Oracular Spectacular - MGMT (yes, I was that kid with a quote from “Future Reflections” on my senior yearbook page)
It’s Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (decades before I would obsess over the YYYs after reading Meet Me In The Bathroom)
Strange Mercy - St. Vincent (saw her open for Andrew Bird and was hooked until Daddy’s Home… Annie Clark you will always be famous)

wolf by tyler, the creator: if you asked me to pick just one album, it would be this. i was obsessed with everything odd future throughout high school but this album in particular was so special to me. i still remember watching the countdown to the domo 23 video premiere on my little iphone 4
d.a.i.s.y. rage by kitty: technically not an album but must be mentioned. according to my itunes i listened to every song on this mixtape genuinely 800-1000 times in ninth grade alone. kitty was ahead of her time and overhated imo. the song about getting anxiety rashes? she got me. still does!!
art angels by grimes: i used to regularly hit the post limit on tumblr

such a tender and fun time... could just be looped in with that era of indie rock but there was something so distinct about it (twee? sparkly? childlike? maybe that's my own perception of its influence on me at the time?) someone still loves you boris yeltsin, freelance whales, clap your hands say yeah, midlake, islands, rogue wave, throw me the statue ETC!!!! i feel like i'm puking at homecoming bc my ex bf is grinding with my best friend and i am going home to burn a CD about it!!!!!

As a kid I was already into music in a way, but nothing felt like it was my own taste. My parents gave me a love for pre-1980s rock— Beatles, Stones, Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, ect.
For my 13th(?) birthday my older sister gave me three CDs that I burned onto my iPod. They were:
The Suburbs — Arcade Fire
Oracular Spectacular — MGMT
Vampire Weekend— Vampire Weekend

I won the brown cow mug in a contest where you had to collect yogurt container lids. For that brief time, I was quite addicted to brown cow yogurt, but mostly just wanted this mug. Even though it's a little chipped now, I still love it for my java indulgences.
For non-Matcha teas, I often choose this mug I got from Minx Factory in Barcelona. I am a huge fan of theirs. I had a pastel mug previously but it broke when I moved back to Columbus from Chicago.

Not just enjoying your favorite matcha on mother's day, but also impulse buying a matcha kit for your mom after learning that she's never had matcha before. My current favorite variety is Kyoto Matcha Masudean. Resplendent way to start the day
