How LA Is Becoming the Next Mecca of Golf
To say that golf is big in Los Angeles isn't much of a news flash. The city is home to prestigious clubs like Riviera Country Club, where the Genesis Invitational has been staged since 1926, and LA Country Club, where the US Open will be held this year. Everyone has cars, making access to golf courses easier compared to somewhere like NYC, and it's more or less warm year round. All of that is quite easy to understand.But there's something else happening in this city known for its fashion, music, art and entertainment. To call oneself a golfer in LA is to identify with that cultured lifestyle rather than to adhere to the traditional archetype of the golfer who plays at all the nicest courses. It's a lifestyle that prioritizes enjoyment over performance, inclusion over exclusion and expressi...

He thanks his high school’s strong technology department for exposing him to all these various mediums — and with his s...

The Cosmic Success of 88rising
Eight years ago, Sean Miyashiro was sitting in his car in a parking garage in the Bronx, ideating his next venture. In 2015, Miyashiro — a San Jose native of Japanese and Korean descent who was then employed by Vice — had never worked for a record label, let alone run one. But then again, 88rising wasn’t born out of practicality. Miyashiro simply wanted to posit the Asian artists he loved in front of the illimitable audience that only a place like the Internet can offer.“I didn't know what 88rising was gonna be, but I thought it was gonna be better than anything else because there was nothing like it at the time,” he says. “Still, I had never put out a record, helped make a song, signed an artist or anything like that. I was just trying to build a home on the internet to celebrate Asian cr...
