Itâs been really fun not being on social media that much recently. Especially when working on new music, Iâve found it super helpful to unplug for long periods of time. As cliche as it is, sometime last year I finally started understanding what people meant by the wave of anxiety and decrease in self worth that hits you when you open an app like instagram. Itâs nice to check in and see what my friends are doing, but Iâve really tried to cut off that feeling of needing to stay constantly âup to dateâ with everything going on all the time. Same goes for news. For the first time since college really iâve started trying to read books again lmao. I know this one seems kind of basic, but for anyone feeling like theyâre needing some encouragement to feel like itâs okay to unplug, go for it.

If youâre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donât! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itâs worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

let me break it downâŚ
Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different.
Moma is like 10 dollars too but if youâre a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers
Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museumâs section is also cute especially if you like the muppets.
Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings
Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different.
Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however đ

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnât exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and itâs even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

Lowkey have learned shitloads from this channel. It took me a while to get used to this guys grating YouTube announcer type voice and dad jokes but now I find it incredibly soothing. I am 100% a sucker for a cheesy youtube history video, museum, anything like that. Weird History is my go-to on tour, before bed, etc. Also they have another channel called Weird History Food which is very informative and entertaining. If i didnât make it as a musician I would totally be producing content like this for a living. It rocks.

Irish hard shoe dancing is one of the most metal, hardcore things I have ever witnessed or attempted to do in my life. The shoes are also called âheavy shoesâ which is fire. The sound is very satisfying to me in an ASMR way. Iâm obsessed with the stoicism that accompanies the dance, specifically the way the arms are held completely straight at your sides. I highly recommend taking an Irish dance class (they have in most cities). It is an insane cardio workout (very sweaty) and extremely enjoyable. I want to see people doing it at my shows.

As a musician, you would think I listen to a lot of music very often, but I actually do not. I find that iâm incredibly sensitive to music, like emotionally sensitive and also very easily distracted by it so itâs difficult for me to have music on in the background because i start listening too closely and thinking about the lyrics, instruments, melodies, etc. too much haha. This album is my most played album since like 2014. Itâs the only thing I can listen to regardless of whatever mood iâm in (especially if i am in a bad mood) and helps me channel the darkness into something good. I guess Electric Wizard could be described as âstoner metal.â All of their music is extremely slow, dark, sludgey, repetitive. The riffs bend in very evil yet very soothing sounding ways that I find quite comforting! Historically, I donât smoke weed but I feel like this music gives me the positive psychosomatic effects of weed without the paranoia. Their album âDopethroneâ also fucks hard and has a sick cover lol.
