Have a Wilco summer, and trip through retail detritus with a terrific hip-hop trio.

Never getting rid of PJ Harvey, and traveling west with Joy Sullivan’s poems.

Touring the memory with Pedro the Lion and “Looking Up” with Courtney Ellis

Getting emotional with Deer Tick and breathing in David Berman’s “Actual Air”

Living through the “Dark Times” with Vince Staples and matching a poet “Bite for Bite.”

Growing alongside Guster, and hearing yourself in the Rapsody.

Traversing the Southwest with Calexico and approaching the cool with Yaya Bey.

Getting weird (in a lovely way) with Iron and Wine, and watching Hanif Abdurraqib swish another long 3.

Laying back with Kurt Vile and beginning at the end with Lydia Millet.
