I found it romantic, sometimes, editing this project. Consciously though, I don't want straight-a little bent is good. Maybe it links to a deep subconscious straight boy fantasy. I ordered a GT3 RS and it'll keep low miles out here but I guess it's good to have in case of emergency :) Raf Simons once told me it was cliché, my whole car obsession. It's been a year since I moved to London, at the time of writing this, and there's no practical reason to drive in this city. A few years and few daily-drivers later I'm not driving much anymore. I used to ride around in my sinewy crossover SUV, smoke and listen to rough mixes of my old shit before it came out, or whatever someone wanted to play when they hooked up their iPhone to the aux cord. The feeling familiar enhanced, on the 10. Welcomed in by the perennial creatures, imperial palm trees and climbing vines living their lives out just off the shoulder. We drove thru downtown LA headed west, flying on the same freeways I used to run outta gas on. Staring, I was transfixed by all the indicator lights oscillating and throbbing against the wind. On the freeway, leaving Pasadena, we spoke and I looked away, outside, at the wheels and tires of cars doing that optical illusion thing they do where it looks like they’re spinning backwards, which, according to Google, happens because our brains are assuming something completely wrong and showing it to us. The first time I did shrooms, my manager had to come rescue me from Caltech’s ‘Trip Day.’ As I got into her car, I swear to God the aluminum center console in her Porsche truck looked like it was breathing, like the throat of something. It's close to as much time as we spend in our beds, more for some. We live in cars in some cities, commuting across space either for our livelihood, or devouring fossil fuels for joy. How much of my life has happened inside of a car? I wonder if the odds are that I'll die in one. The claustrophobia hits as the seatbelt tightens, preventing me from even leaning forward in my seat. I put myself in her seat then I played it all out in my head. Her eyes seemed clear and calm but not blank, the road behind her seemed the same.
A seatbelt reached across her torso, riding up her neck and a mop of blonde hair stayed swept, for the moment, behind her ears.
The reaction to this stunning version of “Nikes” shows how a delicious appetizer only makes a person even hungrier.'Two years ago I found an image of a kid with her hands covering her face. But that film Spike Jonze made of Ocean’s 2017 tour? Not a peep about it in years. He’s released a few stand-alone songs, like “Chanel,” “Biking” (featuring Jay-Z and Tyler, the Creator), a lovely cover of “Moon River,” “Cayendo,” a nine-minute improvised track on a special edition of his “Blonded Radio” show on Apple Music this past Christmas, and a couple of others, all of which are good and a couple of which are great - particularly 2019’s “DHL.” He’s also had other projects cooking, most prominently his luxury brand Homer. It’s not that Ocean hasn’t been doing anything since the release of “Blonde” in the final summer of the Obama Administration. “I selfishly am ok with a Frank Ocean leak,” wrote CriPPin’ Noir, summing up the feelings of many. The minute-long clip features him singing just the first verses of the song, apparently at a rehearsal and accompanied only by a keyboardist, and it cuts off after the chorus, but it’s gorgeous.įrank Ocean singing "Nikes" without the vocal effects RT for good luck /xDcdw9DCUV It’s gorgeous - and the response online was as much about how long Ocean has made fans wait for new music as the stunning alternate version of the song, which some of us were lucky enough to hear on his handful of live dates in 2017. Hm, probably people belatedly realizing that Ocean, whose Coachella headlining slot was originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed by the pandemic, won’t be playing the festival until 2023 - but there was another, even better reason: A version of him singing “Nikes” - the centerpiece of his 2016 album “Blonde,” which features him singing the song’s heart-rending melody in a voice heavily, frustratingly treated with autotune - without effects had surfaced via Pigeons and Planes. “You proud of me?” she wrote, then followed immediately with the real topic that brought her out of her vacation reverie: “Why is Frank Ocean trending?”

Late Thursday night, a workaholic friend who’d promised to finally take a real vacation texted a series of photos of herself on a sun-kissed beach, enjoying exotic drinks and a tropical sunset.
