volume 2
Music: Slow Motion by Matt Champion and Jennie (Figure 4)
The duo we didn’t know we needed - Matt Champion from the American boy band BROCKHAMPTON and Jennie from the Korean-pop supergirl group, BLACKPINK. This is the only song I’ve listened to the last 48 hours. Send help. My 2024 Spotify Wrapped is already staring me right in the eye.
Book: Everything I Know About Love (Figure 6) by Dolly Alderton (2018).
OKAY sorry another Miss Dolly A rec this week! This is not my fault! After gobbling up Good Material earlier this month, I immediately moved onto her memoir (EIKAL). It hits you where it hurts. You will be invigorated, reinvade, reaffirmed, and cured of any illnesses that are currently plaguing you and your family. Don’t believe me? Yeah, okay. That’s fine. Just give this book a whirl, please. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A WOMAN TO ENJOY IT SO DON’T EVEN ASK ME THAT. I’m not yelling I’m just excited for you.
Podcast: Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster (Figure 5)
Welcome to the Dream Restaurant. Each episode is a journey into the guest of honor’s Dream Restaurant^tm, complete with their dream water (still or sparkling), poppadoms or bread, starter, entree, side dish, drink, and dessert. I would fight in James Acaster’s army without question. That man is other-worldly funny. Ed is also cute. Much love to Ed, my diabetic brother in Christ. Must-listen for any foodie.
