Hi!
Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.
Let’s get this week started with some piping hot links:
In this interview with Queen of Couples Counseling, Esther Perel, she gets at how the contemporary proliferation of talk therapy is a good thing, even though it seems we struggle with the distinction between “interiority” and “self-obsession.”
A Nebraska newspaper had their offices raided by local police, with an illegally issued warrant no less. Just another staggering example of how cops are simply armed guards for the worst people. In addition to the newspaper, the fuzz showed up at a 98-year old woman’s house and stole a bunch of her shit. She died shortly after. To serve and protect baby!
As someone with a significant other who seems to thrive on doing really stupid shit, I was interested in this interview with Grimes, former Pitchfork darling and current Elon Musk baby mama. But instead of a peek inside life with a paunchy meglomaniac, she just kind of riffs on stuff like a red-pilled Björk giving a Ted Talk. I honestly can’t stop thinking about it, mainly for quotes like the one below:
What if????!!!!?????!?!?!?!?
Tunes to start the week with:
So much good, new music! Here’s a few easy-rocking Speedy Ortiz singles, the first Noname in five years (plus a fantastic review from the brilliant Alphonse Pierre), and a very pretty Sufjan track.
