Reality hits hard after a good festival weekend. Be gentle with yourself as your brain rebalances serotonin. Personally, I’m relying on Liquid IV and caffeine to make it through this week.

Would still love for y’all to reply to this email with more recommendations for must-see acts at Weekend 2!

In the meantime, our top giveaway of the day…

Known for their folk, twee, chamber pop, and Stuart Murdoch's introspective vocals, Scottish indie-pop group Belle & Sebastian are bringing Tigermilk and their greatest hits to the Hollywood Palladium on Friday, 6/5. Free tix up for grabs. Click 'em while they're hot!
