My friends Sam and Amber design and run these clothing brands in LA and it's usually what I'm wearing. Huge cuts with big pockets and everything is comfortable. They also have a store called Cloud College on the east side that sells in house brands as well as local weirdo designers. It's something

The day I got to LA after driving across the country, these guys welcomed me with open arms. Unsound Rags is a vintage clothing shop with a showroom in Los Angeles. You may recognize the boys at Unsound (informally known as the "Shadow Crew") walking around the Arts District dressed in all shades of black (besides Rashaun). You might even catch them walking out of concrete walls or stealing mimosas off tables at ZINC. No but for real, this is the only place I’ve shopped at on the west coast. I just recently bought a pair of tan Wranglers from them and it's the best pair denim I own. I haven't worn my Levis since... Thanks guys.

Obsessed with this Chinese sci-fi novel right now. It's putting to words a lot of the unavoidable existential dread that we're all trying to ignore. I'm not usually a big fan of super hard sci-fi because I'm for the most part scientifically illiterate, but this book does such a good job of making physics poetic and kind of horrifying.

This book destroyed me. It's a reinterpretation of the myth of Circe, one of the OG witches in Greek mythology who was exiled to an island for eternity. She's a minor character in the Odyssey, but is given the lead role in this. Unbelievably poignant writing about life and death. Sobbed at the ending - it's a beautiful book.

Shout out to my friend Kirby who is undoubtedly one of the most talented musicians I know. Creatively, he's had an amazing pandemic that started off with this really sparse and luxurious instrumental record. It's like ambient solo piano with expert synth and flute arrangements. The songs are so meditative and neutrally emotional in that magical way good ambient music is. 10/10 from me.
