If you’re still in a post-Thanksgiving malaise, we discovered some cool stuff to make your Monday brighter. Here’s what our Express staff writers are currently obsessed with:
Music
The best of the Record Store Day Black Friday releases is probably the Asobi Seksu/ Boris split 7″. The bands — the former a delightful NY shoegaze outfit, the latter a kick-ass Japanese sludge/drone/experimental group — cover each other with the tracks “Neu Years” and “Farewell.” Each reimagining has its own distinct flavor, but both remain faithful to the stubborn beauty and energy of the original. Fun Fact: Boris took its name from a song by Melvins, who, by the way, are signed to Emeryville’s own Alternative Tentacles record label. — Lenika Cruz

Can’t stop listening to this YouTube mashup of LCD Soundsystem and Miles Davis. — Ellen Cushing
