Another recent find. Marylandās finest. Tommy was an exceptional pop writer from around my neck of the woods of Greater Washington DC/MD. A king of sincere queer coded lyrics a bit before it was okay to be or bait (think pre-Nirvana dress, but u mean it etc). His debut āPlaces That Are Goneā and āNothing Can Change Youā are also perfect. He did a lot of āmulti instrumentā playing for ppl like Paul Westerberg in the mid 90s, which is something I often do for bands I play with. He has been a big inspiration for me and my next round of albums.

I donāt have an obsession, I have a collection. Itās gotten out of hand though. Didnāt make an In/Out list for 2023, but Berets are in for me. Whose got 2 thumbs and 4 berets? This Guy. A raspberry beret and a black one. An Aerosmith beret and one from The1975 merch booth. My finsta is actually Merchcunningham (highly vetted) so uak this is a real lifestyle investment. See you on the other side ! š

Last music recc i promise š. The Dark Knight of Indie Sleaze. Cody has been my fav since I was little kid. This album does not get enough shine for bringing us into the Frank Ocean world weāre currently in. Definitely a spiritual blueprint for me with the whole genre-blending. Reconnecting with his catalog really helped me pick up the guitar again too.

My favorite album at the moment and maybe the band of my dreams. āDonāt Look Backā is a perfect song. I wonāt admit how many times Iāve run this record down recently. Iāve been holding resentment towards my friends who never told me about it before. You know who you are!!!

a beautiful inlet coffee & wine shop in the heart of Fort Greene. Run by some amazing, industrious friends of mine (Darryl Nuhn & Brad Ogbonna) featuring food from my guy, my genius, Nate Cox. Ferris Bueller Voice: āThe menu is always changing but the vibe is so consistently choice. I highly recommend!ā

Another Brooklyn best! A night ping-ponging between Prima & Rhodora aināt half bad. Closest thing to Cheers iāve ever experienced: a special place with friends who always know your name. Incredible wine selection too! Some of favorite chefs (Tecla Esposito, Kia Damron, Angela Dimayuga etc) have all done pop-ups there. Perf place 2 be!

my rock, my day one. By far my favorite Vietnamese in the city. Itās right next to Lucien, so if you donāt have Lucien $$$, itās the best option for the people. Michelin Star Bahn Miās and those arenāt even the star of the menu! Please treat this place as you would any prized possession. āļø

Honorable mention. If youāve hung out with me the past year or so, heās my favorite topic. A fellow virgo, my acting inspiration and exercise guru lol In all sincerity, I find his work groundbreaking at times. The quintessential post-Pacino, James Dean renaissance leading man/character actor of his time. Do yaself a favor, Go watch Pope of Greenwich Village (1985) , Barfly (1987) and soak it in. I think they are both free on Y*utube š
