St. Vincent - Actor
Judging from the artwork, this record looks precious. Like annoyingly, saccharinely precious. Two steps twee of Belle and Sebastian.
Somehow, it’s not. Somehow, it’s really fucking good. It even rocks (in a refined, mannered, tasteful way).
Looking at the cover makes me feel like I’m going to get a scolding from Mary Poppins; listening to it doesn’t. Nice.

The Botany of Desire - Michael Pollan
This is a super interesting book that discusses the coevolution of human beings and four plants: apples, tulips, cannabis, and potatoes. The basic hypothesis is that, in appealing to human desires (sweetness, beauty, intoxication, food), some plants have found a very effective evolutionary strategy.
