I started getting sick of listening to studio perfected music, and have been listening to a tonne of live performances instead. My favourite venue recently (besides KEXP) is the NPR Tiny Desk Concerts.

You can see how much the venue changed: Here is Alt-J in 2017!

That performance above never stops blowing my mind. How tight they are, the quality of sound, and the mistakes! Yes, give me those real and honest mistakes! It's what I crave in music these days. Realness.
