WE'RE BACK! 2026! Wow. Let's get into it. I Enjoy Music Photo Club (?) (!) I love New Years / January so much. Not in a "I'll start drinking green juice way" exactly, but I am into a fresh start, a do-over. Recent Januarys haven&

I listened to Rosalía's new album LUX in the car on its release day, driving to and from a lil happy hour with friends in Silver Lake. It's incredible. This shit a dang opera is what I thought, like two songs in. I do not speak

I first clocked the existence of Pachyman—aka the Puerto Rican-born, Los Angeles-based dub reggae artist Pachy Garcia—through a really good PR email subject line: For Pachyman, "it’s always Reggae Christmas."

The internet is one of the places where I live, and so a few days ago I was in my home, scrolling, and I saw a photo. I shared it on Bluesky already and a lot of people responded with some version of "none of these words are in

Summer '25. Weird summer. I think we can all say the vibes have gone awry. I'm in my 'third trimester' and my unborn child has stopped being polite and started getting real. Once upon a time I wrote a thesis about James Joyce's
