My buddy Zack just put me on this album because ur boi loves him some 1990s ambient/dream pop type beats and this certainly scratched the itch. Fave tracks: Skin Divers, Distractions, Darling Effect. I love the artwork as well - it is by The Senate who did a lot of artwork for Everything But The Girl (who is always in heavy rotation at Intramural HQ) in the early 90s.

sublime & underrated 90s album with almost club-like addicting beats, airy vocals & hip hop elements. Seems like everyone’s experience with this artist is “wow i heard this song on my local radio station in 1990-something and i still can’t get it off my mind”.
Current fav song: “Fall”

flawless cult fav mysterious record
new wave-y & groovy
not a lot of info exists on the band, but that’s part of the charm
there’s a reissue ep available on streaming, but the full record is well worth the listen. you can only hear it in full on youtube or downloading from a random blog
if you spend anytime on nts or other internet radio station, there’s a good chance you’ve heard a song from the record…

Fantastic 90s trip-hop on the Mo' Wax label from the UK.
No lyrics, vox, etc. -- just straight beats.
Great to work to.
Also great to not work to.

Last summer, I caught some major tennis fever after listening to the How Long Gone interview with Caitlin Thompson, publisher of Racquet Magazine. My girlfriend Zoe and I always gift each other books during the holidays and she really *aced* her gift last year with Open. It’s a wild read that is written with the vulnerability that only a tennis prodigy with an extremely demanding father from Iran (no shots at Dadvali) could possess.

Frankies 457 Spuntino is my absolute favorite restaurant in New York. Over the last 5 years, this has been where Bae-Z and I have gone to celebrate almost every birthday and significant life/career event. The vibes are cozy af, the food is comforting af and most importantly it is consistent af. This cookbook delivers too - it has all the greatest hits from the restaurant and the recipes are easy and straightforward enough that anyone can do them. If my kitchen is on fire, this is the cookbook I am grabbing. My favorite dishes are the Fennel, Celery Root, Parsley & Red Onion Salad, Cavatelli with Sausage & Browned Sage Butter and the Pork Braciola Marinara.

Dia commissioned Detroit techno legend Carl Craig to put together a sound installation in the basement at Dia:Beacon. As you walk down the stairs to the basement, all you hear and feel is the thumping bass coming from the installation and you are instantly filled with that feeling of anticipation/excitement of entering a party that you’ve been looking forward to all week. When you open the door to see where the music is coming from you enter a massive, empty basement that is illuminated sparsely with just a few vertically oriented neon lights. The installation hits a bit differently from when it first opened and now as a result of covid and it is hard to describe the feeling when you are inside. The best I can do is say that the experience is equal parts zen and melancholy in the most beautiful way possible.
