City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles
Required reading for anyone living and creating in Los Angeles.
Kim Jung Mi
I came across this album in 2019 and have not stopped listening to it. Dreamy, precious psychedlia from South Korea’s lone wolf rock producer Shin Joong-hyun. His solo albums—which include alternate or original versions of songs on NOW—are equally delightful, but Kim Jung Mi’s vocals swirl the sound into other realms. An album for all moods and seasons and reasons and no reason at all. Read more on the sociopolitical and cultural climate of making rock n roll post-Korean War HERE.

Natural American Spirit
For Twin Peaks day I want to shout out my own Black Lodge habit. I’ll someday transmute my garmonbozia and merge with the big Major Briggs in the sky. Meanwhile… Gotta light?
