The Weeknd just released a new album.

It's called 'Beauty Behind The Madness,' and like anything else The Weeknd has ever made, it's an absolute treasure. The music that Abel makes calms the soul and soothes the spirit.

Very good music to write to, as well. Atmospheric with a lot of attention to jazzy beats that carry your mind away with. I highly recommend the album.

The wisdom of Bukowski

“Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Back, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.”

-Charles Bukowski, Women
