Recently, my car's aux finally broke for good, so while I wait to replace it, I've been listening to my local alternative radio station. The traffic report is super helpful and I love my DJs!! Like, these are people in my community that have been on the air for at least 10+ years and I love that I can trust them. Sometimes I'll tune in and it's really not my thing but then the next song is so near and dear to my heart. Maybe it's because my friend's mom would pick us up either blasting Kendrick's DAMN or 92 The ZEW, but it's such a nice nostalgic feeling for me. It's crazy to tune into the radio and hear the same voice introduce the same song that I heard ten years ago with my bestie. So try pausing your playlist and let the DJs guide you next time you buckle up.

Last summer while traveling I got a pocket radio so that instead of listening to my same Spotify playlists I could tap in to the pulse of wherever I was visiting. It was such an amazing experience of feeling connected to place and feeling very aware of the people around me. like I am part of this! We are all part of this!!
I could rant forever about why I’m passionate about local radio…but we all know music is an incredible mechanism to connect/communicate with people- and where hits stations loose identity, algorithm driven streaming becomes such an island. Local radio fills an important niche of here. now. us. we. are experiencing this together

A lost art to many young people. Streaming fatigue claims millions of lives every year, let somebody else choose the music for a while! In my first year living in a new city it’s been a great way to feel a bit more local as well, my favorite LA stations are KJAZZ 88.1 and KXLU 88.9. It’s so fun to flip through the airwaves and just listen to a bit here and there, not having to commit to anything or think about it too hard.

following up on one of my favourite albums Space 1.8 (2021), Sinephro heals with her soft sax melodies and dreamy synths

I've found doing these exercises to be extremely useful in both my spiritual as well as my creative practices. Pauline Oliveros described "Deep Listening" as a way of listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Highly recommend listening to the album on vinyl if you are blessed with the opportunity <3

If you were a diehard fan of Bojack Horseman like me, then you'll appreciate the ironic humour and witty, autochthonic sci-fi of Undone. Created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy, this show had me on the edge of my seat the entire two sittings that it took to finish watching two seasons.
