HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ GOOD DOG NIGEL
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Good Dog Nigel — a rock and roll band from Virginia whose latest album “The Implied Sunrise” dropped earlier this year and you can grab it on Bandcamp (and you can catch the lead-off track ‘I Can’t Be’ in the HI54 mix cd ‘NOT LOST / NOT FOUND’).
#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 think if someone has never been introduced to the brilliance and beauty of “Sweetheart Of The Rodeo” by The Byrds, that’s what I would recommend off the top of my head.
And as far as new music, I really love Shy Boys.
#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)?
#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)?
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. It was one of the first books I read that I really loved at a younger age.
#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.
I think everyone should drink more water, walk more, pet a dog, and use your phone less.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Good Dog Nigel thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go drink some water while you pet a dog you walked without taking your phone out once, make sure to follow Good Dog Nigel on the Facebook / Instagram and then also give ‘I Can’t Be’ a listen below…
