Amen Dunes recommended Experimental Tape 2 by Xander Duell in Music (curated)

"Experimental Tape 2 (Vol. 1) is the purest, most potent of bedroom [production] madness and beauty, but basically no one heard it when it came out. It's like a combo of Bowie, Al Green, late-period Scott Walker, and R&B, but done on GarageBand in a small room with mass amounts of painkillers and Adderall. It’s so fucked and heartfelt and rhythmic and playful. "Emma Baby" is one of the most cosmic melodic climaxes I’ve heard in a very long time."

Movie Favorite

"We will switch gears completely, and I will say the original Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn, which really influenced my style. Just driving up with her trunks of luggage on the back of the car… it was just such a beautiful film. The clothing, I just was like, whoa. The elegance of it, the time period, the black-and-whiteness of it, the cast. It’s just one of those classic films that kind of etched a place in my aesthetics of style and elegance."

Jenny Saville recommended Vincent Van Gogh: The Letters in Books (curated)

"This is a set of six volumes and it’s expensive — but worth it for life. Van Gogh’s letters, along with the letters of Cezanne, are always inspirational to read. His pursuit of reality is thrilling, his lack of confidence, fears, doubts, excitement, his passion for nature and intensity when he talks about color, and the future of art drive you and help you accept your follies as an artist. And he did it all in such a short period of time."
