HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ RACHEL TRACHTENBURG (WOOING)
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Rachel Trachtenburg from Wooing—a New York band with a killer new ep out on Ba Da Bing Records called Daydream Time Machine.
#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 really been enjoying our label mate Katie Von Schleicher’s album Shitty Hits. “Paranoia” & “Going Down” have been on repeat all week.
As for something older Sibylle Baier’s album “Colour Green” is my go-to winter mood album.
#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)?
The Pyramid Code is my new favorite show. It’s on Netflix.
I feel like it’s just enough about the history and mythical beliefs, it’s very magical, educational, and entertaining!
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)?
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander.
#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?
Democracy Now and Instagram are my two favorite online destinations.
#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.
Chia seeds! Add them to water or oatmeal.They give so much energy and nutrients.
#1 recommendation for 2018. Cha cha cha chia. Make sure they are organic.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Rachel Trachtenburg from Wooing thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off to go pour chia seeds on top of everything, make sure you follow Rachel on Instagram + Wooing on Facebook / Instagram. And then go check out that Daydream Time Machine EP.
