This is over a year old, but I discovered Bud Smith in the latest issue of Paris Review and thought this interview was incredible.
Very tight tech from the New York Times.
LISTENING
Uncle Tupelo performing “Gun” in ‘92. Peak Tweedy vocals if you ask me!
Skullcrusher - one of the best EPs of the year so far. Only 11 minutes too for you non-ep/album listeners.
Mount Kimbie recorded an amazing set for Crack Magazine last Bandcamp Friday.
WEARING
Nabbed some great vintage soccer shorts from this site for super cheap.
Industry of All Nations allowing me to sustainably flex on every Brooklyn dude who wears all black even in 100 degree heat.
Another Aspect are releasing an overshirt with the always fantastic Greek publication Kennedy Magazine. Preorders are live until August 9th.
WATCHING
Watched Elevator to the Gallows soley bc of the Miles Davis score but ended up loving the movie even more. Copping the Criterion Edition looks to be worth it too.
The Landa Conservatory has been a savior during quarantine for these aesthetically pleasing meditation videos.
Powers of Ten, Directed by Charles and Ray Eames
