What do you have when you strip everything away? Every distraction, social event, and activity of your regularly scheduled programming either eliminated or transformed altogether. I think that’s what we’re all being challenged to do right now – to realize what we have, what we don’t, and what we want. Some of us are baking …
One of the best parts of the apocalypse thus far has been diving head-first back into books. This part of me has gone surprisingly dormant in recent years, despite having once been a massive reader (and re-reader). But, with so much time inside, and the newfound stasis my body seems to be forming some small …
I’ve been delving deep into the remix jams since working from home. So, I thought I’d share my Spotify starter kit amassing a few of my favourites from recent years. Enjoy these jams while you WFH (Wash your Freaking Hands/Work from Home), hold a daily bedroom dance-party, or chop ALL THE VEGETABLES for your 42nd …
If you’ve been trolling streaming services during the pandemonium, here are a few suggestions of little indie movies that you may have missed: 1. Garden State (2004) Garden State slipped into my headspace right when I needed it most. The chill, melancholy pace, lack of direction and aimlessness experienced by the main character (Zach Braff), …
Man, what a difference a few weeks can make. I myself have oscillated between feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, normalcy, and hope. I think we have all spent considerable time thinking about the “long-term” nature of this. I’ve found myself jumping ahead to what months of social distancing looks like, and what the world – and …
This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining, the natural world was crushing it 10/10…and then I remembered humanity was collectively caught in a COVID-19 blender. An invisible enemy is knocking at the gates as we try to furiously plug any hole or weakness, knowing full well that its tiny, microscopic horse is …
I worked from home for the first two years of my career (if you can call it such a thing when you’re 21), and while that seemed like a dream to me initially (and every ? single ? one ? of my friends), it certainly came with some struggles as time went on. Here’s what …
Pump up the jams with these fresh music finds from the past few days. Womxn – Låpsley When I first heard this, I thought it was Ria Mae, but it’s not. Tune in for some chill synth vibes by this up-and-coming English artist. Harvest Moon – Poolside I dig the summery beach vibe spin that …
Here’s a round-up of some cool stuff I enjoyed this week in music, scenery, and space! SCENE STEALERS The stunning images from the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition are well worth a scroll through. I especially love the photo below of Space X exhaust plume above Sierra Nevada (taken by Brandon Yoshizawa.) Do yourself …
Rostam Batmanglij has been quietly making a name for himself as a killer producer and vocal contributor. Plus, he’s already performed on SNL seven times. While I dig a lot of his own music, he’s also worked on some of my favourite songs over the past few years, including collaborations with Maggie Rogers, HAIM, Francis …
