Driving around on the West Side Highway, the PIP, the LIE, the GSP, and Routes 4-to-17 while listening to the radio is one of my longest-running and favorite hobbies, but for all the hours Iâve spent behind the wheel, I am pretty music agnostic. That said, of all the Tri-State area radio stations, none could be as bizarre or outlandish as 91.1. Itâs a complete grab bag of musical genres: some hits, some deep cuts, and a track I heard once that could only be described as a beep opera. Riveting, keeps me on the edge of my seat, very good for staying alert at the wheel.

Long-running fm station out of jersey city. I like wake and bake with clay pigeon, pseu's thing with a hook, and evan funk davies. Totally freeform, so lots of variety between shows! DJs just play what they want, not off a chart, like many alt/college stations obligated by contract to play new cage the elephant songs

WCNI New London, Connecticut College - community & student DJs (I had a show there while I was in college!). Usually something weird/good happening. They used to always have a polka show on Sundays I think.
WRPI Troy - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the capital region, NY. Whenever I drive through I pick up this station and it never disappoints. They have some weeeiiirdd shit.
WFMU out of NJ. Fantastic programming, great music, eccentric hosts.

My perfect relationship with my phone is one where I can send signals but canât receive them. I call this âgoing ghost mode:â I can communicate with you via obscure gestures, but you will struggle to summon me. Itâs a great way to spend the weekendâphone in do not disturb, at the park talking to my dog, occasionally scrolling Instagram and The RealReal, sending a link or two to a friend but not overdoing it on screen time. Itâs 85% touch grass with 15% brain rot. I understand this is somewhat antisocial, but it works for me. Iâll get back to you on Monday (probably).Â

I think about this album all the time and listen to it even more. Letâs start with the album artâfawn-eyed shirtless Prince with a feathered late â70s blow out? Swoon. Every song on this album is perfect, soulful, electrifying. If âI Wanna Be Your Loverâ doesnât send a tidal shockwave through your bones, you need to find God. Heâs purple.

I love Rachel Howeâs tarot deck and handbook and seek her out whenever sheâs in New Yorkâwhich is rare. In the times I canât find her IRL, I visit a URL version of her deck for a daily pull. A nice way to center yourself each morning.Â
