Did everyone else have a weird week or was it just me? If I made the intros to these newsletters’ anecdotes about my life, would you be mad? Like a Food Network recipe type beat.
Well, this week has been tumultuous romantically because I realized everyone is in love with me. If you’re one of those people, comment, like, and subscribe below.
Also I started an AMP live show with The FADER last week and there were so many technical issues I had a 2-hour long panic attack after, so that was also fun. I hope you caught the rescheduled show yesterday or else I’ll cry and you should unsubscribe right now. Or maybe upgrade to a paid subscription to make it up for me if you even give a shit or damn about me!
ANYWAY… this week includes a lot of self-promo, dance parties, lots more hip-hop, and a book reading??? I told you I had no idea what I was going to include in these.

Malmo’s DJ Seinfeld is kicking off his Public Records mini-residency with Brooklyn-based Lauren Ritter. The two played together in the club last May on a Wednesday and it was one of my favorite shows. The drinks are good (but expensive) and I wouldn’t ever recommend coming here on the weekend, so this is perfect.
