In Version 5 of this blog site, I talked about the Wednesday, April 8th, sets that I caught. Well, my Wednesday kept going. WFNM was hosting a number of musicians and I happened to catch two of them:
Madison Malone and
Holander.

Madison Malone played with her phone right up to her face. The music had that singer-songwriter charm to it. Toward the beginning of the set, there was a mid-song disruption. Her phone charger slipped and fell onto the floor and the phone followed. Yet, the Instagram feed didn't shut down. She just had to pick up the phone and charger, set things right, and re-start her song at the chorus.
Holander with her pink hair wasn't able to do her dance routine (which I saw her do when I caught her at the Bootleg Theater), but her acoustic set still highlighted the dance qualities of her music. She also conveyed her bubbly personality over the web.

Perhaps the best set I've seen online during this time of quarantine was Thursday's
Poppy Jean Crawford's set on Buzzbands. Okay, maybe tied with Strawberry Army's online set. Her set was in a nicely decorated room, which included colorful paper thin sheets that covered the walls and windows. They were thin enough to allow the late afternoon sun to provided light for the set. She played the set sitting on a rug. Though the set wasn't as psychedelic as her live sets, her set still carried the undertone of her live show.

What was also just fun was the interaction she carried on with the audience and her mom who was off to the side. She'd read the comments and then her mom would make comments. Then when she started to feel a little nervous, her mom encouraged her to smoke a cigarette. The comments section exploded when she lit up a cigarette with people asking her not to smoke.
