“I'm a big proponent of reaching out to people you admire and saying hey, you do great work. Do that more.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANTE ALLINGTON
“The Internet is cool as hell but so is outside. Go outside. Go sit in a park, or hike a mountain, or even chill at a bar. Just remember to unplug every once in awhile.”
HITS OF NOSTALGIA | A BUNCH OF SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS
These decade playlists provide a nice outlet for discovery and re-discovery. Sure there is enough old faithfuls to fill each mix to the brim, but as I’ve said before, the exciting thing about Spotify is how much new-to-me music from the past there is to explore.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SAM CLARK
“Go outside more. Basically, forego recommendations two through four for a stretch (but bring number one, as it is very good walking-around-outside music) and spend some time out of the house each day.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ AUDIO ANTIHERO
“Single fucking Payer fucking Healthcare. Universal Healthcare. Medicare-for-all. Whatever you call it, I’d really like us to have it.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ TOM JOHNSON
“So yeah, buy a bike. Ride it through the city at night, for an even bigger kick. Oh and eat whatever the hell you want to eat, you're wonderful.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SMALL ALBUMS
“Things I recommend:Root beer floats. Believing in the Loch Ness Monster. Dogs. Going on walks. Drawing. Salt and Vinegar Chips. Super Smash Bros. Ice Cream. Jean Shorts.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANNY BATEMAN (FROG)
“Walk 3-4 extra stops before you get on the train! Think of the things you miss down there.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PIP HALL
“Even though the internet is a marvellous creation and as a teenager I'm almost expected to go on my phone 24/7, I find it so nice not being sucked into a never ending black hole of celebrities, dog filters and Harambe memes.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CHUCK
“I don't even know where to begin. I stammer and stutter like a nervous teenager asking someone to prom when I start recommending this. It makes me weak in the knees. It is brutal and hilarious and heartbreaking and will make you want to be a better person.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ KATIE VON SCHLEICHER
“Also everyone should work on the standup set they'll never do.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ AARON POWELL (FOG LAKE)
“I see so many people and they feel like they're nothing without someone else. Look for peace of mind and love will come easy.”
