Hey Young World,
This is the new edition of 1520’s Record Report, our series of monthly articles in which we recommend things we’re currently into.
We’ve picked the name Record Report in honor of Hip Hop magazine The Source, which’s album review section went under that name and, when we were growing up, told us what was worth copping and what wasn’t. In our own small way, we hope to do the same.
Natsuo Kirino - Swallows (Novel)
Swallows is a sharp, unsettling - but also funny - novel about money, power, and survival. When a struggling woman agrees to become a surrogate for a wealthy couple, control and autonomy start to blur.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show (TV Series)
The Mary Tyler Moore Show is a groundbreaking sitcom from the 1970s, about a single woman building a life in a Minneapolis newsroom. It blends workplace chaos with everyday moments. The original 70s set is killer too.
Bandsplain - The Music Of Skateboard Video’s (Podcast Episode)
In this episode of Bandsplain, host Yasi sits down with skater and Sci-Fi Fantasy founder Jerry Hsu to unpack the role of music in skate videos, from DIY ’80s tapes to today’s more cinematic edits. They are reflecting on how skate culture and music have always shaped each other, and how a lot of us discovered both at the same time.
One Love,
Marius
