absolutely loved Space 1.8, just 1 track into the new album right now and it’s sounding as good as ever. Such a rich and deep sound, I’m so excited to listen though and revisit it often throughout the season change
Nala is a jazz/harp/electronica wizard and everything she makes is mesmeric. Her albums are designed for full-length listens but this song (Continuum 5) is a juicy little sneak peek into her iridescent world!!!
I work three jobs and am getting my BA part time. I have hobbies, friends, and an active social appetite. I’m also subject to the 24 hour day. Sometimes that doesn’t really feel doable. in the middle of winter, you can get an Airbnb in Burlington Vermont for $30 a night. it’s a small room, a bed, a window. Shared kitchen, both spare and kitschy (a notable achievement I feel). though I can’t afford to leave all that often, this is how I do it. I go for 5ish days, I sleep a lot, I eat well enough, I read and write a lot because I feel like I can really unload. it is so quiet, and if you wanted to go somewhere at night you could, but you’ll find you rarely want to. When I got off the train in Burlington it was snowing and the snow stuck to everything, even the asphalt and I just started laughing maniacally in an empty parking lot.
they just put out their first print issue and managed to wrangle some very fun writers (from hannah baer to ed park, some deisgn by pippa garner) into writing some very interesting essays and stories. super charmed by the fact that it is printed on a kind of very thick newsprint? a unique tactile experience. its like eight bucks and they'll ship it to your lovely little home, wherever it may be. also this is a great question thank you for asking it.
Unsure to do with that bag of carrots sitting in your fridge? This is the coolest and most surprising answer. sure to excite guests, this one probably takes two run throughs with recipe assurance and then can be cooked from memory. it’s sort of impossible to fuck up too bad because at the end you add 2+ cups of parmesan and a quantity of butter that makes higher powers take notice. it makes me feel like a chef, it makes my friends feel fed and happy, it makes fantastic leftovers, and in general brings a haze of good cheer that settles upon the house for 2-3 days minimum. the photo is not mine. courtesy of nyt cooking, as is the recipe.
