Great stuff, lots of cools vintage clothing from around the globe, plus some nice and/or strange furniture and trinkets. The owner is really talkative and friendly, he'll sometimes host a kind of micro-block party outside.

Leisure Centre is a vintage shop on Hester Street in the Lower East Side. Frank, the owner, is a really cool, interesting dude - and his shop reflects that. It’s impossible to walk in there and not find something you like. It’s well-curated and well-priced; everything is a steal. I do damage every time I visit… my wardrobe is slowly turning into only pieces I’ve found here.

My style is at an all time high due to the fact I am currently single and have a lot of time to focus on me, myself, and I. I also live down the street from the location on classon which is run by these brilliant Puerto Rican women who wash everything in the store and take no shit. They never give me anything off and they’re so passive aggressive if you’re in the store pass closing. I love it. I have a whole process when sourcing vintage. Everything I wear has come from this store! The prices are super cute

Blindsided by this, really sad. The list of Albini's productions is jaw-dropping. Magnolia Electric Company is one of the great pieces of post-industrial Americana, bleak and beautiful. Farewell Transmission is Jason Molina's most powerful recording, but the album (incl. outtakes) is stacked. Heavy & gorgeous, suitable for the moment.

Tearing up right now instead of working. I moved to the city as the last of Williamsburg's artistic energy was spent, and I moved to the edge of the neighborhood after it was already hollowed out. God bless the few places that are still interesting: Spectacle, Union Pool, Ore Bar, Blue Sun, Miriam Gallery, The P.I.T., Baby's, etc.
Are there places in NYC with a real artistic scene now, or did our new way of living end that possibility? Please don't say Hudson, there's no way I can learn to make furniture.

More of a look back on the making of the album, no footage from the actual recording, iirc. But great banter, good insights into the process.
The Wilco doc about making Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is good and dramatic, too—I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
