FYI, the artist formerly known as Bonzai is now going by Cosha, the phonetic pronunciation of her given name. And on her new album, “R.I.P Bonzai,” she says she’s baring her true self to stand by her work, rather than hiding behind a moniker. And the album is good. Start with “Do You Wanna Dance,” where she takes all the annoying tropes of electronic music (the insidious beat, those engineered flutes) and makes them not only weird but also delicately enjoyable. We’ll take it.

Straight from Refinery29, I bring you, “Plant Ladies are the New Cat Ladies,” a statement if I ever saw one.

A cute little growhouse to give your plants light from the depths of your windowless apartment. Way less intensive than a cat.
