Tuesday snoozeday has arrived, and a really good giveaway feels medically necessary. Today’s comes personally vetted after my best friend and I spent an entire Spotify Jam silently queuing their songs back to back. No discussion, no skipping, just a very clear mutual understanding.

Which made it extra painful to remember neither of us will be here for this: NYC’s own Laundry Day is headlining Brooklyn Steel for Halloweekend. Enter to win tickets and please… go for us. 🙏
