Okay, I like ambient music – sue me. One of my favorite composers is a French electronic artist whose music I might describe as ethereal. It’s like soft-reverb-soaked, loop-based, nighttime-inspired melodic music. She’s prolific in the studio but rarely plays shows and doesn’t do a lot of press. Her side projects (Dj Lostboi and Belmont Girl) are just as interesting. If I were going to make a movie about eternity, I would have her score it.https://soundcloud.com/mmmmalibuhttps://soundcloud.com/belmontghttps://soundcloud.com/djlostboi

Maybe my favorite ambient track ever. Malibu/DJ Lostboi’s music is so wistful, emotional…..if you’re bored by Brian Eno’s ambient work like me, I highly recommend checking out Malibu/DJ Lostboi… much more compelling works regarding time, movement, travel, airplanes …. lmk what you think ❤️

Can't pick favourites so I'm letting myself choose a bunch :) Sue me
Mogwai Fear Satan, Mogwai —A quarter of an hour of post-rock with a beautiful, beautiful build.
It Never Entered My Mind, Miles Davis Quintet — Feels a bit cheaty because it's jazz and there definitely are lyrics inspiring the lead melody.. still wonderful for pensive late-night walks.
Earth Moon Transit, Duster — if you haven't sat back and spent time with this album, what are you doing? Clear an evening and put it on repeat. Yes, technically it has lyrics. Personally I barely hear them.
Prologue, Kamasi Washington — Such powerful energy on the closing track of last year's album.
Blade Runner Blues, Vangelis — the song that made me fall in love with synthesisers.

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.

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.
