HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BOBBY RENZ OF CURASAO
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Bobby Renz from Curasao — a Bay Area band whose new album ‘Chance To Love’ is out on Text Me Records now (and you can catch the track ‘My Name’ in the ‘HI54 SUMMER’ mix cd).
#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”?
sorry i know it’s two but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#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)?
‘Big Mouth’ has been making me feel better about my (and probably everyone’s) very weird adolescent years where you don’t have any idea what’s going on with your body and feelings.
#3. I (AND BY “I” I MEAN “THE PERSON THAT IS READING THIS”) AM GOING TO THE BOOK STORE (OK, PROBABLY AMAZON) 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)?
Meditations on Living, Dying, and Loss: The Essential Tibetan Book of the Dead.
#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?
#5 - AND FINALLY… PLEASE GIVE ONE COMPLETELY UNAIDED RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD START DOING / USING / WATCHING / EATING / THINKING / QUITING / ETC-ING TO MAKE THEIR LIVES A LITTLE BIT MORE BETTER AND/OR BEARABLE.
Spend an hour or two after you wake up with no internet.
Do anything, even just sit there thinking with coffee or tea. Talk to your partner, talk to your dog, talk to your lizard, exercise, play guitar, paint, who cares what it is just no internet for an hour or two.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Bobby Renz of Curasao thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off the internet to do non-internet things, make sure to follow Curasao on the Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and then also give ‘My Name’ a listen below…
…and if you like what you’re hearing, go do some further Curasao-flavoured audio exploring over on the Bandcamp / Streaming Platform Of Your Choice.
