Adam Green recommended Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon by Devendra Banhart in Music (curated)

"This is almost Devendra's Exile On Main Street. There's gospel singers on the song 'Saved', there's a song called 'Shabop Shalom' which is a satirical bar mitzvah song that he performs like Elvis. It has an epic jaw-dropping song called 'Seahorse' which alternates between psychedelic parts and jazz parts, a fuzzy roving ballad called 'So Long, Old Bean'. There's so much on it and I love that. Devendra was my neighbour in Brooklyn many years ago, and it was cool watching him become a superhero version of himself. He had that kind of bravery before almost anyone I knew, to embody their personal expression in this world. Devendra is a next-level master at combining musical, visual, and poetic aesthetics. For me he is a personal hero, his work is a benchmark of how much of your brain you can get out there it. We were born a few days apart, so we are really connected as peers."

Breath of fresh air

This app has helped motivate me to read a lot more via the 'reading challenge' feature which I like to take part in each year and compete with my previous personal reading goals. I am also reminded to read by the optional push notification/emails which I have selected. Love that you can select your edition to keep track of your reading progress in a way that's personal to you and create and keep lists catered to your reading taste. I like to discover new books on there along with keeping track of what I've read before and what I'm currently making my way through. Very good also to use as a wishlist for others to know which books to purchase for you as a gift. Would highly recommend to readers and non-readers alike, who knows, something might take your fancy or your competetive streak may take over.
