Tiny Desk artist performing here tomorrow



She will be at my buddy, Beav's, Hot Water Inn, a hostel with a little pub and stage. Beav is a good guy, musician, and brings interesting artists into town. I might have to go, though it will be past my bed time.

So hipstery!

Hipsters aren’t really a thing anymore. And that shit ain’t hip. That’s 30-something white mom on a Target run music.

Actual hip kids are whatever is younger than millennials and they’re super into weed and hip hop and wearing metal band apparel.

Also half-kiddingly watching Friends and wearing the ‘90s like a Halloween costume.

Interesting, I've never heard of the show or any of the artists.

She's got an interesting thing going. I like instrumentation, her voice is a little harsh in comparison. Not my thing, but I can see how people would be into it. My only criticism would be the bassist looks goofy, just play a left handed bass already.

She grew up in Boulder and played with her band Paper Bird in Denver. She is a mountain hippy. Or what I call a mountain hippy. I am pretty sure she like yoga, bicycles, (probably mountain bikes), likes to hike and/or nordic ski, has slept in a yurt more than once, etc.

I frankly don't know, or care, what cool is. I don't expect it out of myself or others. I do like people to be cool to each other.

I’m talking about the audience—which is the thing that Johnny Motorheadbadge was on about. I’m sure Esme is a tru kvlt mountain weed princess from Yurtsylvania.

mountain hippy is another word for trust fund hipster or dot com boomer

I'm pretty sure people who work the grunt jobs in Boulder can't even afford to live there, probably gotta bus in from loveland or something
 
tinydesk isn't like an academy award.

in fact saying 'three time tinydesk nominee ___' is like an admission they have no real buzz to speak of. And probably 95% chance of being a snoozefest.
 
i just now listened to bits of the songs and I thing Peen was spot on....this is Mom radio for driving to Target after morning yoga class and a stop at starbucks for a fluff drink masquerading as a coffee drink.

Not if you dig deep enough. Come on out to the Hot Water Inn. You will find the remaining bastion of ski bum culture, with a heavy influence of young hippyish mountain art and music, with an Inn proprietor with no safety net, no savings, no backup plan, who reaches out to others with an old school love your neighbor heart, to the extent that he gets burned sometimes. The inn is in an older property at the back base of Baldy, that might be sold out from under him at some point, if the owner gets the right offer. But currently the owner likes that he makes rent money of Beav's use of the premises. So, there you will find Beav (who also runs a snowboard podcast with some other guy) and all his buddies who also get by on a subsistence living in order to live where they do, and have time and energy and desire to be outside. His group of friends from the young to the not quite as young were who I was standing with on the Bernie side of the gym a couple years ago. Boulder has that scene too. Getting harder and harder, and you have to dig to find it. But the underground is there too.

That's fine. But if it makes Beav a little money, and brings some people into his Inn to gather and be happy for a night, I am good with it.
