Upon a re-listen I remeber why I loved this record so much when it was released (and it is insane to me that it was over a decade ago!) This is probably one of the best pop records of the modern era, and regardless of your thoughts about Jack Antonoff now, this record has a lot of tracks that still sound incredible! Highlights are “Wake Me,” “Take me Away,” and the collab with Yoko Ono, but that track (as it is a reprise of the first track) is best enjoyed after listening to the whole album IMO.

One of the most aggressively strange albums ever made. Unhinged prog-pop 2000s Pet Sounds with hardcore ADHD. I love it so much. For some reason all summer 2019 I committed myself to falling asleep to it nightly, which strikes me now as an incredibly unbalanced thing to do. It also led to some unconscious plagiarism on my part, accidentally quoting it on music I made after, which was a cool experiment.
Every friend I've played it for has either a) fallen head-over-heels for it and or b) told me to never play it around them again or else our friendship would be over.
I adore it adore it adore it, it expands my idea of what music can be and how indulgent and unfriendly you can be to your "audience." Check it out if you're inclined towards spazz shit.

ok actually listen to the whole record. But the big song off of it is a good glimpse into the whole thing. Absolutely killer indie rock album, it’s so charmingly odd and goes through all kinds of twists and turns.

Big rec here
I was initially drawn in by the album art (always judge a book by it's cover) and ended up completely obsessed with the hypnotic chorus & atmosphere of this one.
Had no idea it was isaac from Strange Ranger's new project until 3 minutes ago.
If love and only love can break your heart
What's this tearing mine apart?
Oh yeah
Oh baby
The years flying faster all the time
I lie awake and dream all night
Oh yeah
Oh baby
So good

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing!
I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

At my local indie cinema for a projection of the new Nosferatu, infinitely grateful I have a place like this I can go to see new stuff and incredible programming!

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered
