Goddess
Daily Dose: Wet Leg, “Angelica”
Wednesdays are my Mondays so here’s my commute song. I play it on my way to the former Cliff House Restaurant where Western Neighborhoods Project has opened The Museum at The Cliff, a free community history and art pop-up, with friends from ACT Art Conservation and The Great Highway gallery. Open weekends through the end of August and maybe longer! GET TICKETS.
Daily Dose: Kevin Morby, “This Is A Photograph”
I’ve seen Kevin Morby play live more times than any other band, and he still delivers music that speaks to me. Tickets already purchased for The Fillmore on September 29, 2022!
Daily Dose: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, “If We Were Vampires”
Let’s start this week with something sentimental.
Daily Dose: The Cinematic Orchestra, “To Build A Home”
The kind of song you sit with on Sundays, on the floor of the pace in which you live – wherever and however that may be. Sitting in your space, by yourself, just listening.
Sundays are just for listening.
Daily Dose: Sandy Denny, “Who Knows Where Time Goes (1968)”
Have you ever felt like memories were yours because someone you loved spoke of them so often? This album is like that. It causes deja vu.
I have flashbacks of laying on my stomach in shag carpet beside my mother as a young woman, elbows dug into the ground and propping up our hands that hold chubby cheeks tired from grinning ear to ear. Our legs, bent 90 degrees toward the ceiling, kicking back and forth in idle curiosity with a flexibility we only get for a short time, a symptom of sumptuously careless youth.
These memories aren’t mine but they sure are real when I listen to this album. And song, in particular, makes me miss my mother more than ever.
Daily Dose: Alabaster DePlume, “Is it Enough”
Friday finds me asking for the same thing every week: “Give me a career in the arts and a latte!”
And also, “Give me one more day on this earth.”
Daily Dose: Laura Veirs, “Eucalyptus”
That song that gets you up and moving over it: mind, body, and soul.
Daily Dose: Nora Brown, “Little Satchel”
There’s nothing I love more than musicians who dig down deep and seemingly sing from another time. Nora Brown fits that bill.
Daily Dose: Regina Spektor, “Spacetime Fairytale”
Daily doses of music are back! Because you only live once, you know?
