“I think everyone should take some time every day to do nothing. Just like sit and stare at a wall or close your eyes and just exist for a bit.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
Fandcamp: Singing Saw
“Not a track that I'd skip on this album. Very good stuff.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ GOOD DOG NIGEL
“I think everyone should drink more water, walk more, pet a dog, and use your phone less.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MARA CONNOR
“I try to always bring my own reusable utensils and grocery bag and skip the straw when ordering a drink.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ GERMAN ERROR MESSAGE
“Start doing things you are not naturally good or talented at but have always wanted to do. Allow yourself to do the thing badly without any self judgement and repeat when you feel up to it.”
Fandcamp: Putting On Airs
“Picture yourself soaking in a warm tub on a porch in summer at dusk, sipping red wine, with a big old dog snoozing close by, and everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. That’s what this album feels like.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LUKE DE-SCISCIO
“Nothing makes the outside World so obviously ineffective and inconsequential or more rapidly renders ideas of separation delusional as having the courage to really look into someone else’s eyes. So my recommendation, amongst the pantheon of ‘anything’, has to be eye contact.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ TEMPERTWIG
“I think creating stuff is always pretty rewarding, be it a song or some writing or anything. I need to do more these days to be honest.”
Fandcamp: Lie Down In The Light
“Only someone who's seen his share of darkness could so convincingly capture the light on the other end.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ZINNIA
“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.”
Fandcamp: Such Things
“Holds me in its warm embrace and never lets go.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ GOOD COFFEE
"Just be nice to people and use less technology"
