Good luck - bladee and mechatok

Good Luck is Bladee’s best project (yes I have listened to them all). Good Luck is so good that I’m going to write a substack about it soon. Can make two into one!

the new bladee mixtape

a perfect example of music that is neither 'my usual taste' nor 'targeted to my demographic' and yet it charmed me immediately. the distorted bass is so aggressive as to become soothing; lines like "i'm violently drug abusing weed" and "i'm normal / in the club dressed formal" had me rolling on the floor laughing. give Bladee a try!

MARs 2112

had at least 3 birthdays here when I was a kid. it was a massive subterranean mars-themed restaurant with an elevator that looked and felt like a rocket ship (even though it only actually went 2 floors down). pretty sure they turned it it into din tai fung.

Woman in the dunes

Caught it at Metrograph last night. A true masterpiece about the nature of work and identity in Japan and beyond. I left thinking “maybe Sisyphus did have a choice?”

"WE weren't supposed to come up with something this clean"

I think about this line from virgil abloh's lecture at columbia's architecture school all the time, which is about the Yeezus album cover. a testament to how, when you put in enough hours, sometimes you create work that transcends your current capabilities - even if just by chance.
