There’s a video of Dave Grohl singing “My Hero” acoustic on Howard Stern and I’ve watched it one million times. I think it’s because it gives me a strong nostalgic feeling. I’ve memorized Howard asking Dave whether the song is about Kurt Cobain, and Dave Grohl saying “It’s just about heroes who are regular,” and then Robin saying she thinks it’s about Kurt Cobain, and then Dave Grohl being like “To me it’s more about when heroes are regular.” Something comforting about it.

when I got Spotify in high school I was really into the Velvet Underground and I loved this song in particular. It is promptly followed by the entirety of Bowie's "Blackstar", the Nirvana version of "The Man Who Sold The World", and a Weather Report song... says a lot about me in January 2016!

🎥The best movie theater in New York seats 35. See a movie here you know nothing about and you will be inspired. For me most recently it was a screening of Dave Wascavage’s Suburban Sasquatch. Simple Town has been lucky enough to play videos here twice. The first night was packed, the second night we sold two tickets, and both nights were perfect.

🔧The strap of my dress snapped a few years ago and then in minutes I sewed it back on and felt a satisfaction so profound that it had to be Ancient and Just. If you don’t know how to mend it, someone does… COBBLERS are REAL!!!!! I’ve seen them with my eyes and they have re-birthed my shoes like Gods on Earth. Mass consumption has us addicted to buying and discarding but I highly recommend repairing your shit - relationships too! My uncle who doesn’t shut up once told me that “life is all about maintenance” (genius) so I forgave him for being the way that he is!

🏖Robert Moses State Park is open in the winter, and if you go on a weekday you’ll probably have the entire beach to yourself and a few fishermen. Great for a contemplative walk wherein you mull things over spiritually. Towards sunset, can start to feel like you’ve reached the end of the earth and are about the meet God. Bring a blanket, some grapes and your copy of The Power Broker.
