Matt Flegel, bassist and vocalist of Canadian post-punk band Preoccupations, was in a Montreal recording studio when I called him this past October. He’d been “crashed out” there, working on new music, and hadn’t left the building in two days, apparently. Since he and his bandmates left their day jobs, he says they grow bored quickly between tours and jump…

Dear Dan: I’m a 30-year-old, Asian American, hetero-flexible cis woman. I’m also newly diagnosed with bipolar II. I’m on medication — the doctor is trying to figure that out — but no talk therapy for right now, as my last therapist wasn’t great and I haven’t managed to find a new one. My question for you is regarding the relationship…
