I don’t know how Josh found this exactly but it’s one hour of Christian new wave and full of some of the most haunting songs ever. Introduced me to one of my favorite albums rn (“Emotional Tourist” by Steve Scott) along with tons of other singular tunes. It makes me feel like driving around in the dark. I heard it for the first time four years ago and I still listen to it all the time.

ive been obsessing over nts lately. i used to listen mostly just to clairo’s monthly shows (they’re a whole recommendation of their own lol) and maybe a couple other sets here and there but the past month and especially this past week, its what i’ve listened to the most. it’s made me fall in love with music and audio all over again. great way to discover new music and genres and go deeper into whatever your taste are. so refreshing and theres a discord too which is very sweet. support if u can, 50% of the proceeds go to the artists:)
some of my favorites:

my roommate showed me this cool radio show that does a segment "in focus" every week I think. new one drops tomorrow. they choose an artist and go deep dive with really interesting picks and deep cuts. browse the list of artist showcase episodes and pick one you know, or choose someone you don't know! have fun💚

I’m always worried that I’m not reading enough or not reading the right things. Creating a set of laws about how and what I read that has no relationship to my immediate impulses or desires helps me feel like I’m making progress through everything I want to absorb. For the past four years it‘s looked like this:
I’m always reading three books: one novel, one non-fiction book that’s mostly about information I want to learn about, and one collection of short stories or essays.
I read 50 pages of the novel. Then 50 pages of non-fiction. Then 50 pages of novel. Then 50 pages of the collection. Even if I’m really engrossed, I switch after 50 pages.
Maybe this sounds psychotic but it works for me and makes sure a more challenging read doesn’t bog me down.
I also have a system about when I read a book I just bought and when I read a book I’ve had for a long time and when I read a book that’s old and when I read a book that was written right now…. yikes
Anything to keep the anxiety at bay

When I was 22 my gay guy gallery owner boss made me drive around Los Ángeles for hours looking for this candle to light at an opening. He had me buy four of them with my own card and didn’t pay me back for weeks which was unreal.
All annoyances aside - this really is the best smelling candle of all time. The scent is so subtle - wood, resin, honey, tobacco. I only buy it once a year because it’s so expensive, but I truly luxuriate in its scent for the 60 hours it burns.
Candles are one of the things I feel like it’s worth paying the big bucks for - you‘re inhaling it! It’s infusing your living space!
