Took a quick trip to Casa Loma, because why not??

Liberty Village isn't so bad.

A friend with weed is better...

Looking at Andy Warhol's wig, as you do.

Light reading.

Just picked up Hideous Bastard by Oliver Sim on vinyl and I couldn’t be happier. One of my absolute favorites from 2022.

Kraftwerk brought their Multimedia Tour to Massey Hall last night and it was mind-blowing.

I got to see some of Lil Kim's most iconic wigs on display today, so there's that.

Memories of San Francisco 🖤

Stopped by Bather and now I’m ready to surf... even though my coordination is a joke and my athleticism is questionable. 🏄‍♀️🌊

Had a quick chat with Alan Frew of Glass Tiger today! That was a ton of fun.

Been going down a bit of a Chic rabbit hole. Stuck on their 1980 album Real People. Post-disco perfection.

Squabble Up is the one. The Debbie Deb sample is genius. open.spotify.com/track/0nj9Bq...

"While many are aware of Jones’ musical accomplishments, including his iconic work with Count Basie, Frank Sinatra and of course Michael Jackson, it is perhaps easy to overlook Jones’ contribution to film and television." www.levelman.com/how-music-gi...

Are we literally all on Zoloft right now?

Sinéad O'Connor's "Black Boys on Mopeds" always stops me dead in my tracks.

Maria Uzor is the truth. open.spotify.com/track/6wjJvA...

It feels appropriate to give this a spin today.

Happy Birthday, Bowie 🖤 Artist: Jimmy Chiale

Latest vinyl pick-up: José Louis and the Paradox of Love. I was so crazy about this Pierre Kwenders album, I had to pick it up on vinyl. It's rooted in electronic music but pulls from so many other sounds and genres, including those of Kwenders' Congolese heritage.

One year ago this week, seeing Dora Jar play a packed show at The Drake Underground.

The sculptural hat Keith Haring painted for Grace Jones and the pink leather outfit Madonna wore for Haring's birthday party at Paradise Garage in 1984 were both on display in the Keith Haring: Art Is For Everybody exhibition.
