CULTURE TO CONSUME
Listen to this: “Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt“
Moby’s new album release is just as emo as the title makes it sound. Reminiscent of 1998’s “Mezzanine” by Massive Attack, this slow synth pop is ominous and sinister and lovely. With just enough cowbell.
Watch this: “I Love Dick“
No, silly. It’s on Amazon Prime, not PornHub. It’s about a sexually frustrated woman, played to awkward perfection by Kathryn Hahn. The object of her affections? Dick, played by none other than Kevin Bacon. With eight half-hour episodes, this is easily binge-able in an evening, and by the end you, too, will love Dick.
Eat this: Trader Joe’s Scandinavian Swimmers
Trader Joe’s made knock-off Swedish Fish that are better than the real thing. They come in lobster (red), dolphin (blue), fishy (orange) and seahorse (yellow). They’re chewy, kinda gross and totally delicious, and you should probably pick some up the next time you go grocery shopping.
