Relevant to this, is the real potential TikTok ban in the United States: https://time.com/6971009/tiktok-banned-restrictions-worldwide-countries-united-states-law/

When we consider that Noah Kahan was made famous primarily through TikTok (owned by a Chinese company), the potential for a conspiracy theory arises. It is plausible to think that the Chinese would push certain types of music with their algorithm.

If Noah Kahan is out there with a negative message, and he appeals to the most impressionable demographic of Americans, perhaps the opportunity arose to tweak the algorithms to favor the rise of this artist. So that he would become mega-famous and spread this kind of hateful message upon the American youth.

Getting really deep into it, you consider the name Noah Kahan, and its coincidental homophone with the word “Khan,” or king in Mongol & Turkic tribal language.

Noah Kahan is a Chinese plant, confirmed.

Kahan is a Jewish name. Lolz. People of tik tok made him famous because he’s a got a wilderness-y folk-y vibe and a man bun. The people love a left leaning nature loving guy from Vermont. Stick season has a catchy basic melody that people with little unique interests can get into.

Honestly, all the hubbub about the parking and whatnot is shocking. Any large event will have gridlock and agonizing parking/exit situations. If you ever go to an event the size of Highwater, and you get to your car and out in a matter of minutes, let me know. That being said, some shuttle systems to nearby parking lots or drop off points to like Bonnaroo does would be wise.

My friend made me stay for Briston Maroney and they kinda sucked. Maybe it was just the fact that I had sensory overload from my socks and underwear being wet, and I was cold as fuck. Babe Club was immaculate. Jenna really put on an awesome show and had great outfits. She must’ve had an awesome stylist for the show.

I think it would be way cooler if they shifted to a more art and music festival approach. That way vendors, food trucks and artists from Charleston and nearby states could come through and make things more local, and way more cool. Instead we got Cabot cheese and Josh wine.

Highlight for me were The Linda Linda’s. Got damn! What a show!! I was completely shocked their drummer was 12 years old which they revealed about halfway through their set. Awesome. I wish the vibe of Highwater leaned more towards interesting acts like The Linda Linda’s.

There are some really funky awesome musical artists in the Charleston area and it’s appalling that they don’t include more. Also, having a couple smaller stages with more lowkey bands would be a much more immersive and special experience. They could also throw in a silent disco and a couple face painters/henna artists and people selling festival-y accessories and it would really amp things up.

Still had a pretty good time and would go again. Killer venue and great to go chill by the water when people start weirding me out.

Yasssssss!!!! I love Cosmo Pyke. He’s got a really soft, mellow, comforting funk going on. And what a voice!

Coke use is Charleston’s favorite way to play Russian roulette.

I keep two things of Naloxone (aka Narcan) in my kitchen drawer. I’ve lost a couple friends to fentanyl in the past 5 years and want to be prepared if need be. I’ve also regretfully done a good bit of cocaine. No one wants to talk about it…. because everyone (everyone) in Chas is doing it.

I think access to both fentanyl testing strips and Narcan would decrease fentanyl related deaths. Weird example, but you always smell weed before you buy it, or at least take a good look at it to check its quality. I see no reason for people (buyers or sellers) to not whip out a testing kit before selling or purchasing. Sellers should be motivated to prove their stuff is safe, and buyers should be adamant on only buying when product is tested in front of them. Testing strips would need to be able to be obtained anonymously. Maybe make them available in bathroom stalls at bars, venues and clubs for people to test before they use? Would encourage cocaine use? Yeah, maybe, but it would encourage safer cocaine use. Not at all the same, but it’s semi-similar to high school nurses’ offices providing free condoms…. it may encourage sex, but people are gonna be having sex regardless, so why not give people room to do it safely.

These ideas only really work in a perfect world and at the end of the day if you are an addict (or even just a one time user), you’ll take what you can get. I surely remember when I would purchase the driest, stemmiest, seediest of weed just so I could get a little buzz and sleep soundly that night.

 

Nonetheless… kill your local heroine/coke dealer, and for god’s sake, just get an Adderall scrip.

You know you made it when a company as big as Sweetwater is ripping you off…

Still the cheapest cover/ticket in chas….. (unless its free, of course)

App! App! App!!! Love it though. Weeds out the meanies and aggressive nerds on reddit.

I can’t tell you how much I despise this guy. He’s scummier than the scum under the derelict boats off Lockwood.

About 4 years ago, he stole my purse, passport and roommates purses from my house during a house party. About 6-8 months ago he dated a good friend of mine (I didn’t know it was the guy until she called it quits) and he made up a whole different personality and life for her. He comes from a wealthy family and is an avid surfer. Not shocked he got a small prison sentence for what I’d call attempted murder. May those two women he hit find solace in the physical and emotional trauma from this guy.

Yo, I know it’s like 5am but I’m listening to Ethiopiques right now. It’s kind of perfect vibes for this time of night/day/morning. Thank you for sharing and for the detailed info on it. Love it

<iframe style=”border-radius: 12px;” title=”Spotify Embed: Ethiopiques, Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz 1969-1974″ src=”https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/5VKvVk4gaPAJyXjof8NnzX?si=XEhls7BcTcu_DvLkarK12w&utm_source=oembed&#8221; width=”100%” height=”352″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen” data-mce-fragment=”1″></iframe>

Exactly. When my mind needs something easy, its a good pick. Try Hailu Mergia & Dahlak Band’s album, Wede Harer Guzo next. It’s the perfect album for these rising temps and sunny afternoons.

Hey thanks @toastedcarrot and @jerrygarcia! I checked out all those songs and I really like them a lot. Especially the last one “Space and Time”

It’s not even his song and he sings it so well!

During my digging I found another really good one called “Bottles and Bibles”

Glad I found this cool new place to chat with other Tyler Childers fans

Yippee!!! I’ll have to check this one out.

Good listen

I haven’t been able to get into his music. Same for me, I just skip. However, I do enjoy seeing artists live that I’m either not too fond of, or don’t really get/know yet. So I’ll be happy to give him a chance at High Water.

You slut! No, you shouldn’t feel bad. I think it starts getting questionable after 1k, but in this situation even 5 hundo a seat would still be worth it. Sounds like a pretty fkn awesome experience.
