Such a beautiful languid song and Chrystabell’s voice is lovely. It has that slow drive in the evening through a crumbling Americana that Lynch seems to embody as well, but in a way that’s warm and embracing. Like a slow dance at the nuclear test range in Nevada, holding your beloved tight as the warning bells blare and the earth erupts around you.

The quiet week between Christmas and New Years. I’ve never felt it as heavily as I did this year. Normally at this time I travel and it goes by in an instant. But, in NYC the streets got eerily quiet in places they're normally bustling, and (I know, I’m hardly a local here) but the waves of tourists made me feel weirdly displaced??
It was like a blanket fell over the city. in a place that normally demands speed and urgency it was suddenly okay to walk slowly. the warmer weather and the rain made me feel like I was inside a snow globe- safe from the outside world and contained. That’s how this song feels.
and then on New Years BOOM people were dancing and celebrating the passage of time. fireworks and paper trumpets broke the quiet spell and the bout of wind on January 1st burst into our atmosphere. it made things feel real again.
Anyway here we are back in reality, but for a moment on the M train I’m back in the snow globe- so thanks Chilly Gonzalez.
Adding a picture I took in this picture as I was walking from the discotheque to Katz’s with Hannah.

Lovely release: gentle guitars, the sound of a typewriter and a train, lyrics that just pass you by and then stick with you.

I was on the train today and this song came on. It paralysed me at first because it was this stunning paralysingly beautiful opening but then suddenly it bounced into this exciting silly journey!
The song is Cybele’s Reverie by Stereolab
It kinda gave me “this is life” vibes. Life can be paralysing, life can be silly, then at the end of the song it is this AWESOME JAM. Because life Can be awesome.
I had listened to an album of Stereolab before but WOW are they sooooooo cool. They just get it, they get the whimsey, they get the beauty.

Take a few minutes when you get up to jot your dreams down when you wake up. It’s a good way to transition to being awake and sometimes dreams are worth reflecting on, even if they’re just funny or nonsensical or beautiful.

I drink coffee before, during, and after coffee. If you want to cut down to just one you should go with after, maybe as late as with lunch for an afternoon buzz.

It’s a really simple meal but feels so nourishing and filling. Add a pickle on the side for some acidity if you want.
