HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MIYNT
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Miynt — a singer-songer out of Sweden who has a lovely new track out today called ‘Nothing Personal’ (which you can also find on 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”?
Hmm, I just started listening to the song Changes by Neil Francis, it sounds a bit like a modern JJ Cale, it makes me exited for the summer.
#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 would say Twin Peaks. It's almost an obligation.
#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 reading a lot of Haruki Murakami lately, I really like his way of writing, maybe try the book ‘Kafka on the Shore’.
#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?
Youtube! I'm probably spending 50% of my time on the internet watching doctors/scientist talking about different processes in the body/mind, mixed up with videos of animals saving other animals out of tricky situations. That makes me feel great.
#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.
Laugh a lot, love a lot, be curious and try to be as present as possible. Watch videos of animals saving other animals and last but not least listen, play and make MUSIC. Cheers!
…and if you like what you’re hearing, go do some further miynt-flavoured audio exploring over on the Soundcloud / Spotify.
