HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ L'RESORTS

* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is L’Resorts — music-makers out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin who recently dropped a really lovely album called ‘Vacation’, BUT, first, the recommendations…

#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’ve been enjoying a fair amount of Valerie June lately and really dug her latest single that came out a few months ago, Call me a Fool.

Her voice has a wonderful growl in the chorus that I really love.

#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)?

You don’t have to be a soccer fan to love Ted Lasso. That show is uplifting and makes me laugh pretty hard.

My favorite character is Danny Rojas, “futbol is life!”

#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 recently got a new dog, Yoyo. She’s a Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepard mix. Wonderful, stubborn and huge so my mom lent me this pretty tight dog training book, Lucky Dog Lessons.

I trained her in 4 days, lol.

#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 spend way too much time on chess.com. I’ve played thousands of 3 minute blitz games against people from all over the world since the pandemic started. I would be bummed if that disappeared.

#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.

Yeah, definitely, if you want some calm and amazing scents in your life, Higher Power Aromatics is some must have incense. The Yerba Santa cones are my new fave. I love this stuff.


OK folks, there you have it. Things that L’Resorts thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go light some incense, make sure to follow L’Resorts on the Facebook / Instagram and then also give ‘Vacation’ a listen below…
