Seeing hardcore punk-noise veterans Lightning Bolt play at New Parish in Oakland for my first show since the start of the pandemic.

Welcome to What's The Matter With Me? Podcast Season Six, Episode 13, "Lightning Bolt"

Blue Hills by Michael Hurley was on as I put this together, it's a new repress from Mississippi Records. he warbles a lot and the recording has many homespun touches.. you could see it as a bum trip, but I encourage thinking about with nostalgia. It's very warm that way.
