WHAT TO SEE:

• Damien Rice is coming to the Academy of Music on Wednesday, the day after, April 8th. We vote this concert as the most ideal for a first date—if you like your dates bawling on your shoulders. And want to take us as your dates. Please?

WHAT TO LISTEN TO:

• What For, Toro y Moi’s newest album is now available for streaming. Did you read that last sentence? Get on that shit ASAP. Some jazz and some electric guitar. You’ll be the least miserable person in Van Prison with this new soundtrack.

• Sufjan Stevens is back with a heartbreaking album Carrie & Lowell, named after Stevens’ mother and stepfather, will remind you of when you cried yourself to sleep after watching his soundtrack for The OC. The album just came out and deserves a listen.

WHAT TO BRING UP IN CONVERSATION:

• Remember The Go! Team from years ago? Well, they haven’t released an album since you were a senior in high school. In anticipation for their newest album, they’ve been posting cool af music videos. The most recent one Reason Left to Destroy is hella creepy and appropriate if you want a late–night scare.

• Zayn Malik left something called One Direction. Get over yourself—you go to college now.
