future perfect - autolux

do yourself a favor and give it a listen this album is, to me, nearly flawless front to back. it turns 20 this year and feels easily like something that could’ve been released in the past couple of months first listened to it all the way through after hearing subzero fun at the river nyc last summer and it’s become a fav ever since ♥️

Sun june — somewhere

Listen, I just need you to stop whatever you’re doing for a second. This album is perfect. I mean it. Perfect. They’re so under appreciated as a band and relatively unknown. Chances are you’ll be the only person in your friend group who knows of them — imagine how cool you’ll be when you introduce your friends to Sun June. Insane. They’ll worship you. They’ll say “oh _____ is so so cool and hot and smart!” In all seriousness, this was the first album my daughter listened to after being born. Whenever I’m stressed or worried or anxious, this album is a hard reset for me. It’s sort nostalgic regret pop and well worth the listen.

Can’t Be Cool Forever

Literally just recommended another song from this album (and the whole album) in my last rec, but I’m so for real. This album is fantastic and has a song for so many nuanced nostalgias, and is so full of yearning. I will forever herald its beauty

A SMALL SCREEN IN YOUR KITCHEN

I grew up with a small TV in our kitchen and thought the added element of visual entertainment made kitchen activities better than they might have been otherwise. I use an iPad these days with a stand that I can move around as well as an adhesive wall mount. It makes dish washing and cooking a thousand times more bearable even if I’m not paying as much attention to what’s on the screen. There’s also something really cozy about it being small.

reading books that your grandparents (+) owned

It’s a way to transcend time and to be connected to people in your family you feel you might not easily relate to because of the generational divide, especially if they’ve passed. It’s a look into their genuine interests and personality, especially if they’ve annotated in the margins. The ability to do this is valuable if you can. I think it builds or strengthens empathy, and gives you a stronger foundation for appreciating your family history. Not to mention you’ll likely get an interesting reading experience out of it. The (+) is for great-grandparents and beyond.

pivoting from ”girlhood” to ”womanhood”

in my very unimportant opinion, too many adult women are obsessed with “girlhood” and embracing a “girly” lifestyle and I can’t for the life of me understand why they aren’t embracing “womanhood.” are adult women simply afraid of what leaving girlhood behind would mean for them? is it the prospect of the added responsibility that comes from being an adult that keeps them attached to their younger years? or is it just the aesthetics of girlhood that keep them in that mindset? yes when we were girls the world was so open, so new, so mysterious. why should that have to change entirely with age? some women may have more lived experiences and aren’t as easily impressed or mystified by things as they were during girlhood, but i think thats all relative to perspective. there are still sensations, mysteries and first times after the age of 25 and even 45 and so on. shouldn’t we experience it through the lens of women who have already passed the trials of girlhood? maybe this is just another millennial problem.
