HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JAMES WYATT CROSBY
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is James Wyatt Crosby — a music-maker out of Toronto with a lovely new single out called ‘Shadow of a Ghost’ (which you can also catch on the HI54 Mix CD ‘ONTARIO’)
#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”?
PACKS has a great new album out and Triples also rules. Toronto rock siblings, rocking it big time. They take the cake. Seriously, check ‘em out.
Oh, also my new single “Shadow of a Ghost” – it’s also a good time. Check it out too, out October 15th!
#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)?
Johnny Mnemonic is a fun one I saw recently. Classic Keanu, kind of a proto-Matrix from 1995.
The new Matrix reboot looks pretty bad, so check this out instead if you haven’t seen it.
#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)?
I’ve been into this Lapham’s Quarterly magazines series that are just like, theme based history compilations. Some are on art or crime or money or music. They probably sound boring and terrible, but they’re actually incredible and I’d like to read more of those.
The one on love called “Eros” is my favourite probably. The next ones I want to read are “happiness” or maybe “death” or maybe “food”.
#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 guess Hot Ones? Hot Ones is pretty good. Celebs eating wings and getting interrogated is fun to watch.
I’m really hoping that it gets to the next level where spicy wing eating is incorporated into top tier events like the presidential debates and shit like that. I think it could happen.
#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.
Eat extravagantly, quit smoking cigs and go swimming in the wintertime.
I’ve gotten kind of sucked into the Wim Hof cold therapy thing, and it’s pretty cool. You swim in cold-ass water or take a cold shower and feel amazing afterwards.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that James Wyatt Crosby thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go take a cold shower, make sure to follow James on the Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and then also give ‘Shadow of a Ghost’ a listen below…
…and if you like what you’re hearing, go do some further james-wyatt-crosby-flavoured audio exploring over on the Spotify.
