This beautifully harrowing album from experimental ambient trio from Gothenburg has easily made it onto one of my favorite albums list of the past couple years. First time I listened to the track “Stanna Hos Mig” I felt like I was listening back at a fuzzy and distorted memory. The delay on the strings and the vocals are ghostly and sublime; creating a sort of distance from the listener. This album shapeshifts and folds into whatever domineering headspace you’re in at the time. I would love to sample their work sometime. This is the kind of music I wish I was making.

At the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library you can watch almost any theatrical production performed in New York City since 1970. Due to union laws, you can only watch a production once and must stay in the library’s viewing cubicles. Recently, I watched John C. Riley and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Sam Shepard’s True West. If you love theater, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon watching an old production. I love theater and want new plays. I am imagining a burgeoning playwright creeping into the library to watch Meryl Streep in “Mouther Courage and Her Children” and going on to write their own Mother Courage (and casting me).

What I love about nyc is the infinite amount of screenings there are for all types of movies — I think of it as an event more than anything! Feels way more fulfilling than just catching a film that just came out at an amc or whatever. The theaters r so much more intimate! And then you’ll watch happy together 1997 and the colors will be so beautiful n bright and you’ll cry and feel the same way someone did after seeing it 20+ years ago!

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

I’ve recently been watching Rule of Rose (remake) on youtube. It’s a masterfully twisted game and beautifully done. Something about watching gameplays has always soothed me. I would always fall asleep to Silent Hill 2 gameplays during the pandemic. You just have to turn down the boss fights when you’re finally trying to sleep; it can get a little abrasive. Stay away from gameplays with commentary please. You don’t need a random white guy's opinion on the creature design right now- just too goddamn annoying

This was my life in middle school. I would spend hours on the computer after school building sets, creating characters and writing scripts. It doesn’t hold up as well because I don’t want to torment my computer with all the custom content downloads… and now I’m jaded from making movies with real people (lol) I made a zombie series called Propagation on Sims. I made an epic short about teenage pregnancy to a Sigur Ros song. I made one about a teacher student affair to the song Nude by Radiohead. I was full of so much confusion and emotions… making movies on Sims 2 was my release. Check out Lodelday on youtube. She was my inspiration. Her movies informed my taste in a way. Long live Sims 2. Forever love. Here is Frances Nowak; a character I made for a failed short about a widowed woman finding her life again to the Umbrellas of Cherbourg theme song. The dramaaaa.
