HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ADI-KESHET COHEN

* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Adi-Keshet Cohen — a music-maker out of Israel who recently dropped a lovely new single called ‘Losing You’ (which you can catch on the HI54 Mix CD ‘MEDITERRANEAN MIXER’).

#1 - WHAT IS THE ONE ALBUM (OR EP OR SONG) THAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE THE VERY NEXT MUSICAL THING THAT EVERYONE PRESSES PLAY ON THE NEXT TIME THEY FIND THEMSELVES THINKING “WHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NOW”?

Since I don't tend to fall in love too easily - I'm going to give you the last song I truly fell in love with: Empty Beach by Coco.

"Coco" is anonymous, so no info about who they are. But this song is freakingly and simply beautiful.

#2 - WHAT IS THE ONE MOVIE OR TV SHOW THAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE NEXT IN EVERYBODY’S NETFLIX QUEUE (OK, DOESN’T HAVE TO BE NETFLIX, WE’RE ALL INTERNET ADULTS HERE AND KNOW HOW TO FIND ANYTHING ONLINE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER)?

My favorite movie since forever still is 'Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind'. But that's a classic. Last new Netflix movie that felt like pure art to me: "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" by Cohen Brothers.

#3. I (AND BY “I” I MEAN “THE PERSON THAT IS READING THIS”) AM GOING TO THE LOCAL BOOK STORE (OK, MAYBE THE LOCAL LIBRARY FIRST) TO FIND THE VERY NEXT BOOK THAT I WILL BE PUTTING SOME EXTREMELY VALUABLE ‘ME-TIME' ASIDE FOR. WHICH BOOK WOULD YOU GET, IF YOU WERE ME (AND, I SUPPOSE, YOU HADN’T ALREADY READ WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO SUGGEST)?

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kondera. I know, also a classic. I'm a classic girl.

#4 - WHAT IS THE ONE WEBSITE (OR JUST ANY OLD INTERNET THING: APP, GIF, SERVICE, WHATEVER) THAT YOU WOULD GET REALLY DOWN IN THE DUMPS ABOUT IF IT WERE TO SUDDENLY GO AWAY?

Been watching a lot of Weyes Blood music videos lately, specifically this one:

So much freedom in it. I love it. Wouldn't be down in the dumps though, for any website. I hope.

#5 - AND FINALLY… PLEASE GIVE ONE COMPLETELY UNAIDED RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD START DOING / USING / WATCHING / EATING / THINKING / QUITTING / ETC-ING TO MAKE THEIR LIVES A LITTLE BIT MORE BETTER AND/OR BEARABLE.

When you feel like you can't do anything, or the thoughts run too wild, go to the beach in the evening, just sit there and shut up. It's magic.


OK folks, there you have it. Things that Adi-Keshet Cohen thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go spend the evening at the beach, make sure to follow Adi-Keshet Cohen on the Facebook / Instagram and then also give ‘Losing You’ a listen below…
