Scott is an old friend from school. We bonded over Radiohead, Debussy, and making detail-oriented architectural rock music during the Spotify “bedroom pop” era. Scott is the type of musician who makes music constantly and releases it sporadically. He’s one of my favorite songwriters and an expert texturalist. Check out his single “No Changes,” the “Shelter Island Heights” EP, which I consider the classic era of his early work, or “One of a Kind,” my personal favorite.

The long canon of “alternative” lifestyles persists. Vibe expatriates. Downtown-core-core. Group chat as supergroup. Post-finpunk. Coffee & cig. Nicely tailored or altered clothing. Chelsea Hotel-core. Siestas. The Sun Also Rises is my fav book-core. Somewhere between Dada and vaporwave but still grunge. Digital folk art and hypermodern poetry. Making your living as a neo-cypherpunk bohemian post-dilettante freelancer.

Yes it’s true, I’m a Star Wars Prequels sympathizer. Cry about it. You are a midwit or probably too old to get it if you hate on them. Natalie Portman is great in them, and Hayden Christensen is not a bad actor, Anakin just has aspergers. I don’t cosign the Disney stuff.

A great man once said all black “was a uniform that signified that one was a kind of downtown aesthete; not necessarily nihilistic, but a monk in the bohemian order,” and this still rings true. When you’re wearing all black you’re wearing every color. It also makes you look slim.

This book changed my life when I was 16, reframing the way I think about daily challenges and the ebb and flow of life and such. There’s an effortless clear-pilledness to these words. I return to them often and keep a pocket-sized version in my backpack at all times. Chapter 11 resonates the most with me right now.

Building lore is crucial in this day and age. Sometimes not getting your picture taken at the function is ok. Refrain from posting banalities on your story when possible. Exercise deconstructive maximalism. Being an artist rather than an “Artist” is back, if you catch my drift.

DRES is a supergroup made up of Damon Rush (damon r. on Spotify) and Extra Small. They’re currently in Seoul working on an electronic record—self-described as gangstalking/boarding school music—and, of course, building lore. Their drip is effortless and unique. Jeremy Scott Adidas, leather, and anime silhouettes. You should collect their singles “Pick6” and "Blackbird.”

Belen gifted me this for my last birthday, and I love it. It’s not as expensive as you’d think, and it’s shaped like a heart.
