Backgammon
Unlike chess, which can leave you at the mercy of a 45 minute defeat with only your insufficient brain power to blame, backgammon has a nice and light pace to it.  Rolling dice feels good and you can put the blame on them in hindsight. I think board games like that are a great way to sit and spend time with people and be in each other's presence.

It’s better IRL but you don’t always have a friend right there to play it with. It’s always fun winning as well

such an underrated alternative to the dopamine rush of social media. finishing a hard sudoku puzzle has the same mental effect on me as scrolling on tik tok but it’s actually like beneficial

Chopping an onion
Probably the number one domestic activity I fantasize about when I’m on tour. There’s a groundedness to it that feels like the antithesis of road life. Cooking is often the first thing I do upon returning home.

Scott Walker - Scott 3 (music)
One of the albums that I’ve listened to the most. I remember many years ago being on acid watching the sun rise from my window and listening to Scott 3 feeling like I was riding through every emotion on the record to the furthest possible extremes, it was overwhelming and magnificent. When it was over I looked at myself in the mirror and saw I had become an old man.

Metropolitan Ervin Szabo Library, Budapest
The old study halls of Ervin Szabo library are hidden away on the fourth floor of what first seems like a fairly standard public library. The rooms are staggeringly beautiful and one of the best places I’ve come across for writing / reading / sitting in the quiet.
