A small press magazine edited by Maria J. Pérez Cuervo with art direction by Nathaniel Hébert. Part of a reemergence of British folk horror that delves into history, archaeology, psychogeography, and the occult. They’ve also published a Hellebore Guide to Occult Britain and a Magical Card Battle game that pits Crowley against the Wicker Man. I’ve spent much of the last few years moving back & forth between the US and the UK, so it’s been fun and somewhat therapeutic to explore the supernatural mythos that surrounds my country of origin.

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

I used to be obsessed with a dish at this Taiwanese restaurant Little Fatty - a “sunday gravy” served with pipe rigate pasta instead of rice. Here’s the TOP SECRET recipe that I managed to track down and successfully prepare. Cooking time: 3 hours. Ingredients: 1 lb ground pork, 1 lb cubed pork butt, 1 lb cubed pork belly, 1/4 cup shiitake mushrooms, 1 large strip of kombu seaweed, 1/2 cup shallots, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp fish sauce, dash of sesame oil, 2 tsp hoisin sauce, 2 tsp sambal sauce, 2 tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine, 2 tbsp kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce), 1 tsp five-spice powder, chicken stock to cover. Directions: Soak the kombu and shiitake mushrooms in hot water. After 10 minutes, dice the shiitake mushrooms and kombu. Mince the garlic and shallots. In a large bowl, measure and combine all the liquids, then set aside. In a large pot, brown all the meat in two batches over medium heat. In a separate pan, sweat shallots, garlic, and mushrooms for 5 minutes, then combine them with the meat pot. Add the liquids and spices. Add enough chicken stock to cover the meat mixture by half an inch. Bring to boil, then simmer for 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes. Serve with pasta (or steamed rice) and pickled mustard greens.

This synth-plugin has been doing the rounds amongst my producer friends since it was released at the end of last year. It has a pretty radical approach, using Sonic Charge’s “genopatch technology” to grow and unravel synth patches based on a small audio sample. It isn’t really like sampling - it’s a much more beautiful and chaotic hall of mirrors. Pure synthesis has never been easier or more uncanny than this.

A modern music folklore podcast hosted by Alaska Reid and featuring a wide range of interviewees. I’ve been with Alaska for the last 6 years, so I’ve really witnessed and learned a lot from her dedication to songwriting. She’s also a human can-opener, extracting golden nuggets while discussing her guests’ rawest demos. There’s a new, extremely thorough episode with Gus from Kero Kero Bonito, someone else who I’ve known for a long time, and it’s special to hear such a sincere conversation in an otherwise opaque online world. Her episode with Lauren Mayberry is also particularly direct and touches on a lot of things that musicians don’t often talk about.
