these specific ear plugs. ear plugs are a huge part of my life and it’s got to be these, i’ll explain why. i can only really relax and turn off if i have these in. if you squeeze them hard and get them pretty deep in the ear canal they will expand and create a 33db block of all sound, which for me is the absolute height of mediation and calm. must be specifically these and not just any old ear plug because a lot of other brands remove the harmful frequencies, but still let too much in. i sleep with them every night, and wear them throughout the day if i need to feel removed. what’s most interesting to me about having this range blocked out is that i feel it’s almost impossible to access anger with these in.

Assuming you mean a physical sound barrier and not an electronic device, these are the best! And you even can wear them while sleeping. I’m sensitive to noise when sleeping and these were the only things I found to survive my noisy neighbors.

I use these when playing music. They do a nice job of turning down everything, but I also fall back on the cheap foam fellas when I forget these at home.
But seriously, as a guy in his late-30’s with mild tinnitus, believe me when I tell you this shit sucks!! Literally anything is better than nothing.

most things i record go through the baby binson at some point. there’s lots of equipment i love in the studio, but this is the only one that i wish i had everywhere because i can't get enough of how it looks. it's nice to record a bunch of stacks of something, and then run it through this and play with it as one track from the binson. what it spits out often feels random and out of control, and that randomness has led to a lot of important ideas. i love to have it around in general to remind me of that. looking at it feels calming and like anything is possible.

this specific nasal spray is important. cleaning out your sinuses should be as important as brushing your teeth but god only knows what happened there with whatever lobby etc. i love this thing. nothing feels better after a plane or a show… or honestly even just after dinner.

this is the salad i eat most days from mendocino farms. the quinoa is lightly fried and i just love it. i look forward to it, and then when it's done i can't wait for tomorrow. it's that simple. i usually eat the same thing every day and i think about it and look forward to it all day and night.
