SCREW YOU, I LOVE THAT ALBUM

LCD Soundsystem- This Is Happening
The National- High Violet
Sufjan Stevens- Age of Adz

I just want to say YOU NEED THAT IN YOUR LIFE. I saw a few reviews comparing her to Joni Mitchell...I thought more of Kate Bush.

UFFIE- SEX DREAMS AND DENIM JEANS
Robyn- Body Talk
She & Him- Volume Two

I played this album to death and back. not kidding: wish I was, again.

BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Charlotte Gainsbourg- IRM
I like survivor stories, what can I say.



things I wish I had listened to more:
Maximum Balloon, Magnetic Man, Mark Ronson, the Black Keys, Gayngs, Diamond Rings, Glasser, Kelis, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Brandon Flowers, Best Coast!!!!!, Phantogram, Aloe Bloecc.

DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR: SLEIGH BELLS

all right, see you in the future!

p.s. went to a lot of shows, Victoria Legrand waved at me at Beach House, almost died at Sleigh Bells, She & Him was too obnoxious an audience, Free Energy was short, Joanna Newsom was good but my frame of mind was all wrong, METRIC BLEW ME AWAY.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

 It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!)  - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!)  - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
