HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JEEN.
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is JEEN. — a Canadian singer-songer-collaborator whose excellent new album Gift Shop is available on Bandcamp now and should be the next thing you stick in your headphones, right after you get through all the recs below.
#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 don’t really listen to music lately for some reason. I used to, just not for years now. But some older stuff; so many great records but let’s say, ‘you’re a women I’m a machine’ by dfa should be played at least once by everyone + Ian Blurton is playing guitar in my band, go buy his new solo LP next February.
#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 love the tv series Baskets.
Apocalypse Now is probably my favourite movie.
When I’m depressed I watch Dr Phil.
#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 can’t seem to commit to a book in the past few months so I should be asking this to you haha. I’m a huge fan of Cormac McCarthy though can’t go wrong with that guy.
#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?
eBay and luxury consignment. I love high end clothing so I’m always scouring the internet for things I love but can’t afford :)
And the news. I read a lot of news on the internet.
#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.
CBD + dogs :)
OK folks, there you have it. Things that JEEN. thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go find some D-O-G’s to C-B-D with, make sure to follow JEEN. on the Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and then go give Gift Shop some ear time over on Bandcamp.
