"Baldwin is one of my favorite writers and cultural critics. His work always feels both relevant and revelatory. This book-long essay on film and moviegoing is part memoir, part homage to cinema, and also an exploration of the ways corrosive ideas seep into the collective imagination."

Don't You Ever Get Tired (Of Hurting Me) by Bettye Swann

Album Favorite

"Bettye's voice is like an organ that acts as a huge percussive instrument. It feels like you are next to her on a pillow. On [2012's] Half Way Home, I tried that with different songs. It doesn't work for everything, but it's definitely an interesting approach"

"I love the way Curtis Sittenfeld writes. It feels personal and immediate. And in this, her debut novel, she tells the story of a lower middle class Lee Fiora navigating her way through an elite boarding school. Sittenfeld’s observations are razor-edged, dark, and brazenly funny."

"I read a few pages from this Mary Oliver selected compendium of poems spanning more than five decades every single day — often in the morning. It’s what I imagine a bird feels when they hop into a really beautiful birdbath with really clean water in it."

"As someone who has seen every single Tarkovsky film, I can safely say this is his masterpiece. While I never tire of any of his work, Stalker is impossible to overwatch. The images and atmosphere are so intoxicating and enigmatic, it feels like entering a dream."

"My first time watching the series, though I remember my elder sister being obsessed with it. Honestly, it feels very calming and self-loving to listen to a mother and daughter duo discuss coffee and the intricacies of Billy Idol’s pout on his album cover. Simpler times."

An interesting group of stories that are all related, and yet not related, Tales from the Loop does an excellent job of presenting the audience with a beautiful set of stories that are visually compelling, interesting, and unique. Feels like a modern retelling of the Twilight zone.

Not as good as it live
The recordings are nice and funky and everything you'd hoped for from this new and upcoming psych-indie band, but compared to when I accidentally saw them live there is no comparison. The album feels somewhat flat and unenthusiastic to me.

Politically-shifting mindblowing manifesto
Explosive, at times traumatizing and frustrating but ultimately hopeful - Naomi Klein's extensive knowledge and wealth of experience exudes in this mighty manifesto. Her anecdotes are both heartfelt and moving juxtaposed with endless hard-hitting facts, she's a master in her field and an appropriate figure attempting to initiate a global grassroots movement against ecocidal capitalism and right wing populism. This book, unlike her other works, feels much more personal as she states she didn't spend years researching, but it feels very much like a response to growing anger. That being said, it is still well structured and the arguments are coherent. A truly politically-shifting book
