Life is complicated and busy. Did you notice? Keeping up with the music, movies and books that fed your youthful imagination and conversations is harder than ever, but even more important. Here's the good news: there's never been more great new stuff. The challenge is to find it.

So here are my highly opinionated views on sounds, sights and words that will help you keep it fresh and real, and links to the veins where the richest motherlodes can be found.

Feed your head.

Powerbrokers in the House


Bob Moses, Days Gone By

I think I would love any Brooklyn duo who name themselves after New York's great, but deeply flawed, master builder.  But these guys actually deliver the goods with a smooth take on deep house and electro-pop that is the perfect sound for changing seasons.

For me it recalls Rhye's staggeringly beautiful Woman from 2013. Like that disc, Days Gone By has a warmth and humanity perfectly communicated by its album cover: these are love songs.

"Too Much Is Never Enough" is my favorite cut.  On headphones, this is the stuff of daydreams; playing through your house, you're in clubland.


Last one in McCarren Pool is a rotten egg.
