Weird album art merits a listen, right? The cover for “Sweet Things” feels v Superorganism, but what you get when you hit play is mellow jazz-pop. It’s got a sweet little melody and a dependable set of lyrics, a stark departure from Mocky’s 2003 hit by almost the same name (“Sweet Music“). If you need something weirder, scroll through the earlier eras of Mocky’s catalog– there’s some funky electro-hip-hop in there that’s worth exploring, if only to remind yourself how, with time, people change.

It’s not a great time for high-end real estate. In fact, there are so many vacant luxury apartments in New York right now that entire startup companies have sprung up to program them with boutique fitness classes. Got to fill that market hole where you have it, right? And since mortgage rates are rising and there could be a tax hike soon, it seems like this particular hole may be with us for quite some time. So, apartment yoga it is– but only for the people who already live in the buildings with all the unoccupied units. hOM (yes!), the company programming the empty spaces, thinks of itself as a “community-building” resource within each building, working with property management to add value (read: pilates) to the high-end residences. So if you thought this was your way into casual apartment snooping, think again– you’ll just have to fake your way through open houses like the rest of us.

Meanwhile in Japan, there’s a ton of vacant non-luxury real estate, for the simple reason that their aging population is dying and there’s no one new to occupy the space. So instead of trying to monetize the inventory (again, small population, light demand), the government is just giving houses away. New Yorkers, kinda seems like you’ve chosen the wrong place, doesn’t it?
