Singing in a falsetto baby voice makes everything better. Most things I write these days starts out in baby voice and only evolves into “normal” voice later. Think like alt-J guy singing voice meets Blossom Dearie meets Tiny Tim. Singing this way when writing makes everything cute and dumb (two unforgetabble tenets of all good art). Takes the edge off of when you’re trying to write super emo serious lyrics too and gives you perspective. Goo goo ga!

My friend Forrest recently called me the world’s premiere gift horse mouth looker. Whenever I’m paid a compliment, I feel the need to explain myself. My debilitating anxiety prevents me from doing normal things, like choosing an ice cream flavor, folding my laundry, or falling in love. All I can do is whine, whimper, wail, mewl, moan, make a fuss. One way I shut myself up is through somatic vocal toning exercises. I close my eyes, fill my lungs with air, and slowly say “Vvvvvvvvoooooooooooommmmmmmooooooooooo.” The vibrations make me dizzy, dislodging me from consciousness as my heartbeat becomes a kick drum under my verbal drone, and for a moment, I feel blissfully stupid, detached from my self, fully present in my body. No thoughts. Head empty.

The mysterious online entity known only as “DJ Wallh4x” released this project on Club Cringe back in 2021. Every moment scratches every fold of your brain. Although the samples on the album range from cute video game references to church hymn vibes, there’s an undeniable evilness in every track. I listened to the whole album in the shower the other morning and had such a glorious day after. Favorite tracks “BMORA CLUB”, “Buy Mode”, “Crazy Hand”.

Spaghett = Miller High Life with Aperol and lemon juice, perfect beverage to sip at Rebecca’s while Christian shows us his favorite folk punk bands. I can’t tell you how many soul crushing anti-folk and twee shit I’ve heard with one of these beverages in my hand. Sometimes we’ll even hit the CDJs at Rebecca’s on a Monday night fueled by Spaghetts. I’m scheming on a full breakcore remix of the entire album “Building Nothing Out of Something” by Modest Mouse and debuting it there.

I don’t play as many video games as I’d like to these days, but I absolutely adore the deep dive gamer-documentaries that Nick Robinson makes on Youtube. He does these insane vlog meets documentary meets investigative journalism meets internet archivist videos that sometimes explore games I have no knowledge about whatsoever but they’re so freaking high production and entertaining. He has like 3 videos dedicated to the discontinued Domino’s Pizza app that ran in Japan and featured an augmented reality Hatsune Miku function that I adore. We met him when we were in Texas earlier this year and he’s very chill. His videos bring niche lore to the masses and leave with you a sense of contentment and resolve. The future of journalism and documentaries is in Youtubers like Nick Robinson.
