a perfect NO-SKIP album. literally the blueprint and my childhood musical obsession thanks to my iconic father. This, Glass Candy's B/E/A/T/B/O/X and Miss Kittin and The Hacker's First Album were some of my early vinyl acquisitions as a young alt.Fav tracks - Ultrasex: 'Black Sunglasses' & 'Unspeakable' B/E/A/T/B/O/X: 'Rolling Down The Hills' First Album: 'Stripper' & '1982'

sublime & underrated 90s album with almost club-like addicting beats, airy vocals & hip hop elements. Seems like everyone’s experience with this artist is “wow i heard this song on my local radio station in 1990-something and i still can’t get it off my mind”.
Current fav song: “Fall”

My buddy Zack just put me on this album because ur boi loves him some 1990s ambient/dream pop type beats and this certainly scratched the itch. Fave tracks: Skin Divers, Distractions, Darling Effect. I love the artwork as well - it is by The Senate who did a lot of artwork for Everything But The Girl (who is always in heavy rotation at Intramural HQ) in the early 90s.

Though Massive Attack and Portishead often steal the trip-hop limelight (and perhaps rightfully so), Sneaker Pimp's 6 Underground is the real unsung masterpiece of the genre in my opinion. It’s crafty sampling of John Barry’s Goldfinger Bond score, Kelli Ali’s arresting vocal, and Nellee Hooper’s bombastic beat create an effect that I can only describe as novacane. I thank my father for turning me on to trip-hop so early, as it soundtracked much of my youth through middle and high school.

im a big fan of inconveniencing myself for the vibe. For example, buying a 1965 Dodge Dart and pronouncing it my daily driver was maybe not the most reasonable choice… However, It’s a beautiful piece of machinery & I wouldn’t trade the daily micro-nuisances for anything. I think it’s important to romanticize your life. Making my daily tasks more difficult and beautiful adds a certain flavor to things I can’t really describe. I’ve never been one for efficiency.

the patron saint of the sexy, intellectual, thottie and untasteful-tasteful L.A. woman. I refer to her as the bimbo Joan Didion (i mean that in the least reductive way possible) The summer i discovered this book i was working a dead end retail job on Sunset Blvd. and literally got fired for reading it on the clock. she's a genius. the blueprint.
