HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ HALEY HEYNDERICKX
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Haley Heynderickx, whose new album 'I Need To Start A Garden' is probably one of the loveliest things you'll listen to all year.
#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”?
Norma Tanega, Walkin' my cat named dog.
#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)?
Is it gross to hear I don't watch TV/have Netflix? I watched so much television as a child, I kind of stay away from it as an adult. Which makes me a rather boring person to make small talk with at dinner. I'd have to say Princess Mononoke by Hayao Miyazaki.
#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)?
Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants: Identify, Harvest, and Use 120 Wild Herbs for Health and Wellness - Scott Kloos.
Lately, I've really wanted to get into identifying plants around the PNW and learning how to use them. I know so little and there's so much to learn.
#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?
I couldn't tell you! This earth has lived millions of years without the internet, we're lucky to have it, but I don't really feel tied to it.
Other than the regular dose of dopamine addiction that I think we all have towards it. Again, sorry if this is a gross answer.
#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'm at a crossroads between swimming and saying hi to approachable strangers.
Your intuition tells you when it's worth saying that nervous hello.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Haley thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you head off to say hello to a stranger at the local swimming hole, make sure to follow Haley on whatever places you follow people on (Twitter / Instagram / Facebook) and then go spend a little bit of time with the amazing music Haley is putting out into the universe.
