kanye's house, unreliable narrators, physical stuff, tao lin in NYC
5 things worth sharing this weekend + what I've been reading/watching/listening
Short one, b/c I’m battling a head cold…onward:
Kanye bought a fancy house on Malibu Beach, totally gutted it, including removing the cabinets, bathrooms, electrical and everything and it’s on the market for $35 million? At The New Yorker.
We’re all unreliable narrators. At CrimeReads
Do we really need more creators? At GQ.
Physical stuff is coming back, of course. Touch stuff! At The Guardian.
I didn’t make it to the Tao Lin readings in NYC, but I enjoyed his recaps of his return to the city. He’s been off the grid a bit (hawaii) for awhile now, so hopefully he keeps writing more on his Substack
Notes on reading/watching/listening
Finished Among The Bros by Max Marshall
consumed this via Kindle and audiobook in like 5 days
Frats in the south are bad! Crime! Drugs! Drugs and crime!
I wasn’t in a southern frat, but I know southern frat boys so this was super interesting.
Re-watching Lost
I’m old enough to have watched it when it first came on
My wife and I are streaming it, one of the few shows we can both agree on
Love this new Johnny Foreigner album
big English power pop with a punk vibe
