new music and random stuff

- the Parks and Recreation last night was CLASSIC. don't think I have a TV. the internet is my god for a reason.

- I'm wearing a black sweater and jeans tomorrow in honor of Steve Jobs. join me! maybe we can speak at podiums as well!

- I really love podiums.

- CALENDAR IS UPDATED GO CHECK

- hey, do you live in New York City too? are you not sleeping on Wall Street tonight? because Holy Ghost needs extras for their music video next week!

- Nicole Atkins dropped a free EP. she's really wonderful.

I like her, but she never responds to my tweets. other celebrities that don't:

- St. Vincent
- The Antlers
- BEST COAST. I tweet her ALL THE TIME and what do I get? ugh.

WHAT DO I GET? sweet NOTHING

- make Oh Land's cover of The National's "Bloodbuzz Ohio" NO. 1 on hype machine

- I'm glad she chose that song to cover. It reminds me of my ties to Erie.

- there's a Lykke Li cover of "Unchained Melody" on there as well which I bet is good. I haven't listened to it yet, so I'm blindly suggesting.

- I walked onto the set of a Julianne Moore film yesterday by accident.

also, downloading the new Feist! Thanks Daryl!

"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.

There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members or stress over where to eat Christmas dinner. Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know.

Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

"High Tide, Storm Rising" - Skinshape

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie." And if you have read any of my prior posts, you know I'm a sucker for anything cinematic. Here's a full look at the Skinshape "Nostalgia" track listing: 01. Theme For Lazarus 02. Better Chances 03. Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk 05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world. Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
