Small and tall

Boston
I was in Beantown from Friday to Monday for a wedding. Saw new and old friends, did a little slowdancing, got sauced at the Enormous Room and Spire, rode the T all over the place, bought a hoodie from H&M for the cold and just generally had a great time. Thanks Meg, Jenny, Louis, Avi, Jess!

Music
The Fucking Ocean’s EP is mixed!!!!
Tom Vek! Tom Vek!! I’m basically this dude’s one-man street team in LA and have been listening to the record non-stop.
Black Lipstick.
Sam Prekop: I like the new one in the sense that I wouldn’t actually put it on and listen to it but if I walked into a room and was like “what’s this” and son is like “the new Sam Prekop” I’d be like huh, cool.
And the Notwist/Themselves folk/hiphop album is excellent, too.

Television
Veronica Mars: Picked up for a second season!
That Jetta ad: The one where the two kids get yelled at for listening to loud music and then buy a house? True 2005 hipster fantasy; VW totally nailed it.

Cars
The Maserati Quattroponte. How is it this car exists and people are still buying top-end Jags?
