Let’s face it: these days, a lot of people do it not because Apple’s latest rectangular revision is genuinely transformative, but because it’s become a cultural trope. Like leaf-watching or trick-or-treating, “Apple picking” is just one of those things the well-to-do do when autumn rolls around in America. I didn’t used to be so jaded by this ritual of conspicuous consumption. For a few years there the general consensus was that the mobile world had plateaued, the days of crazy innovation well behind us. So who cared if people fritted away a part of their Friday waiting for what essentially was just the same phone with a better camera? That’s all most phones were. But, here’s the thing: that’s not where we are anymore. We now live in a world where I can live tweet my afternoon standing in the Apple Store line, with a phone that literally unfolds into a tablet — a device that really has changed the way I use a smartphone. It’s not about Samsung vs Apple; it’s about the future vs the past … and on years like this, it sure feels like Apple is on the light side of that particular see-saw. So when I bought the new iPhone to review it, I decided the best use of its improved cameras would be to film a train trip back up north – and back in time – to the place I lived for ten years; the place I started MrMobile; and the last place I waited in line for an iPhone. I’m Michael Fisher, and this is MrMobile’s iPhone 13 Pro Road Trip Review … to Boston! [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...

Like many of drum & bass's best artists before him, Elliot Garvey, AKA Quartz, got his big break on Metalheadz. The 2018 EP Hall Of Mirrors captured everything that's kept that label a the forefront of the genre for over two decades now: razor-sharp production and mixdowns, a wide survey of drum & bass styles and the kind of quiet, careful innovation inside the template that keeps the genre going. (Check out those bleepy melodies in "Hall Of Mirrors.") Since then he's appeared on another prestigious label, Samurai, and has new work coming out on RuptureLDN, Utopia and System, along with a long-awaited debut album on Metalheadz.

In the late 2000s I was sleeping with all of my friends. This didn’t make me special; we were young in one of the several ways people move to cities like New York in order to be young. We were in general not doing much with our lives and so we did what generation after generation of young people have done in order to combat that particular circumstance: We tried to generate enough sex drama amongst ourselves that we didn’t have to notice that we weren’t doing much of anything, that things were harder than they were promised to be, that we had very little money and that everyone else seemed ...
