A Sunday pace.
Month: July 2023
Daily Dose: Angie McMahon, “Letting Go”
I was obsessed with her debut album in 2019 and this new song falls right in line with that obsession. But can I afford to see her play in LA in September? Probably not but I sure as hell wish that wasn’t the case…
Daily Dose: Flyte ft. Laura Marling, “Tough Love”
How are you still breathing, with my hands all over your heart?
Daily Dose: Shakey Graves, “Evergreen”
Very much looking forward to the release of Movie Of The Week.
Daily Dose: Andrew Bird, “Tik Tok”
As always, exquisite.
Daily Dose: Nina Simone, “I Loves You Porgy”
If you haven’t watched “What Happened, Miss Simone?” yet, maybe now is the time.
Daily Dose: Cigarettes After Sex, “Bubblegum”
Is there any other band with a name that more perfectly reflects its sound?
Daily Dose: Lana Del Rey, “A&W”
If you have a blog that explores nostalgia, you’re contractually obligated to like and share music by Lana Del Rey.
On a level deeper beneath the surface, her music helps me navigate the experience of being a public woman. Here, where I am Content, people expect me to be specifically what they want, nothing more or less. My laugh is irritating, I sure don’t look like a historian, I must be an intern at the nonprofit I run, I sound like a failed comedian, I am too white, I am too woke, I am not enough but I am also too much.
“It’s not about having someone to love me anymore. This is the experience of being an American whore.” Drops beat around 4:10.
Daily Dose: Lizzy McAlpine, “doomsday”
I’ve got work to do.
Daily Dose: Hayden, “Are We Good”
One of my all-time favorite artists who continues to give me exactly what I need.
