Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Sabrina Fuentes to share a taste of her taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Sabrina Fuentes is the lead singer and bassist of Pretty Sick, a New York City-rooted, now London-based band. I’ve rambled a few times on Perfectly Imperfect about how the cultural return of rock music is on the horizon and Pretty Sick’s latest single “Human Condition” is proof it’ll be great. The song comes with a surreal video directed by Frank Lebon and it channels everything I love about the fun punchiness of 90s bands like The Breeders while bringing something new to the table. Their new record, Makes Me Sick Makes Me Smile, comes out in September and I can’t wait to hear it. Sabrina rules and lucky for us, she’s here to share a taste of her taste.

🇬🇧🎶 south london music scene

I moved to london like 4 years ago now and as a native new yorker it was not at all an easy transition but as a musician it was definitely one of the best decisions ive ever made. i love nyc but lets face it, its not really as much of a music town as we would love it to be (but big props to those trying to make it one 💪) for those of you looking to visit london here are my recommendations for some good nights out: 

wanna shake ass? see if you can catch a surssup dj set

wanna mosh? look out for an elusive mitsibushi suicide gig (no ig. but check my ig story cus ill probably share the flyer)

wanna scream your heart out? scream along with experimental polish duo fc malina

hot goth seeking other hot goths? attend a vaermina party

fancy some jazz? go catch a set by beautiful crooner feeo

looking for some bittersweet indie pop? look no further than viji

and if your not particular about the genre but want to see good music any night of the week make sure to hit the windmill in brixton <3

🦹🏻‍♀️ NYX

i grew up reading this comic and recently reread it it rocked. this comic by joe quesada and joshua middleton, which was tragically discontinued, follows the lives of young mutants who reside on the lower east side. i wont spoil it but i will say that they do molly and work as dominatrixes. i think marvel should let harmony korine direct a movie of this series and cast me as x23.

🧸🪁🪀 joy street by suzanne pitt

i saw this short film for the first time in tokyo in an experimental noise themed bar called bar nightingale in golden gai around late 2018 or early 2019. it made me cry into my suntory so i immediately bought a dvd of it and all of pitt’s other works online. its about a depressed woman whose childhood toys come to life and desperately try to save her. it took pitt four years to complete and was drawn in hotel rooms in the jungles of mexico and across the us. while you’re at it watch all her other films as well, i absolutely adore her. 

👊🥋 krav maga

my new hobby/obsession. the world didn't want a version of me that's capable of gouging a man's eyes out with my bare hands but it makes me feel powerful and sexy. plus its good preparation for doing stunts in my future role in harmony korines xmen. 

🍸 mad men

obvious classic, i’m on the 3rd rewatch. great watch for lovers of alcohol, cigarettes, and midtown. 

🪸🦤 exotic pet instagram accounts

doesn’t matter if its a capybara, an octopus, a prairie dog, a pigeon, a skink, fancy bugs, or anything else, i will engage with literally any and every piece of content regarding an exotic pet. i also like guinea pigs. follow the hashtag rodent on ig

🤍💊 supplements and bionootropics 

i’m addicted. ive actually overdosed on vitamins (yes, really)  and i still take them hehe. i love that theres a seemly endless list of them and their uses. feel like ripping all ur skin off? take an l-theanine or a magnesium glycinate. feel like your mental elasticity is that of a threadbare trampoline holding up an elephant? take some 5 htp and get some sleep. i love a cure all that doesnt involve changing your behavior or bad habits, dont you? and if you party as hard as i do make sure you’re popping one milk thistle daily.
