One last thing: Gut Magazine! As I was finishing this up I saw that they are starting a new issue. I found out about Gut through following Joshua Gordon’s work *(great artist all around) and had my mind blown. I have worked as an independent publisher in some capacity all of my adult life and I don’t think anything in that world has excited me as much as what Ami does with her practice has in a very long time. Do yourself a favor and stay informed when that next issue comes out. And if you have any of the early issues, hit me up I need em!

Two of my all time favorite creative thinkers and people, Sean Murray and Nick Massarelli, run a publication called First Last and it’s been a year since their last release. However, I recently found out that they’re looking to release their next issue in April and it’s been one of my favorite pieces of news in months! I’ve bought every single issue and I will continue to do so!

I spent years destroying my body and so now I try to work double time taking care of it. Self care is key. I go through these phases where I read dozens of “Best of” lists for skin products and toiletries. There is some link there between the complete self-debasement of my past and wanting to experience the bliss of fancy salves, lotions, creams, and oils but this is my first time ever analyzing it. What I do know is that out of all the skin care products I’ve tried nothing compares to Everyday Oil. As they say, “everyday, all over”. I particularly like using it in my hair. It smells great and its from Black Mountain, NC…shouts out Ray Johnson.

I don’t know how to stop receiving the actual Uline Catalog. For some reason, I get multiple copies and a little part of me dies every time I throw them in the recycling bin…you can recycle them, right? Anyways, Calvin LeCompte’s Uline Catalog is one of my favorite things on the internet. A monthly show on NTS that consistently brings all the pop, folk, werido, cosmic hits you’ve never heard. Each month, LeCompte provides me with a new favorite song. I do not understand how he finds so many ultra rare yet absolutely perfect songs. Go check out his archive on NTS.

I love books and can be quite obsessive when it comes to collecting them. Jesse Pearson who I believe did a lot of cool stuff with Vice or at least I think that is how I became familiar with his work started putting out Apology Magazine some years ago. A magazine that combines all the things I love with contributions from a lot of artists I greatly admire, how could it get any better? Well, the podcast extension of the Apology empire is hands down my favorite podcast, sorry Acid Horizon. In each episode, Pearson, who is a fellow book freak, talks with a friend of his about the books they love and the books they are reading. 1-2 hours of book talk with brilliant people like Eileen Myles, Hamilton Morris, and Will Oldham, then Jesse puts up show notes that gives you plenty to fill you Abebooks cart with.
