Vampire Weekend is the best band of all time. I exclusively listen to Edith Piaf, the Newsies Soundtrack, and Vampire Weekend. But mostly Vampire Weekend. I play that shit on repeat all day long. I wake up and listen to “Horchata” for about an hour, then I move on to the song “Step” and then for the rest of the day, walking around New York, I listen to their album “Father of the Bride.” I fell in love for the first time to the sounds of Vampire Weekend, and so I just don’t see the point in listening to anything else. I’ve never had sex to Vampire Weekend but my next boyfriend will love doing that, I just know it. VW’s music lifts me up and shoves me down and makes me nostalgic for things I have and haven’t had. Their music works well in every country. I feel like life is big and beautiful and that I’m absolutely unstoppable when “I Stand Corrected” is blasting. People like to say I have terrible taste in music but I disagree. Also, there is nothing ironic about my praise here. I love Vampire Weekend. I hope one day I become semi-famous so that they will have no choice but to play at my wedding.

Saw them play their album release show for Father of the Bride, in 2019. The show was at Webster Hall, and it started at 10 or 11 in the morning. There were bagels for breakfast and pizza later for lunch. They played three sets and it lasted until the mid afternoon. Nearly every song in their catalogue was performed, as well as a bunch of great covers. They opened with “Sunday Morning” by the Velvet Underground. It was definitely the longest show I’ve ever been to, and easily one of the best. The band was on fire, the crowd was locked in.

I smoke a lot of cigarettes. It is what it is. I smoke a pack and a half a day, which is scary, but is also kind of cool. In NYC, that’s a lot of moolah so I had to do a lot of searching to find the folks who sell cigs for cheap. The deli on Catherine street in Chinatown sells packs for ten dollars a pop. I thought about giving the full name and address away, but I also live in fear of their prices spiking so instead I will just tell you it’s near Madison and is certainly on Catherine. Goodluck.

My favorite place. My own little Oasis. The beautiful women. The leisure and the partying. I don’t know. I’ve been to Norway over eight times and the only thing I know how to say in Norwegian is, “I AM A JEW!” which I think works just fine. Oslo is beautiful and small enough to conquer in two weeks. By conquer I mean make yourself known. I like being a big fish in a small pond, I guess. My Oslo Picks:⁃Smalhans (delicious food)⁃Cemetery of Our Savior (I had sex here in the dead of night once and then broke my ankle by stomping on Munch’s grave)⁃Gapet (across from the graveyard and a really nice place to get drunk)⁃Izakaya (perfect date spot)⁃Litteraturhuset (great place to read and write)⁃Fretex (vintage chain that locals probably hate but that I always find good stuff in)⁃The Vigeland Park (incredible) (that said any and all of the parks in Oslo in the summertime are DREAMS)Favorite Norwegian People:⁃Kristoffer Borgli: the only living genius⁃August Bror’s clothes⁃IBSEN⁃Eirik Saether’s art⁃Joachim Trier’s movies

People often ask me for relationship advice because I have an unhinged Twitter account that documents my romantic pitfalls. I find it to be pretty disconcerting considering I am an emotional monster and a loser in the sack, but for some reason, cute college girls still come knocking. I have a compulsive need to share everything I’m thinking to anyone who will listen, but I’ve never gone into explicit detail about my last relationship partly because I really respect my ex,  and partly because I still don’t know what to make of it. I cheated on him. It was awful. I promised myself I’d never be unfaithful again because I know no greater pain than hurting the person you love. My last ex is the only person I’ve ever broken up with, and it took me forever to do it. First, we went on a break. Then, we got back together. Then he proposed. I didn’t say no but I didn’t say yes either. It took three months to fully break up, and it was only until I read this article that I was able to muster the courage to do the damn thing. I loved my ex with all my heart - in ways I still love him - and it was so hard to part ways because  he hadn’t done anything “wrong.” He was impossibly dedicated to me. Impossibly kind, impossibly smart, impossibly loving. But I knew things weren’t working. I knew I wanted more. Anyway, this article says it better than I can. Bottom line: If there is a “tiny clear voice” inside you that is saying “GO”, you must listen to it.
