HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CHARLOTTE CORNFIELD
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Charlotte Cornfield — a singer-songer from Toronto whose latest lovely single ‘Storm Clouds’ just dropped (& previous single ‘Andrew’ was recently featured in the HI54 ‘EH CANADA’ playlist) - mark you calendars for April 5th, as that’s when Charlotte’s upcoming LP, The Shape Of Your Name is out. {photo by Jenna Ledger}
#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”?
I'm just loving the new Sharon Van Etten record, and I saw her show in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. It was probably the best show I have seen in 5 years.
So Sharon Van Etten's record 'Remind Me Tomorrow' is my pick.
#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)?
I just watched 'Sex Education'
and 'Russian Doll’
And both of those are great shows.
#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)?
I am almost all the way through 'Washington Black' by Esi Edugyan. It's so good.
#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?
The only game app I have on my phone is this boggle app called ‘WordCrack’. I love it, play it all the time, and would be very bummed if it disappeared.
#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.
I just discovered this record 'Tomb' by Angelo de Augustine. It's so good, specifically this song "I Could be Wrong".
Check it out!
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Charlotte Cornfield thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you click away and get addicted to WordCrack, make sure to follow Charlotte on the Facebook & the Twitter & the Instagram, and then go do some Charlotte Cornfield flavoured Youtube exploring to get yourself prepped for the new LP in April.
