Mitski is on tour across North America right now in support of her excellent new album Laurel Hell and the temptation for those without tickets (or even those with) is to hit YouTube and hear how new songs like "Stay Soft" and "Love Me More" and sounding live.
It's become a habit aided by the fact that recording parts of, or even the whole show, has become a staple of live music alongside waiting in line for a drink and picking up merch.
However, in a lengthy tweet thread posted on Thursday, Mitski has asked her supporters to try put their phones away and embrace living in the moment for an hour or two. “I wanted to speak with you about phones at shows,” she wrote. “They’re part of our reality, I have mine on me all the time, and I’m not against taking photos at shows (though please no flash lol).
