Really good episode this week:
Two years in a row following that trajectory. Something out about how theyβre putting together summer tours without as many multi-night runs as they step up in venue size?
What if they just did four cool sets with some Christmas songs sprinkled in

kinda digging the new song

Man, we get that show in San Diego maybe 3 outta 10. Skipped so often.
Slyly trying to promote him with that ambiguous term βdisgracedβ that operatives secretly covet
