Wondering because last night I dreamt that HAIM did in fact open for VW, but I was late and missed it. I also missed when Ezra came out playing "Hold You Now" and then Danielle came out and joined in on her werses, something I always wished would happen whenever VW opened their set with that track.

Finally, after the show I spotted Ezra leaving and shouted something to the effect of "thank you for having HAIM open!"

I have always wanted the words to describe the synth sound that is heard throughout the first album. It's the very first sound you hear (along with the drums) in Mansard Roof, and it shows up in Oxford Comma, Campus, and probably some others too. I can only describe it as a "hoot" sound. It sounds very nautical but maybe that is just my association with the lyrics and aesthetics of LP1.

I almost said something, but didn’t. If that was you in Brooklyn, 🫡

Watching Vampire Campfire and Ezra just said that Hannah Hunt is a country song. How? Can someone more knowledgeable in music explain this to me like I'm 5? I've always felt like I was pretty bad at identifying genres, and this one really stumps me.
