Paddy's Gig Log
Every show I could find a ticket for, from Anathallo at the Borderline in 2008 to whatever's on next week in Brooklyn. Festivals and club nights are logged as events but kept out of the band stats, since nobody remembers exactly who they saw at Gov Ball.
Tap any name for that artist's page: every time I've seen them, photos from Instagram, and where they turn up in my albums of the year.

Ezra Furman
In Albums of the Year
5 entries2015No. 1Perpetual Motion People“I only heard of Ezra Furman this year as a tip off from my lovely gig pigs back in London. As usual they were spot on. But I think I've now passed them in my love for Ezra. …”2018No. 2Transangelic Exodus“One of my favorite artists and a great act to see live. His latest is all about running away from it all, a cross country road trip. …”2019No. 5Twelve Nudes“Ezra is so prolific right now he’s appeared in 3 of my last 5 end of year lists. This is his punk album. But it’s not really punk in the traditional sense, just angrier Ezra Furman. …”2022No. 20All of Us Flames2025No. 14Goodbye Small Head“Ezra Furman continues to make music that sounds like it has to exist, whether it’s comfortable or not.”

Truly awful week if you're trans and Jewish like Ezra Furman, but he was amazing tonight, raw, emotional and cathartic.
