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. There’s 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.

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

I‘m getting one for my boyfriend for christmas, it’s blue with a long neck and a big round base. I think it’s going to be very sexy for dinner parties. I like when I’ve seen decanters at other people’s apartments and the wine sloshes around in there in a satisfying way. that alone is worth the money.

It’s no secret that the triangular parcel of land known as The Lot Radio is Brooklyn’s 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 air— or, if you’re lucky, stumble onto a set from Octo Octa, Nick León, or Honey Dijon.

I adore music zines. Always loved them. I don’t 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, I’m 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 Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier; Love Injection, a long-running club culture zine by NYC’s Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele; and Shadow Wolf, the handiwork of Holland-based electronic artist Legowelt.

It’s rare to read sharply worded, negative reviews nowadays, and I get it. Writing (and publishing) negative criticism can feel like the most thankless, isolating work in journalism. Few writers are eager to subject themselves to torrents of internet backlash or risk access to artists’ camps, especially to further a form often said to be outmoded by the general populace. But, as many have persuasively argued, it is essential— and perhaps now more than ever, given its diminishing presence in media.It‘s been a relief lately to see younger voices like Constantly Hating (Substack), Antiart (Instagram), and Gabi Belle (Youtube) emerge in new outlets, offering sometimes clumsy but always entertaining takes. Nothing satisfies like a warranted pan backed by a well-argued thesis. It lends color and character to the author, raises stakes and standards for artists, and catalyzes necessary discourse. It also helps frustrated listeners feel seen (and see each other).
