the lead.

Piece from the Lexington Herald Leader about how today's show played out for getting tickets. I know it's old ground at this point but coming from a journalistic source I figure it's a bit more reliable if people want to read how things played out.
