Alvvays

My favorite band since 2018. It's fuzzy, nostalgic and can feel like both a sunny day and a storm.

Imaginal Disk

(and Mag Bay in general) LOVE the aesthetic. I've listened to it like a 1000 times just this year.

The Beatles

But when they're at their most whim­sical.
Fav Album: Sgt. Peppers
Fav song: It depends.

Jordana's Jordanaland album cover

Jordana

Possibly my top artist of 2025. Each of her albums it's a different vibe but they are feel so her.

Clairo's Charm

It changed me. The type of music where you listen to a particular section and are like "damn".

La Onda de Elia y Elizabeth album cover

Elia Y Elizabeth

Teenage sister duo from the 70s Colombia. It's like if Plaza Sésamo had the instrumentals of The Doors.

The Sundays' Reading Writing and Arithmetic album cover

The Sundays

Like the soundtrack to the perfect (anti)romcom. Sad, happy, angry, hopeless, hopeful at the same time.

Sidney Gish's No Dogs allowed album cover

Sidney Gish

I've never felt so rela­ted to an artist. She used the word 'therefore' in a song. Who the fuck does that???

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album cover

Rumours

Another no skip album. I give it a listen at least once every 3 months.

Tops I feel Alive Album Cover

Tops

Kinda like if Fleetwood Mac was originally inspired by Fleetwood Mac, but also so much more.

Movies

  • Pretentious and cheesy romantic/anti-romantic comedy-dramas
  • Coming of age (of any age, not only teenagers)
  • Road movies
  • Horror movies when it's October (specially body horror or monsters)

And sometimes I do deepdives on a specific type of movie. Last was Westerns.

Lady Bird

I don't even know why I love this movie so much

Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind movie poster

Eternal Sunshine

I love the use of dream-like editting and memories to tell a story about love. Also, this scene always gets me.

Lars and the Real Girl Movie Poster

Lars and the Real Girl

It might be the best movie about love that there is. No spoilers

Chungking Express Movie Poster

Chungking Express

Great characters in an unmachtable atmosphere. I wanna start voiceover-ing my life like that

Y Tu Mamá También Movie Poster

Y Tu Mamá También

Bisexual-ass movie with the best narrator in history while, portraying perfectly the feel of a LATAM roadtrip

Virus Tropical Movie Poster

Virus Tropical

Haven't seen it in years, but I bet it's still as charming

Lost In Translation Movie Poster

Sofia Coppola

No one combines images and music to generate new feelings like she does. Bet she does killer playlists.

Mike Mills

The fake-documentary montages always destroy me emotionally. Such an efective style

The Daarjeling Limited Movie Poster

Wes Anderson

I just love the dialog and the aesthetic and the vibes in general

Videogames

Favorite genres: I'm open to play anything anything with an entertaining gameplay or an engaging story. But I usually stick to singleplayer, action, rpg, open-world or platformers.

Night In The Woods Cover

Night in The Woods

A game purely based on the vibes of being 20 and lost. Basically small town unemployment simulator.

Crosscode Cover

Crosscode

It's the perfection of the 2D Zelda formula and with a great story and lovable characters.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Cover

Red Dead Redemption 2

I love the way it makes you connect with the characters like no other medium can. Also I love cowboys.

Gotta be the most addictive Roguelite. I love the way the story progresses little by a little and the characters.

Elden Ring Cover

The Souls games

I love the dark fantasy ambientation and the thrill of the difficult gameplay.

Outer Wilds Cover

Outer Wilds

Undescribable one in a life time expierence. And apart from that, exploring Space it's just so fun to do!

Subnautica Cover

Subnautica

It's great, but the last part of the game where you keep getting deeper and deeper?? Lifechanging

Zelda Breath of the Wild Cover

Breath of the Wild

Best open world exploration when you play it for the first time. I spent 2 months playing it daily.

Misc

TV Series

Favorite genre: Interesting characters doing boring daily things. Or boring characters doing interesting things? OR boring characters doing boring things but told in a interesting way.

 The Bear Cover

The Bear

I just love the way it uses montages and how it makes me feel things for these characters so intensely

 Atlanta Cover

Atlanta

It's got this unique urban magical realism thing going on. I could watch them just talk for like 3 more seasons.

 Smiling Friends Cover

Smiling Friends

Best adult animation right now. It's just so fresh and ridiculous.

Books and comics

I don't read half as much as I like to, so here are some books that I read in the last year, and my two all time favorite graphic novels.

Favorite genre: I tend to read whatever catches my attention. And that tends to be mostly classics because that's what you hear more about. I think I haven't found my specific favorite type of book yet.

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Live Cover

Scott Pilgrim

Found it when I was 14, and everytime I read it again, I have a different perpective. it's grown with me.

 Little Women Book Cover

Little Women

The kind of book that you read a little every week and it accompanies you for a period of your life.

 Kill Six Billion Demons Cover

Kill Six Billion Demons

An stupidly dense, complex and maximalistic webcomic influenced by Eastern Tradition
