My car speakers are one of my most trusted companions. So I spend a lot of time driving because it's where I listen back to the music I'm making. A package of BCSPTs left in the passenger seat the evening before a warm summer morning drive is my hottest hot tip. If you haven't done this, you should do this.
Driving with the windows down and the heat (and heated seats if you got em) BLASTING any time it gets over 40 degrees with your Audio media on loud as hell bc it makes you feel free!
This recent music video for "Juna" by Clairo (another favorite) reminded me how great and criminally underutilized the mouth trumpet is. I'd pay to see her and Stephen Colbert have a mouth trumpet-off.
There are opinionated stationary snobs all over the world and they're my kind of people. But it isn't weight or style or size that gets me going. Give me a thick piece of lead above all else. My recent favorite writing companion is the Mark Sheet Sharp 1.3 mechanical pencil Style B. The description says it's "Perfect for filling in bubble sheets" and the description don't lie.
