I’ve been recommending this 2024 release to everyone. It’s supremely relaxing, but moves enough that you won’t feel bored and fall asleep if that isn’t your intention. It elevates evening showers in a dimly lit bathroom.

i work a physically intensive job, so setting aside time to center myself and tend to my mobility is very important to me. that said, a surprising amount of work goes into finding the perfect backing track for these quiet moments of remediation, and andré 3000’s ‘new blue sun’ has been a haven for me since its release.
the lead melodies on its opening track incentivize thoughtful, intentional breathing, and encourage reflection in ways simple guided meditations simply can’t measure up to. on more than one occasion, i may or may not have been moved to tears by its ethereal cascades of emotion :’)
when the talking heads over at headspace just can’t cut it, three stacks comes through ^_^
here are some other picks that put me in an ideal headspace to face the world, ever poised on the precipice of collapse:
• brian eno — ’music for airports’
• hiroshi yoshimura — ‘music for nine post cards‘
• adrianne lenker — ‘instrumentals’
• floating points & pharoah sanders — ‘promises’
i should do a playlist of these…

Recently discovered this album of feel-good sound waves. I often listen to it when I draw, work or puzzle, and I sometimes like to wind down my day with it in the background.
Got very excited today because I discovered the artist will be releasing it on vinyl soon!!
Sometimes falling in love with yourself is okay. Being alone with your soul is okay. This album feels nostalgic like that.

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.

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.
