Like many other people within the last year I've been trying to buy a little more art to cover the walls of my apartment. (I can’t just have britpop and foreign movie posters everywhere)Sam Watterson is a Texas based illustrator and graphic artist. Aside from fronting one of the best hardcore bands to ever come out of Texas in the last 10 years ever (R.I.P The Real Cost) He’s an amazing artist. The colors are amazing and I love how much is going on in the piece. I just got two from him and will definitely get more.

Hal and many of his represented artists are good family friends and he is also a devoted patron of my father in his many talents. He gave me my first easel from his personal collection and I’ve enjoyed many a hippie drum circle at his house gus

This is an artist I really like that sells large canvases. Not sure what your budget is, but supporting artists directly is the best route imo, so even if this isn’t your vibe, scroll instagram, get to know your local art scene

A lot of music I listen to is only available on youtube - Most of the bands were small DIY bands that just made tapes or a 7” that you can’t find anywhere. So I'm thankful for the people that have ripped these to the internet for me and plenty of other people to discover. Bulldoze was a band from NY formed in the early 90’s that pioneered the “beatdown” style blahblahblah. Many have tried (and failed) to create a demo as good as this. Since it’s been available on streaming platforms I listen to it on my commute at least once a week. I love reading the comments from the last couple of generations talking about memories they have of the bands who got stabbed at what show and whatever. Greatest of all time shit for me.(1:53 for what really gets me going)

Everyone has been losing their shit over Seinfeld fits for the last year or whatever, but you know what’s actually good and not beat to death? Some good midwest real life type beat. I rewatched Tommy Boy a month ago (while I was recovering from my COVID allegations) Nylon Parkas over a tie (some good reps in there) and blazer, Military jackets, workwear being used for work, and the stussy hat with the herringbone jacket. This is just how people used to dress. And to think we used to be a real country.

I hand/delicate wash most of my clothes.(esp nice tshirts and oxfords) it prolongs the life of your stuff 10x - never understood people that said it’s “too much” (sounds lazy to me) Sometimes you just need to hit your shirt collars and sleeves after wear or before you throw it in the washing machine. The bar and brush are both small so I can bring them with me when I travel. (Sometimes I'll just get a new bar as part of my travel checklist, it makes my luggage smell good too!) I try to keep one in my car, at the store, office, etc. Just in case of emergencies.
