In her 2018 essay “Not With the Band,” Rachel Kushner describes an intimate PJ Harvey set that lasted until the early hours of morning. According to Kushner, PJ Harvey’s energy was inexhaustible. She was just that good, good enough that she wanted to play all night. She paused only to change guitars. At the Fillmore last week, Kim Deal did the same. She smiled with teeth and played through the entirety of her first solo album, Nobody Loves You More.

Berkeley City Council Districts 2, 3, 5 and 6 seats are up for election. Here’s a look into each race’s campaign financing. If a candidate raises or spends more than $1,000 on their campaign, they must submit disclosure reports that outline both donations received and expenditures. These reports are available to the public. A more recent addition to the city’s election legislation, Berkeley’s public financing program, provides campaign funds matching individual donations at a 6-to-1 rate.

Angel Olsen walks out in white tulle, glorious bouffant, and unselfconscious grin. She is merry and (titularly) angelic. The set begins and drool appears on my chin. The rest of the audience is similarly enraptured––there are periodic outbursts of “YOU ARE SO PRETTY” and some heartfelt confessions of love. This event, on October 20th, 2023 at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco’s lower Nob Hill, is a part of Olsen’s Big Time tour.
