HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SUZIE CHISM
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Suzie Chism — a Los Angeles based singer-songer whose debut album ‘Where’ will be out on March 13th, so check out the single ‘Five Minute Face’ while you wait (and you can also check the first single in the HI54 Mix CD ‘420 ≠ ALL DAY’).
#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”?
“Love Is A Country” a later release by The Wallflowers. It’s perfect. Jay Joyce produced it, and he manages to reveal wisdom of the ages with a childlike wonder.
#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’re the Worst on FX is brilliant and complex. Slothrust (local on Dangerbird) did the perfect theme song for it, and I’m depressed it ended!
#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)?
The next book you should read is the Chrissie Hynde autobiography. I’ve actually never related more to an author.
#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?
Allmusic credits! I constantly need to know who captured, performed, or manipulated the sound on albums.
#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.
Doing something nice for someone else is just as fun as someone doing something nice for you! Make time for it. And eat diner pie when you see it.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Suzie Chism thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go do something nice like share a diner pie with someone else, make sure to follow Suzie on the Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and then also give ‘Five Minute Face’ a listen below…
…and if you like what you’re hearing, go do some further suzie-chism-flavoured audio exploring over on the Soundcloud / Spotify.
