Takeaways:
1. I doubt i’ve ever wanted to live in a movie more than I have ever wanted watching this.
2. The best soundtrack in a movie i’ve ever watched (so far).
3. Oh to be a teen living in the 90s/early 2000s, working (hanging out and getting paid) at a record shop.
PS: I’m on the lookout for contenders, please recommend ❤️

listening to a movie soundtrack on vinyl is so sick because all of the intentionality of putting a record on, playing it, flipping it, etc. in tandem with the intentional composition of a movie soundtrack for certain scenes and the arc of the film in general makes you feel like you're in a movie for the run of the record. my personal favorites:
- shaft (isaac hayes, 1971)
- superfly (curtis mayfield, 1972)
- the social network (trent reznor + atticus ross, 2010 – they also did the challengers soundtrack!)
bonus: if your life is a movie (fr) i think getting past the "poser" anxiety and just buying your favorite albums on vinyl and listening to them as the soundtrack for your life brings the same vibe. for me:
- time traveler + wagenmuzik (gum.mp3)
- room 25 + telefone (noname)
- ctrl (sza)
- starboy (the weeknd)
- the misseducation of lauryn hill (lauryn hill)
- what's goin' on (marvin gaye)
- channel orange (frank ocean)
...among others
bonus bonus: jazz. miles davis, duke ellington, stevie wonder, sun ra, pick your poison

The other day, a business man, stuck in the 5 o’clock weekday rush rammed into my side, completely oblivious to the fact that I existed. He had his head turned down onto his phone. Naturally I peeked over only to be at a complete loss for words. This grown man had asked chatgpt “what is 35 divided by 4?”. So, while stuck in between the man who can’t do basic math nor open the calculator app, and the man picking his nose, I became to wonder, is this really what ai searches are like?

always enough to fund wars
Never enough money to house the homeless,
always enough money for bombs
Never enough money for healthcare,
always enough money to poison our resources“
