This Zine should be way more popular. It’s most recent (AW22) issue is a beautiful fabric-bound hardcover book featuring legends such as Chloë Sevigny, John Waters, Paloma Elsesser, Richard Kern, Dasha Nekrashova, John Wilson, Eartheater, Caveh Zahedi, and Patti Smith. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea, it's a Zine that’s chock full of cool people being interviewed and photographed in or around the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York City. What's not to love?

I adore music zines. Always loved them. I don’t mean full-on glossy magazines, though I love those, too. I mean the handmade, typewritten, toner-smeared kind made out of printer paper and staples and a burning desire to participate in a tradition of creative writing, interviewing, art-making, and whatever other form of creativity one feels like stuffing into its pages. At the moment, I’m obsessed with a few: Hallogallo, which is run out of Chicago by Kai Slater (of the bands Lifeguard and Sharp Pins) and just published its 10th issue featuring an interview with Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier; Love Injection, a long-running club culture zine by NYC’s Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele; and Shadow Wolf, the handiwork of Holland-based electronic artist Legowelt.

“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Có nhớ mẹ không? I flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?
I miss you more than I remember you.”

I used to crash after work even i get off work relatively early (16:15) but I used to feel completely energy drained. I would feed and walk my dogs real quick, lay down, order dinner, root, sleep, repeat... I am from a small town in the seaside but I live in a huge city (Shanghai) for work and there are to beaches. I recently moved close to a river and also very close to my workplace. I have been following this routine: get off work, feed my dogs, take a 10 min break and do nothing other than petting my dogs (no screens, no musics, no podcasts, nothing at all, just cuddles) and then take my dogs to the river and walk for one and a half hours.
It has been life changing, I feel way more energized now, I get back home from the doggie walk and still feel like moving around the house, cooking, dealing with chores, dancing, you name it. I take way better care of myself now. Eat healthier, make sure I take my vitamins, and also sleep million time better. Small but super effective change :)
