Wed 23 Oct – Toro y Moi, The Sea and Cake

so I went with 2 of my friends who are girls, going to terminal 5 is always pretty easy and simple after a few times. I pre gamed with some rum the entire trip there and by the time we got there toro y moi was just about to go on. Got a beer and seriously danced the whole time like I was pretty drunk but I love this guy. He has a huge ass afro now btw haha I wish he played some older stuff but still a…

showed up after 9, missed thundercat so just drank until flying lotus came on. he was playing very few jams and half of his set was captain murphy shit. too much rapping and not enough jams, his set was pretty similar to when I saw him last time. I just thought flying lotus would have switched it up and kill itSun 5 May – Red Bull Music Academy presents Flying Lotus

Tue 9 Apr – TOKiMONSTA

pre gamed before with a good friend, drank 2 beers and I had half a pint of rum in my cup during tokimonsta and she tore the place apart. She is so much more prettier in person and has talent to match, those beats were so fucking nasty, i'd def. see her again also Brooklyn is where it's at, you don't get patted down and everyone is so chill.

Tue 29 Jan – Cat Power, Angel Haze, Sisu

they didn't pat me down this time when I got there, I guess cat power doesn't bring the drug enthusiasts even though I smelt some delicious pot during her set. chan didn't play any of her old stuff which I was a little upset about but a solid performance none the less.i guess this tour she's on is just to support her new albume. i'd see her again for sure because maybe she will actually play all the old stuff, I was hoping to shed a tear because her music is…

Sun 7 Oct – Flying Lotus, Teebs, Thundercat, Jeremiah Jae

first off, terminal 5 sucks i mean they pat you down at the door the sound wasnt the best it could of been, great show but a better environment could have helped. jeremiah jae was first, i got there a little late but his set was pretty good and he got a little weird. haha even a little bit of freestyling, after that had a beer and then thunder cat went on. haha everyone knows thundercat is a prodigy on bass, no question but for me it seemed like to…

Thu 2 Aug – Gold Panda, Shigeto, Beacon

i love the bowery ballroom, first and for most. no one pats you down so you can bring in treats for yourself and they had extra tickets for everyone. Beacon was kind of whatever not bad but nothing crazy. Shigeto was crazy, kind of stole the show when he would play the drums for his own beats haha. gold panda was great though i was about 5 beers deep and had some jameson during his set. I was dancing with 2 cups in my hands, he was killing it haha. Great show.

Fri 30 Mar – Teebs, Sonnymoon, Time Wharp

haha crazy night to say the least. took the train into the city, no problems but when you get there they pat you down so just a warning. it was a basement show with a bar, new castle 8 bucks and cheap beer 5. i was with my best friend drinking and met a girl there.

forget the first dude but he wasn't bad

then another guy, he never said his name, he was alright but he had a sitar player later in his set which was interesting

this group then came…

Wed 18 Jan – Madlib, Freddie Gibbs, J-Rocc

pre gamed at my uncles, we then picked up a friend and consumed on the ride there which wasn't bad at all. we get there and walk in the place with no problems. get a magic hat number 9 and waited for the show to start.

first was J-Rocc, had a very nice solid set. playing real nice beats, everyone was heading nodding or dancing getting into it. Also i noticed a lot of nas being played, from like 30 second parts to a minute or more of a song. more number…

Mon 20 Jun – Flying Lotus, Teebs, Thundercat, Austin Peralta, Strangeloop

Getting there was easy parked my car in a parking garage then took the train into the city. Took 2 sub way trains and walked a little and i found the place ok. I had previously gotten supplies ready for the occasion so i went to a close by park and got in the right mood. Walked back to the place and while waiting for the doors to open had some beers and made some friends.

Strangeloop was first, he set the tone of how the night was going…

Wed 6 Apr – Explosions in the Sky, Low, Eluvium

i went with my best firend so i was already in a great mood. we ended up walking to radio city from penn station, wasn't positive on the direction but we ended up there somehow haha. we found out explosions in the sky wasn't playing until 9:40 so we went and found a corner to get "inspired". walked back and then sat down in seats we weren't sure was ours. after a beer i noticed my friend was gone and i became nervous about what happened to him. i got…
