Shoegaze greats Drop Nineteens made a masterful return last year with the great Hard Light, their first new album since the ’90s, and this year they gave their 1992 debut album Delaware a long-overdue reissue. They haven’t done much in the way of touring, though, having only played six shows since getting back together (they were very good at their Brooklyn show in April). They’ll remedy that, a little, on a short fall tour leading up to their appearance at Levitation 2024.

What makes a Zodiac Sign low maintenance? Independence can make someone low maintenance. Someone who is reliable, dependable, and punctual, can make someone low maintenance. Someone who tends to want to do things on their own can be low maintenance. Low-maintenance people tend to be those people who do on their own but are not necessarily alone. They rarely need or ask for help. They are self-motivated, often energetic, and can be considered leaders is many cases. Now me, some say I am low maintenance and others say I’m high maintenance. Maybe I’m both. Let's see what zodiac signs are considered low-maintenance.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

Former Girls singer/guitarist Christopher Owens is back with his first new music in seven years. Set against a shimmering mix of acoustic and electric guitars, “I Think About Heaven” is sunny and optimistic, with Owens singing “I think about heaven and I smile / Things don’t seem so bad.” He was born and raised into a devout Christian family and that has colored his songwriting from the beginning but is front and center here. It’s a very immediately likable song, all six minutes of it, and you can listen below.

What's Going on Thursday?

Jessica Pratt released one of our favorite albums of 2024 so far, Here In The Pitch, in May, and she’s nearing the end of the summer leg of her tour supporting it, which stopped in NYC last week for a pair of sold out shows at Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday and Thursday (7/24 and 7/25). We went on night two, which started with an opening set from @ (June McDoom opened night one). Explaining it in an Instagram story, they called it a “5 person setup with drums, bass, acoustic & electric guitar, cello, flute, melodica and a bunch of vocal harmonies. The set is about half mind palace music stuff, a track from the EP reimagined in a shreddy prog way, and 3-4 new unreleased songs that’ll be on the next album.” They told the Bowery Ballroom crowd that it was the biggest room they’d played yet, and emphasized that they really wanted it to sound good. It sounded fantastic, with sublime vocal harmonies mingling with gently ornamented folk.
