Hugh at Turn and Work is officially my hype man. You're hired. :) Thank you, brother. For publishing me and for promoting the bejeezus out of me. Elmore Leonard was my first love -- reading Stick in juvenile hall is what made me want to become a writer -- so the comparison means a lot to me. #turnandwork @turnandwork #fiction
@KevinLightRoth Thanks for trusting me with it!
I've been a lifelong Leonard fan too. I watched Out of Sight in high school and that sent me to his books. The best to ever do it.

Sloane Crosley's grief memoir is striking and memorable. She's an incredibly gifted writer dealing with the biggest of themes.

"Joel Roberts” by @Trumansinclairr is already a classic to me. His upcoming album American Recordings might be one of the first great records of 2025.

I've read and loved a bunch of stories by @emilyrinkema and didn't realize it until last week. Turns out I'm a big fan.
I've collected links to a bunch of my favourites here:

Kloyd's Høurglass EP is atmospheric and moody electronic music - four tracks with enough range to spawn three remix releases. It's excellent stuff.

For the Beastie Boys' 2006 concert film "Awesome, I Fuckin' Shot that", they gave 50 audience members 8mm cameras and the only instruction: 'keep rolling'.
It's so good, and you can't buy or rent it anywhere. But you can watch the thing in full here:

Nadia Garofalo’s sick-and-tired vocal and Ben Shillabeer’s post-punk instrumentals make Heavy Feelings' Anatomy EP dark, gloomy and blisteringly good.

A building suddenly collapses in Harlem in 2008. A man is found in the rubble, alive, 36 hours later.
Richard Price's Lazarus Man is rich and compelling, but if you’re looking for another Lush Life, this might not be it.
