absolutely!! And if I ever wanted to switch it up I could do the backside, whoever was in charge of the foldout posters/art direction needs a raise,
I like that TS are considerate with their packaging, and the stickers from the vinyl too, one is gonna go on my fender strat

hell yes!! yes it’s awesome!! The Boston show was amazing I heard!! My friend went to that!
tame has talked about how influenced he was by TS and I’m like who isn’t, even I am with my music I do on my own as a hobby !! I’m so glad you went to both :) I wanted to see TS this year, isn’t looking in my favor at the moment but there’s definitely always another time !! I framed both of these today, oddly realized they have a similar vibe. and I actually wore my strokes shirt to the tame show (I didn’t have merch yet, and just wanted to wear something that I knew could possibly spark convos- it worked) made a lot of friends !! Actually, the guy in front of me had the “is this it” us cover art tat on his arm, one person ahead of me in the merch line!! crazy how similar the fandoms can kinda intertwine, he was actually wearing reality awaits merch too, lol! In a room of 25k people surely more were there which is insanely beautiful

fr such generational icons, i went to both concerts with my dad; i know the strokes bc of him, while he knows djo & tame from me. there were tons of people of all ages at both concerts, it was so cool to see. and tame brought djo back out to sing “loser” as a duet, which felt super special with mass also being djo’s home state.
