#CoolShit 04.03.20
Happy Friday!
Wanted to start this email with some gratitude, so give me a moment here š¬
First, thank you for READING my email. I know now more than ever youāre being inundated with⦠wellā¦shit⦠I try to make sure youāre at least seeing the coolest of it. Thank you.
Thank you for LIKING & SHARING, I know it can be a hassle, but my goal has always been to share as much cool shit with as many cool people as possible. Every āheartā you click, or email you forward means someone new gets introduced to #CoolShit. Thank you!
Lastly, thank you for the COFFEE, no joke, I damn near cry whenever I get the āsomeone bought you a coffeeā notification. THANK YOU šš» āšÆ
Okay, now Iāll give you what you came here for.
Iām still trying to find my groove on Fridays so today, Iām going to fill the email full of things(most of which I shared earlier this week) to watch, read, & listen whilst quarantining for another weekend.
Happy weekend - do something cool! See you Monday!
-Shelby
š Things to watch
This short documentary on the genius of ODB
Watched this over the weekend - itās dope. Really insightful into the early Wu-Tang years.

It will only take 11 minutes for you to be a fan of Neighborhood Nip.
Watch this fella find out heās becoming a dad, but only if you want to happy cry.

šThings to listen to
The new Thundercat album, āIt is what it isā
If youāve never heard Mr. Cat, heās funky. Heās jazzy. Heās soulful. Above all, Thundercat is the perfect amount of weird.
Anthony Valadezā āSounds For Plant Loversā series
From Jay Electronica, to mariachi covers of Princes āLetās go crazyā - his shows are easy to vibe out to. Specifically listen to the show linked above, someone got a shout out š¬
NBA.fmās fake NBA broadcasts
Yes I know how dumb this sounds - play-by-play calling an imaginary NBA game. But for a brief second it felt like everything was as it once was. I highly recommend listening in to a game, even if only for a minute.
Levar Burton reading on Twitter
Heās reading for Adults tonight, on Twitter, starting at 6:00PM PST
Cannonball Adderley Quintet, āMercy, Mercy, Mercyā
This track starts with a pretty inspiring monologue about āadversityā - which Iām sure we could all use a little of that today.
š§ Things to read
