I listened to EKKSTACY by EKKSTACY. šµ
At first, it made me miss Craft Spells. (Whatever happened to Craft Spells btw?) Then I wanted to be listening to BLACKSTARKIDS, or the new Toro album, or Iām not sure what else.
But by the halfway point I had finally accepted this for what it was and not what I expected or wanted it to be, and I realized it was pretty nice.

I listened to Hole Erth by Toro y Moi. šµ
Toro y Moi’s music is just endlessly listenable to me, almost no matter what does, though it often takes me a minute to come around to whatever his latest flavor is. This album is no exception.

Reading Log: All Fours

[Last Updated: 2026.03.08]
I read All Fours by Miranda July. š
All fours is a hell of a book. Hilarious, ridiculous, not infrequently gross and also not infrequently profound. Feels like it was probably a lot fun and freedom to write this way, but with a huge amount of thought and work under the surface.

I read The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown again. š
Forgot what a smart follow up this is; it builds so well on the first book while exploring so many more ideas.

I listened to GIZMO by Tanukichan. šµ
I had to scroll back through my added albums to last year to find this again because I couldn’t remember this artist or album name. I only remembered the crunchy fuzzy 90s-altrock/shoegazish vibe and that Toro y Moi produced it and that it came out last year and that it had a dog and barfy slimy green and magenta letters on the cover.
