Hi Karly!
Over the past couple of years you have become one of my favorite artists ever (saw you play Jake's show at brooklyn steel the other day making you one of my most seen musicians now) So so so grateful for your work !!
I'm moving into a new apartment in a couple of weeks so I've been thinking a lot about what I can do to make my new place feel like my own.
For you, what are your absolute must-haves? what kind of beer do you keep stocked in the fridge? coming back from tour what kind of things are you happy to see when you get home?
rock on >:D
A: You asked me this a really long time ago, but it got lost down in the depths of my email lol. Maybe ur already settled in by now but Iโm gonna answer anywayz
My main must have is to have shit up on the wallsโฆ. I do that as soon as all my furniture is moved in. That is immediately what makes ur house feel homey. People thought I had been living in my house for like a years when I has only moved in like a month previous and I think that mostly has to do with stuff thats hung upโฆ I think because a lot of people put off doing that specific thing.
IMO you dont need a frame for everything also, I just tape shit to the wall a lot of the time
I think rugs are also crucial if you got wood/non carpeted floors. Itโll really tie the room together ;)
Getting the necessary shit to play music and watch movies helps.
My fridge stays embarrassingly barren most of the timeโฆ I have to clear it out so often when I go out on tour so itโs a force of habit. I usually make one huge vat of soup or some type of salad/rice dish and just eat it for literally every meal until its gone and then I do it again.
I donโt keep beer in my fridge cause I try not to drink when Iโm not on tourโฆ but I do have some liquers on top of my fridge (I love fernet and nonino and averna and cynar they are my weakness) I usually only drink them on special occasions though.
When I come back from tour Iโm excited to see literally everything in my house (minus the dust) but especially my cat Girl Girl <3
