End of the week, lets cry together

week end updates

This week on the podcast (Blue Eyes Crying By The Chips, ICMYI) I spoke to one of my favourite people, a brilliant and beautiful writer: Dani Janae!

dani and I spoke about learning to accept our emotions, how sobriety factors into these feelings and the way we process emotions and so much more! You can listen, as always, in all your favourite pod places, such as

and

The song we talked about is one that I didn’t know before dani suggested it to me, “Love Ballad” by L.T.D, (L.T.D for Love, Togetherness, and Devotion). The eternal gift of the world is the ability to always learn about something new that we will love forever and this song is that for me now.

Also, I love that the top comment on the YouTube video I’ll clip below is “This song makes me glad my wife and I of 25 years are still in love! What a blessing” as dani and I talk about in the episode, this song feels like the sound of what you wanted love to feel like when you’re young.

In the episode, dani and I talk about two pieces that she wrote about times she cried to The National and Death Cab for Cutie, and you can read both of those pieces below

Also hey, read this lovely piece in Xtra that dani wrote about MUNA: A Love Letter to MUNA’s Sapphic joy!

Also this week, in my ongoing column at Paste Magazine about my relationship to sobriety and music, I wrote about the tattoo I got the day I quit drinking and The Mountain Goats, you can read that HERE

Okay, see you next week, love you bye
