This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

“It's been so fun bringing the tradition of pasta making back into my life and bringing friends and friends' kids into the tradition. I find the intricacies of the ritual really beautiful - the volcano well of semolina flour with the eggs at the center, the different settings on the crank, laying the pasta threads out to dry over every chair in the house. And of course, it's so ridiculously delicious.”
“Unplug every once in a while. I have found a lot of good in disconnecting from time to time. The other day, I drove to a park, and I intentionally left my phone in the car. I brought a book and that's it. I mostly didn't read. I just walked, and watched squirrels run around like maniacs while I listened to strangers argue in a language I don't understand. And it was great.”
“In an alternate universe —one where we all worked shorter weeks, everybody was genuinely concerned about climate change, and we all just got along— 'House Of Gold' was the biggest hit of 2010.”
“…which is essentially an unfinished essay on how to unsubscribe from every mailing list you subscribed to when you were 17.”
"If you make art, pay more attention to your emotional/creative milestones and less to your financial ones. I'm never gonna 'make it big,' whatever that means, but I'm gonna get better and better as a songwriter."
“If you want to be the kind of person at the dinner party who has an opinion on whether THIS IS THE WORST ALBUM EVER or not… you gotta put in the work & listen to it first. The whole thing. And then you have to get invited to a dinner party.”
"Go for walks. Eat that cake in the middle of the night. Be kind towards others but mostly be kind to yourself. Use less plastic. Do everything with love, for what is done with love is well done."
“In this modern day life, so often driven by the harshness of striving and grasping, Luluc's generous yielding to time, awareness, longing, and a tender melancholy heart, connects the listener to a state of earthy grace and unfettered simplicity. My best find in a long, long time.”
“I think everyone should sway their hips every morning when they wake up. Especially if they’re often stressed out (or in the moment they are stressed out). Or if they feel very old when they wake up in the morning.”
“I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that this album dropped at the right time for me. It somehow seems strangely familiar and yet different. Oberst and Bridgers work so well together.”
