Is anyone else still feeling scattered after the long weekend? I spent all day yesterday streaming the Grammys in a state of panic.
How did U2 get from Madison Square Garden to The Statue of Liberty and back so quickly? Is James Corden meant to be funny?
Then Tyler’s outfit sent me right over the edge . . .
Anyway, Barocca and a siesta. Laneway’s on this weekend.

Things kickoff at 11am on Sunday. (Yeah. Plan your sickies now.)
04/02: Laneway After Party
Laneway kick-ons will be getting started at 8.30 at the Oxford Art Factory, featuring BADBADNOTGOOD, Kllo, and Roy Molloy on horn (Alex Cameron), amongst other local labels and friends.
Seriously, line up your list of Monday morning excuses now.
Feeling the mid-week grind?
Let A$AP Rocky’s new track sort you.
