Dear Keenan, It’s me, Tristan. I’ve wanted to reply to your thanks and the advice you shared with me, some of that has really stuck with me and will for the rest of my life.I wanted to say thank you for the thank you, but not only the thank you but for everything. You were always there for me and some of the conversations we shared my junior and senior year were some of the most important in my high school career, and I wish I had met you sooner as I probably would’ve figured much more of it before basically hitting rock bottom. I think I’m better now, but it’s still hard to tell if I’m better or if the meds are the only thing keeping me together. I really wanted you to know that you were one of the most important people I met at Heights and

I was wearing my Pinkerton shirt and you just making that small comment mentioning that Pinkerton was better than the Blue Album let me know you were the real deal. Speaking of 90’s music that nobody thinks of nowadays, I just recently discovered American Football (the band/album), and wow this album is good and apparently there is another coming later this year after a seventeen year drought, and I’ll be able to say I was a fan when they only had one album. I’m sure you’ve heard the album, but if you haven 't, you should check it out. I’ve also been obsessed with this jazz/hip-hop trio/quartet called BADBADNOTGOOD that just released their fourth album appropriately named IV. They do some really good instrumental covers of old school rap (Tribe Called Quest, Nas) and even some Joy Division. They’ve got a good range of music and you should give them a listen if that sounds somewhat interesting. Then I’ve discovered some super small(ish) alternate/lo-fi/indie/nobodyknowsaboutthembutmeandthatmakesmecool bands. One that’s somewhat untastefully named Teen Suicide (they’re changing the name I think), recently released the album It’s The Big Joyous Celebration, Let’s Stir The Honeypot that, again has some musical range spanning several genres, this album was a little harsh to get through the …show more content…
I think we were really spoiled by 2014, man was that a good year for cinema. While there haven 't been a ton in the theatres I’ve still been watching a ton of movies. I just went through basically every Wes Anderson film recently, and still have a tough time ranking them. I think I’ve convinced myself that The Grand Budapest Hotel is his best work. From the beautiful set pieces, to the humor, to the cast and soundtrack (but Wes always has great soundtracks). But it’s hard when I look at his films and consider when in his career they came out, I mean his second film was Rushmore and it’s superb, but so is The Royal Tenenbaums, and so is The Life Aquatic, and so is Moonrise Kingdom, etc. What’s your favorite Wes film, and where do you rank them? Have you seen anything good
