One Trick Pony

Sure, your album sounds amazing. But if you want to make it past the morning after, you better know how to (ahem) perform.

I bet you’ve come across a trickster band or two. Much like the initial infatuation you feel for a crush, you discover a new band and fall deeply in love with their LP. You start playing the album on repeat—so much so, you’ve had to hide your Facebook Spotify integration because you can’t. stop. listening.

You plan an entire evening around the concert, gather your friends and assure them this show will change their lives. Then the show comes­—and it sucks. Hard. You question how you could let this happen. Like a bad sexual encounter, you just want it to be over. —ms
