![]() ![]() The decision to release so few songs comes as a surprise considering Tyler has been consistent in releasing a new full album every other year since 2009 and has not missed a year since the beginning of his solo career. ![]() The album was released along with a series of music videos with the description, “a collection of songs that didn’t make the original album.” The new songs feature A$AP Rocky, Vince Staples, YG and DJ Drama returning as the narrator. The critically acclaimed album won him his second Grammy for best rap album of the year. The album contains an additional eight tracks to Tyler’s previously released album “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST” from 2021. After the success of IGOR, Tyler took a solo joyride: “Bought another car ’cause I ain’t know how to celebrate.” A chapter-closing gift for fans, The Estate Sale is a lake house afterparty.The ever-changing Tyler, The Creator has released his deluxe album “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale” on March 31. The cover of The Estate Sale depicts Tyler in a similar position-gazing into the distance, suitcases in hand-though he would probably call them valises now. An estate sale insinuates the death of its owner: death of preconceived notions of success, death of ego, death of self-destructive nihilism. When I first heard Tyler associate himself with his Baudelaire persona on Call Me If You Get Lost, I didn’t think of the French poet: I thought about the orphans at the center of Lemony Snicket’s children’s novels A Series of Unfortunate Events. Constantly on the run, they’re never in one place long enough to unpack their suitcases. Twenty seconds into original album track “Massa,” a drum beat cuts Tyler off when he begins to idolize his passport. “Heaven to Me” diverts that incomplete thought with a tender ode to domesticity-date nights, water-gun fights, loved ones in the kitchen, and seeing a piece of yourself in the children you helped to bring into the world. On “Sorry Not Sorry,” he glimpses guilt and helplessness about not leveraging his status for Black liberation: “I can’t save niggas/I’m not Superman, but I could try.” On “What a Day,” he shouts out Black women, especially the ones who raised him. He brings back his love for ’80s synth-funk on “Boyfriend, Girlfriend” and taps into New Orleans bounce and Southern trap across “Dogtooth” and “Stuntman.” A$AP Rocky gushes about spoiling his lady on “Wharf Talk,” while Tyler croons with the angst of his Flower Boy and IGOR eras. The breezy and soulful “What a Day” and “Heaven to Me” bring in a John Legend sample and an unreleased Madlib deep cut to complement the album’s leisurely, jet-setting atmosphere.Īs he adjusts to the altitude, Tyler’s position as a community leader presents itself as a new source of anxiety. The stylistic adventurousness of The Estate Sale offers insight into the sounds that would become Call Me If You Get Lost. ![]() Tyler’s own biting, almost Pusha T-like inflection over the New Boyz-type beat could’ve spawned a dance trend in the early 2010s. Fellow Californian Vince Staples rides into “Stuntman” like he’s behind the wheel of a monster truck: “No, you can’t be my girl, bitch, are you dumb?” If you have beef, he suggests you duel him in Milan-if you can afford the flight, that is. As he’s evolved in his artistry, he’s replaced shock value with boasts whose imagination and precision-“I got a jelly bean, Kelly green Rolls/And the guts off-white like a jalapeño”-are almost outdone by the Goblin-like freneticism of his delivery. In his early years, Tyler could be something of an edgelord, delivering violent lyrics about sexual assault through a mischievous grin. ![]() ![]() ![]() Complete 8-10 repetitions.Ĭommon mistakes: The most common mistakes are rounding the spine, pulling the elbows away from the wall on extension, and shrugging the shoulders as depicted by the red arrows.

When using resistance bands, it is important to remember that form is the main priority, not working to failure. Despite being simple, they are powerful tools that increase load on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in addition to working range of motion. Resistance bands are simple training tools you can take with you anywhere (pack them in your swim bag!). Now that you have progressed through Phases I & II, you are ready to introduce the use of resistance bands and add a challenge to the traditional side plank in Phase III.

If you struggle to sleep on an air mattress, you're not alone – it's actually quite normal for someone to not be able to sleep at all on an air bed.Īir beds are not very supportive, and sleeping on them for more than two nights could cause back pain, aches, and stiffness as you wake up. The truth is, air mattresses aren't designed for long-term use, and probably shouldn't be slept on for longer than a couple of nights. Layering your bed with decorative pillows and sleeping under the softest sheets will guarantee you a cozier feel. Investing in the best bed sheets, comforters, and pillows for you will make all the difference when it comes to being comfy in bed. You should dress your bed as you would a proper one. This will also contribute to helping your air bed feel warmer. To prevent this from distributing your sleep, you can put your air bed against the wall. Since an air bed can move around and is quite lightweight compared to an actual mattress, it can slip around on the floor throughout the night, as you get up or move around. Experts suggest placing it onto a box spring, this way you'll get the height of a regular bed, making it easier to get in and out of. FAQs How can I make my air mattress more comfortable?Īside from adding a mattress topper to your air bed, there are ways you can up comfort levels on your inflatable sleep surface. More ways to stop your mattress topper from moving on the air bed is to simply use some double-sided carpet tape or even a slip-resistant mat that would hold it in place. If this isn't enough and you're finding your mattress topper is slipping off the bed and in turn, keeping up at night, you could try some bed sheet suspenders, like these Amazon best-selling sheet straps from Raytour that are sturdy and strong to keep your topper secure. Then layer a fitted sheet to keep it even more secure. Once you've chosen the right topper, adding one of the best mattress protectors will hold the topper tight to the bed. ![]() Any bigger or smaller and you struggle to keep it in place. The first essential thing to do is ensure your mattress topper is the same size as your air bed. Since air beds arent as solid or heavy as actual mattresses, keeping a topper on can be tricky, especially if it doesn't have straps to secure it. These are my top recommended mattress toppers for air mattresses, tried and tested by the team:Īdding a mattress topper to an air bed is easier said than done. They should also have straps to keep it on the bed as ones without are likely to slip off during the night. A topper made from shredded foam or even filled with feathers will be soft yet supportive enough to improve comfort levels without damage to the air mattress. Thick, memory foam mattress toppers may not be able to stay secure on an air bed due to them being too firm and dense, and instead a thinner cushioning topper should be used. The best mattress toppers for an air bed will be designed with comfort in mind. By adding a mattress topper, the extra cushioning 'can help reduce noise that air mattresses may produce and prevent any sleep disturbances.' The best mattress toppers for air bed You can expect to be woken up during the night, especially if you're sharing with your partner. Filled with air and made of plastic, they rustle and squeak throughout the night. Noise reduction: Air mattresses are almost always noisy. ![]() 'For example, if you find the air mattress too firm once fully inflated, a mattress topper can add softness and provide a targeted cushioning for those who require specific support.' Softness and support: 'A mattress topper can also make an air mattress more comfortable,' explains Theresa. Most mattress toppers are temperature regulating and will retain and dissipate heat as you need it for a cozier sleep. 'A mattress topper can help to insulate the body from the cold surface of the air mattress by acting as a barrier between you and the bed itself.' says Theresa. Despite adding a fitted sheet, it's likely for sleepers to still feel cold during the night when the air cools down too. Temperature regulation: Typically made with plastic, air mattresses can feel too cold to the touch. ![]() ![]() ![]() According to our research and the experts we spoke with, a timer that helps ensure you brush for the right amount of time is the only non-negotiable feature of a quality electric toothbrush. The other key difference between the pricier brushes and the cheapies is that only the former have onboard two-minute timers. Pretty, for a price: the $25 Gleem (at left) and the $45, metal-handled Quip electric toothbrushes Photos: Rozette Rago The $45 metal-handled Quip, in particular, is especially beautiful. By contrast, Quip, Gleem, Sonicare, and Smile Direct Club’s The AA- or AAA-battery–powered brushes are much sleeker. These bulky, brash brushes were already dated-looking when they were first sold, their neon plastic bodies clashing with tasteful bathroom backsplashes worldwide. The AA- or AAA-battery–powered Colgate, Arm & Hammer, and Oral-B brushes found on nearly every drugstore shelf are garish and clunky. Yet there are some key differences between the $25 subscription brushes and the sub-$10 brushes, and not just in price. The takeaway: Brushing with the $25+ Quip and a popular, $6 Colgate brush feels roughly the same. We decided to compare the trendy Quip with three similarly priced competitors (from Gleem, Smile Direct Club, and Philips Sonicare), as well as with three drugstore cheapies (from Arm & Hammer, Colgate, and Oral-B), to find the best of the AA- and AAA-battery–powered bunch. And this brush could make sense for travel, should you wish to leave a bulkier Oral-B or Philips Sonicare (and its charger) at home. Still, lots of people love the Quip, particularly because of its streamlined handle, which makes it feel more like a manual brush to hold and store. (We do, however, think the company’s smaller version is a great choice for kids.) For this and other reasons, we don’t recommend the Quip (that sleek, shiny brush, third from the right, above) as an everyday electric toothbrush for most adults. Compared with the rechargeable electric toothbrushes Wirecutter recommends, the AAA-battery–powered Quip produces much weaker vibrations. ![]() ![]() While no end date has been announced, it’ll likely roll over into the full Halo Infinite launch on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC on 8 December 2021.

![]() ![]() His love for technology began with the Nokias and the Sony Ericsons of the early 2000s, and he hasn’t looked back since. Prasham Parikh is a freelancer at Android Police, and you can catch him writing how-to guides, features, and reviews on smartphones or pretty much anything that has a battery in it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go back to finish the five books that I started but never completed. There’s a lot to like here and I’m surely not looking back at my Kindle. For this reason, I’m bumping up my review rating to an eight. It’s reassuring to see such commitment on the software front from Onyx, especially considering the premium you’re paying for this device over something like the Kindle. Long story short, the new update has made the Nova Air a lot more useful than it was, and that’s commendable. Documents are a lot more legible in this setting, and it’s more comfortable than ever to jot down notes while reading. That means you can now see the original font, font size, and margin settings in these files for a better reading experience.Īnother meaningful addition: you can now open split-screen windows in vertical orientation, which is a lot more practical than the horizontal option we had previously. Apart from cosmetic changes, the V2 engine powering the reader now supports more formats like epub, mobi, word, and html. The built-in NeoReader has also gotten a visual overhaul in the new software, and it looks cleaner than before. Onyx no longer offers cloud backup, so you’ll have to resort to integrated third-party solutions from Dropbox, Evernote, or OneNote. However, there’s one downgrade that’s worth noting. There are a few other tweaks, too, including the ability to add up to five custom brushes and an easier way to insert images. These handwritten notes can now be exported as vector PDFs, ready to be edited on your PC. The Notes app now supports copying and pasting hand-written notes from one notebook to another and it’s possible to even merge two notebooks into one. The app icons have also been updated to look a bit modern, for the lack of a better word. This interface can be accessed with a swipe from the right half of the status bar, whereas notifications reveal themselves with a swipe from the left. It takes up less space than the previous one and allows you to quickly edit the toggles, which wasn’t possible earlier. The first and probably the most noticeable change is the introduction of a revamped notification panel. Unfortunately, it doesn’t bring with it an Android update the Only a few months after its launch, Boox has rolled out a new system update (v3.2) that offers visual tweaks and adds a plethora of features that further refines the experience. However, this device is more a tablet than an e-reader, and that means updates are on the table. The software experience on my 5-year-old Kindle has scarcely changed over the years, and I wasn’t expecting much different from the Onyx Nova Air. There’s the spit view feature too, in case you want to read and jot notes at the same time (or open any two apps) but the display is too small to do productive work. The settings and rendering quality of the built-in reader trump running an app like Kindle on the Boox, but you will have to manage your library of DRM-free books the old-fashioned way. You can use the stylus to scribble over any of these files. The in-build reader supports 17 file formats, including epub, rtf, ppt, pdf, cbz, and it makes file conversion a thing of the past. The in-built reader is feature-rich and there’s probably every format setting that you could tinker with to make reading comfortable on it. Apps is where all pre-installed and third-party applications rest it’s a pity you can’t pin any of these apps on the sidebar.

Given both Gladys’ and the O’Jays’ legendary status, my concert choice was likely easier than the dilemma facing the show’s promoters, who had to decide which of these two should be the opening act for the other.
