Maturing is realizing the Magenta Mountain improv from Red Rocks 2022 is more psychedelic than the MM from Bonnaroo 2022, which is more harmonious and therapeutic. RR '22 is LSD, Bonnaroo '22 is MDMA. The St. Augustine 24' has its moments of brilliance, as does The Caverns '23 and Milwaukee '24, but to me Bonnaroo and RR '22 achieves near perfection.

Does this make sense? 🤭

Electronic/techno fans should consider MM from Field of Vision '25, London '25, Vienna '25 and most shows from last year. I'm not personally that moved by the genre so I wouldn't put them as favourites but you see the boys actually learning on the go and it exemplifies how far good taste and genre sensibilities can take you no matter the instrument you put your hands to.

Full length of this RR '22 Magenta Mountain performance is over 9 minutes, so just putting the improvised ending here. Camera work is a little underwhelming here so added some flourishes 💅. Enjoy! Headphones mandatory.

This oughta come as a shock to my younger self who believed tattoos were terribly stupid, irreversible decisions that people inevitably come to regret due to the simple fact that times change, and people change. And he'd absolutely be right. So if I was going to make a decision this daft, its meaning would need to justify all the ways it could go wrong and go stupid.

It had to be music.

And when I thought of music, only one band came to mind. KGLW. A band that has influenced me in ways I can't describe with words (and yet), whose sound has shaped the way I experience life, a band whose music has imbued my twenties with immense meaning, whose generosity has known no bounds, whose breadth of work not only has pushed the boundaries of what one band can do, but what music itself can do.. a band whose dynamic body of work has accurately reflected the vastness, as well as the silliness of human experience.

There are few artists that have shown me to myself the way these guys have, and have formed neural connections in my brain that'd have otherwise been impossible to create. There have been times I have consciously felt the inside of my brain being rearranged listening to them pull something off on stage, and I swear it wasn't the substances. On substances though, listening to them not only felt like I was in the presence of God, it made me believe that their music 𝘸𝘢𝘴 God.

It's the fact that these guys have already done so much good, even if they were to go ahead and make shit music for the rest of their lives, hell even if they become serial killers and commit mass atrocities - the amount of Good they've done would outweigh it all, and nothing can take that away.

Suffice to say, I like this band. Knowing what I know about them, getting a tattoo wasn't optional. It was imperative. If I were to have only one tattoo for the rest of my life, I'm ecstatic to have dedicated it to the greatest band making music today.

Huge shoutout to the amazing talent that is @noovacation. Appreciate you for bearing with my very particular feedback. Woman with the coolest job in the world. Doing god's work.

The River
————————————————————
Based on a song of the same name by @kinggizzard

This photo came from a shared photoshoot with @zoo_moravia. He lent me some of his model animals to create lush forest full of life and he also helped with general stuff like set design, posing and lighting.

In terms of adapting the song itself, I had several ideas. It started with me wanting to adapt a different song but over time, the idea was way closer to the motives of The River.

I had such a blast adapting one of the most iconic King Gizzard songs and thank you again @zoo_moravia for the help!!
