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.
Daily Dose: Tiny Ruins, “Me At The Museum, You In The Wintergardens”
Nobody feels old at the museum.
Daily Dose: Norah Jones, “Killing Time”
How can it take so long?
Daily Dose: Jeremy Dutcher, “Ancestors Too Young”
Jeremy Dutcher is a Wolastoqiyik member of Canada’s Tobique First Nation. A composer, an activist, an ethnomusicologist, Dutcher is an absolute force. NPR even called him a leading light in the country’s Indigenous Renaissance in 2018. I’m just beginning to discover what he’s creating and I’m very much impressed.
