Popular where I’m from in Mississippi. In high school, every weekend my friends and I would listen to Dave Matthews and not drink alcohol. We’d drive to Bonsai, a Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you at your table.I don’t know why but going the fuck in on fried rice and teppanyanki chicken just hits kinda harder in the South.

even the “mid” places are so so great to me. Like it’s so fun to customize your own soup. Tonkotsu or miso broth? bok choy or baby corn? Thinly sliced pork belly or shrimp? it doesn’t even really matter it’s literally all good.
and these places are always packed with people and music and have great drinks. Bring a date or as many friends as possible.

Only messing with it if it’s a cheap forgettable looking strip mall place and I can load up on Sapporo and sake, or, the other side of the coin, I have Jiro himself feeding it to me. Trendy fusion place? No thank you!

Mysterious band and one of my favs ever. “God Has Lips: Collected Recordings Vol.1” is the new album, their first release since 2010. This is that real shit I would like to listen to in a locker room before a game drinking blue gatorade dipping Skoal mint longcut kicking over garbage cans.

I initially did not dare to self-promote in this fine newsletter. Then I considered that maybe I’m just a lil bald lil bitchboy if I don’t mention the film which I spent years making. In Dogleg, I play an amateur director who loses his girlfriend’s dog at a gender reveal party on the morning of a big shoot. We just wrapped a string of premieres in L.A. and NYC and this summer the film will act like a band and go on a world tour. 🌎🗺️ Peter Jackson (LOTR) said in Esquire: “I’m still thinking about it a week later. It’s the best film I’ve seen in 2023.” Playing in your city soon.

The work of Italian musician and visual artist Lorenzo Senni is all about anticipation. His music ranges from angular, beatless-trance-buildups – it sounds like it reads – to orchestral deconstruction. His mixes, his film scores, his runway show scores, his albums – it’s very my shit. Very inspiring. He runs “Presto!? Records” in Milan and is also a super nice guy.
