I don’t know if any still exist, but you used to be able to find Berklee, Northeastern, etc. students playing in basements in Allston. They’re basically artsy kid frat parties though so idk if they’d be good after college

Boston is permanently atrocious re: nightlife and/or coolness in almost every way, *but* DJ Kon — an incredible globe-trotting talent in the disco/house/edits zone, also of the legendary beat-digging duo Kon & Amir — lives there, *and* he plays out occasionally (in fact he's playing @ Middlesex tonight in Central Square). So my recommendation would be to meet the friends/fans of Kon and maybe they will clue you into some more underground parties, *if* they exist (they probably don't because Boston sucks!!... but you might as well try).

Untitled is probably Boston‘s best underground DJ series- always finding cool and archaic places to spin, always packing basements and warehouses, always creating beautiful nights. guaranteed to make a close friend

Just kidding, totally different vibes, good luck though. In terms of aboveground venues maybe start with @6amgroup techno listings and try to dig one or two levels down from there.

Don’t let the doctors and intermittent fasters tell you otherwise. Food is energy and it makes you strong and helps you concentrate and be happy. Don’t let that blood sugar dip down. Hold the line.

Dot has me under her spell, under her thumb, under her boot. I never stood a chance against that single-origin Japanese MSG.

Try reading essay collections or autofiction. It feels more similar to something you’d read online. Also don’t just look up “best books” and stick yourself with something challenging right off the bat. Read something exciting and fun: Steven King, Ira Levin, basically the types of books that get turned into movies.
