Question number one, did you have fun?

It’s David Bowie’s birthday and of Montreal is an ideal band to be doing a live Bowie cover.

One of the fun parts of making this is putting clips back-to-back that work magically together. From the new PUP/Jeff Rosenstock Double Band project (not actually a thing) an exclusive look at the single Nausea Stuff. “Switching between porn and Robocop makes me feel like I’m about to throw up.”

Indie/Alternative/Emo/Punk/ADHD Heaven, TBH.

How many artists and bands can you name challenge. (Spoiler alert: there's a lot.)

130 Concerts in 26 Minutes: Clips From Every Show I Saw in 2025 youtu.be/4SqOj2TyyLY

Tomorrow.

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow We're gonna lay you fascists down Dropkick Murphys @dropkickmurphys.com | Dig a Hole | House of Blues Boston, MA | March 17, 2025 youtu.be/gQimGO2TJ3Y

I went to 130 concerts in 2025. I made a playlist with (most of) the full sets of the headliners and (many of) the openers from my favorite shows, including a bunch from shows that just missed making my final list that's in the graphic below. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This song is like two songs in one. The (slow) first half kinda makes you want to cry and the (ripper) second half kinda makes you want to fuck shit up.

"This song is about wishing the world was better 'cause it fucking sucks. But we can make it better collectively by not being a little shithead" Gladie officially dropped this one today. @gladiephilly.bsky.social | Future Spring | The Sinclair Cambridge, MA | December 15, 2025 youtu.be/TR7pBPygbWY

Fun fact: I was in the room for this all-time moment. There’s ~300 band playlists on my YouTube channel, which is approximately how many times Allen Iverson said the word practice in this press conference. youtube.com/@concertshub/playlists

Twice as nice. youtube.com/@concertshub

Here’s this Rilo Kiley thumbnail image come to life. Just look at the expressions on Jenny and and Blake’s faces during the Portions for Foxes extended outro.

Bump.

Did you start on time or nah?

I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me. The Mountain Goats | This Year | Rooftop at Pier 17 New York, NY | August 4, 2025 youtu.be/qW3d_nito0Q

Happy New Year, fuckers. 🖕 Go to the IG post to see a bunch of artists giving you the finger, set to PUP’s Hunger for Death, which starts out with the line “fuck everyone on this planet, except for you.” www.instagram.com/p/DS-qIWJic5...

I had hoped to have my 2025 recap video ready by the 31st or 1st, but while working on it I spent too much time getting caught up in fully rewatching too many videos and clips while reliving it all (with lots of goosebumps). Hopefully in the next day or two. Here's a teaser thumbnail, though.

If you start watching every video on my YouTube channel at exactly 11:03:34 PM on New Year's Eve, you'll finish at exactly... like, sometime in 2028 or something. youtube.com/@concertshub

I went to a lot of concerts in 2025. Some were on another level. ⬇️

If Steve dies in the Stranger Things finale you can always drown your sorrows and/or raise your spirits with this Djo/Joe Keery playlist in perpetuity. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Come Downstairs and Say Hello by Guster is an epic live song. It literally makes me cry. When they occasionally play it with an orchestra? Holy shit, even more epic. Here it is at Red Rocks w/ the Colorado Symphony when mass gatherings were just coming back post-COVID. youtu.be/IEQHobqXn_U

I can’t believe it’s only Tuesday

Just look at that smile on Joe Keery’s face as he gets to sing the line to his sister in the audience.

Live music. I’ve got a playlist… or 300… for that. I make a playlist for every band I have videos of, plus a handful of specialty ones like Full Sets, Full Live Album Plays, Full Opening Band Sets, and Unreleased Songs I saw played live. youtube.com/@concertshub/playlists

Nice.

1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣

I went through all the trouble of making this graphic, the least you could do is squint your way around it.

ASSHOLE

Sometimes (often?) what makes a show a core memory vs. great vs. good vs. meh has little to do with the band’s performance(s) but rather the crowd and its energy (do they already know and are into the openers, etc.) and the venue (some venues are always terrible regardless of the bands and artists).

130 concerts? “How the hell are you still standing? Go to fucking bed.”

Can you help me get at least 118 new YouTube subscribers over the next three days to end 2025 breaking 7,000? youtube.com/@concertshub

I went to 130 concerts in 2025. These were my favorites. Presented kinda sorta in order but not really in order. Watch lots of videos of all of these bands and shows: youtube.com/@concertshub/playlists

Have you tried to read through the blurs and figure some out or nah?

Coming Sunday (probably): my favorite concerts of 2025 out of the 125+ that I went to. If you follow me already, the one I've left visible here is no surprise.

Would you give your bandmate wife the middle finger on stage in front of 3,500 Bostonians with Jack White looking on or are you just a coward? @weakenedfriends.bsky.social
