A third album release by the talented Meg Duffy, former New Yorker and current Californian musician, the project Fun House is described by Wayne as being their most adventurous record yet. The album strikes a perfect balance of emotions, coupled with a cocktail of melodies that eschew any specific genre to depict the many dualities of life. Fun House is available on Spotify.

Starring Jane Alexander, Tina Fey, Anne Hathaway and more, Amazon Prime’s series Modern Love is a perfect blend of romantic comedy and drama that explores modern-day love in all of it’s complex and beautiful forms. Each episode reels audiences in by bringing to life unique stories based on the Modern Love column of the New York Times newspaper and takes an emotional and wonderful look into all of the ways individuals fall in and out of love.
