Sometimes your Youtube algorithm blesses you. Mostly obscure funk and jazz albums from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. A treasure trove of a record store in the palm of your hand.
If you can find one or two rando pieces of music, and start clicking on related links, you will soon be flooded with a never-ending stream of recommendations, most of which are gas. It’s still the GOAT discovery algorithm
Spotify is morally dubious; record collections take up too much space. Instead, listen to jazz-rock tunes from the 80's on YouTube and smile while people discuss the beauty of Portugal in the comments.
I’m obsessed with only listening to music through YouTube channels that get 200 hits per video. I’ve found absolute gold in all of these channels and the auto play on YouTube is great! No more algorithms recommending me music!

I’ve always had difficulty shopping for clothes. A mixture of ignorance and a lanky profile. In the past year, with the help of my girlfriend, I’ve started to enjoy investing in well made pieces. I have 2 pairs of Evan Kinori pants. He is a pattern and garment maker in San Francisco. They both are some of my favorite pants I’ve ever owned and only seem to get better with age. One of the pairs is dyed with ​​fermented persimmon (kakishibu) and dried in the sun giving it a unique pattern. I’d wear everything he makes.
