HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BAD FLAMINGO

* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Bad Flamingo — a couple of music-making bandits who’ve been dropping tasty single after tasty single since 2018 over on their Spotify / Soundcloud (and you can catch the recently dropped ‘Butter’ in the HI54 Mix CD ‘INDIE AMERICA, USA).

#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”?

Get yourself entertained with “The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin. Saloons or ice cream cones. Either way you’re right.

#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)?

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Outlaws, cowboys, dirt, dynamite, singing, fistfights, mostly true.

#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 Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love by William Goldman. Because masks: “They’re terribly comfortable.” — the man in black

#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?

For those times when you want to Yahoo, Yeehoo, and Yeehaw:

#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.

Give some tender loving care to a cactus.


OK folks, there you have it. Things that Bad Flamingo think you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go find a cactus to love on, make sure to follow Bad Flamingo on the Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and then also give ‘Butter’ a listen below…
