Every great once in a while, on Sundays, my boyfriend and I decide to treat ourselves to a small bottle of sake, shared in slow-sipping fashion throughout the day. It is so cute and ceremonial and, counterintuitively, restorative af. Thereâs something peaceful about the practice of filling tiny ceramic cups with a nice junmai daiginjo and pairing your sips with a good read. I love to take a heavy wood cutting board into bed and repurpose it as a miniature pouring table.

not necessarily alcohol! just passing a big glass bottle back n forth is very satisfying. i personally love a good sparkling grapefruit juice.

Even if your off at noon. Not an everyday thing, but a good treat once and a while!

Itâs no secret that the triangular parcel of land known as The Lot Radio is Brooklynâs best warm-weather hang and a key hub of New York dance culture. Opened in 2013 and run by Francois Vaxelaire and Pauline La Mell, the site features a DJ booth/shipping container known to host thee most legendary producers in dance music. On any given day, you can relax in the sunshine with friends and a bottle or coffee while listening to artists, critics, record shop owners, or producers mix live on airâ or, if youâre lucky, stumble onto a set from Octo Octa, Nick LeĂłn, or Honey Dijon.

I adore music zines. Always loved them. I donât mean full-on glossy magazines, though I love those, too. I mean the handmade, typewritten, toner-smeared kind made out of printer paper and staples and a burning desire to participate in a tradition of creative writing, interviewing, art-making, and whatever other form of creativity one feels like stuffing into its pages. At the moment, Iâm obsessed with a few: Hallogallo, which is run out of Chicago by Kai Slater (of the bands Lifeguard and Sharp Pins) which just published its 10th issue featuring an interview with Stereolabâs Laetitia Sadier; Love Injection, a long-running club culture zine by NYCâs Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele; and Shadow Wolf, the handiwork of Holland-based electronic artist Legowelt.

If youâve got an old iPod, CDs, CD-Rs, or other dead-format music libraries stuffed in a closet or storage somewhere, I have to recommend doing whatever is necessary to give them a new lease on life. Seriously: Order that old Dock Connector cable, buy that used Discman, or lumber around in the attic or basement for those buried boxes. I promise itâs worth every bit of the cost and struggle.I recently took a stack of old hard drives to data recovery, hoping to restore decades of lost photos and writings, but instead spent more time combing the MP3 collection I thought Iâd lost in a 2015 crash. All the forgotten albums, remixes, bootlegs, DJ edits, and Soundcloud rips were like accessing an alternate mode of music discovery from an earlier version of myself: Oneohtrix Point Neverâs Eccojams and early Games cassettes, DJ Sprinklesâ Midtown 120 Blues, Blawanâs âWhy They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage,â Death Gripsâ Exmilitary, and innumerable reggae singles, bloghouse remixes, and techno twelves are back from the grave (and loving it!), co-existing alongside years of Bandcamp purchases.
