I listened to Is This It by The Strokes. šµ
For murky reasons I don’t understand, “Last Nite” has been in my head for days and nights now. The other morning, with the song in my head yet again, before walking out the door I scanned my shelves and pulled this actual decades-old-CD in its jewel case and took it to my car and slid it into my car’s actual CD player, and I’ve been listening to it on loop whenever I am driving ever since.

I listened to Rose Main Reading Room by Peel Dream Magazine. šµ
This wasn’t quite what I was hoping for after the first track I heard, but it is nice.

I listened to Ghosts by Hania Rani. šµ
Very nice. One from last year I never spent much time with, but a track came up on shuffle and I immediately wanted to hear the whole album.

I listened to EKKSTACY by EKKSTACY. šµ
At first, it made me miss Craft Spells. (Whatever happened to Craft Spells btw?) Then I wanted to be listening to BLACKSTARKIDS, or the new Toro album, or Iām not sure what else.
But by the halfway point I had finally accepted this for what it was and not what I expected or wanted it to be, and I realized it was pretty nice.

I listened to Hole Erth by Toro y Moi. šµ
Toro y Moi’s music is just endlessly listenable to me, almost no matter what does, though it often takes me a minute to come around to whatever his latest flavor is. This album is no exception.

Reading Log: All Fours

I read All Fours by Miranda July. š
All fours is a hell of a book. Hilarious, ridiculous, not infrequently gross and also not infrequently profound. Feels like it was probably a lot fun and freedom to write this way, but with a huge amount of thought and work under the surface.

I read The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown again. š
Forgot what a smart follow up this is; it builds so well on the first book while exploring so many more ideas.
