Though I’ve gone to a million fucking chiptune shows in the past couple of years, somehow Saturday night was the first time I made it to Pulsewave. (I know!) The lineup this month was pretty irresistible though: Danimal Cannon (also of Metroid Metal and Armcannon fame), b4kn (who puts the Jonathan in George & Jonathan) and Knife City who is one of my favorite local musicians of any genre. There were beers and beats and awesome face and someone brought a dog, so what more could you really ask for? I posted my Knife City video already, but there’s some more over on my Vimeo page.

I don’t go to sleep no more very often anymore because I think even over the space of twelve years, one hundred times is probably more time than one needs to see the same play, even a large strange play that is also very good. I still have an enormous amount of affection for this big weird building and all the big weird shit inside it, but there’s generally a lot of things competing for my $150 at any given moment. you know how it is.

anyway! all of this to say I went to the show a few weeks ago for the first time since summer 2022, and I had a blast, with the exception of the approximately twenty minutes total I spent in manderley, which was a little bit heartbreaking, if I’m honest.

but that’s okay. all of the new cast (and all of the new-to-me cast) are great, all of the not-new cast are great, I had a great time stalking the cunning man as per usual, everything is great. (please do actually fix manderley though.) ok thanks bye!
