• okgiorgio: killer sound, great vibe alignment, plus he really seems like a super nice dude. I just pre-ordered his vinyl; I'm super sad I missed his live performance in Florence, but I'll try to catch up soon.

  • Poetry Unbound: I fucking love Pádraig, the poems he chooses, his thoughts, his soothing voice, and the music selection. A real gem; I'm so grateful I found him.

  • iako and facciadinuvola: another two super vibing guys. Light like air, with the right amount of silliness. Funny, I ditched Italian music for about 15 years, and now I'm pretty much only listening to Italian artists.

  • Brianna Wiest: I'm not sure why Brianna's books catch my attention so much. After all, they're self-help books like a lot of others. But there's something in her writing that always catches me off guard, breaking the barrier of distrust. Right now I'm on The Pivot Year, the previous one was 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think. Reading one to two pages a day always give me something to think about in a different perspective.

  • Drawing: there's something healing about spending time obsessing over details, starting with something bad, and slowly turning it into something I feel proud of. Really similar feelings to what I feel when programming. Nice to have found out another area where I can feel the same.

  • Intermezzo: Sally Rooney is an incredible writer. She really can put into words impossibly complex things like inner worlds and human connections, at the point of making them insufferably real.

  • Doing nothing: I'm slowly realizing how much time I spend on things, in the desperate hope to fill holes that I can only fill with silence and hopeful waiting.
