Okay so these are the spots I keep coming back to after a long shift, cuando necesito algo loud enough to drown out my own brain or soft enough to just sit with a flat white and listen, you know. Some are dive bars with sticky floors, some are church-quiet folk rooms, doesn't matter, I just need the music to be real and the people watching to be good. Anyway, these are mine, add your own if you've got better, mija.

2Midway CafeMidway Cafe3496 Washington StJamaica Plain, MADivey, queer-friendly, punk to karaokeThis is basically my living room, walkable from my apartment, I've cried and danced here in the same week, you know how it is
3Lizard LoungeLizard Lounge1667 Massachusetts AveCambridge, MANo stage, band on a rug, rock and AmericanaLove that there's no barrier between you and the band, feels honest, like nobody's performing perfection here
4Paradise Rock ClubParadise Rock Club967 Commonwealth AveBoston, MAMid-size rock club, balcony views, BU crowdA little louder than I usually want after a twelve hour shift pero worth it for the right band, anyway
