Happy Phoebe Bridgers day to all who celebrate. I listened to the album today whilst driving solo down Irish country lanes and when ‘Bobby’ came on it felt like I lifted off my seat - I think I’ll remember that moment forever…

There are Rich People, and then there are Cool Rich People, and rarely the twain doth meet — especially on vacation, but even more especially during that most sacred of vacation months, August. Holidaying is complicated for the Cool Rich set because it demands being in places that are not in danger of being polluted by Ordinary Rich People who cause aesthetic alarm by doing things like wearing diamond bracelet stacks while paddling in the ocean, swanning about on mega-yachts that are custom-painted matt black, or arriving in heels for lunch at the beach. The solution is to vacation in impossible-to-get-to spots that are too mountainous to land a jet, too windy to helicopter into and whose coves are so tiny and shallow that they can’t possibly accommodate a tech titan’s ugly boat.
