HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ TOMMY ALEXANDER
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Tommy Alexander — a singer-songer out of Portland whose got a new single out called ‘River Run Down’ that you can grab as a bonus track on last year’s excellent ‘Waves’ LP (and you can also catch that track on the HI54 Mix CD ‘MOUNTOWN LIFE’)
#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”?
Cate Le Bon - Reward | An exceptional and inspiring record. Stunning and perfect.
#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)?
Party Down - Two seasons of comedic brilliance.
#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 Tibetan Book of the Dead - wild piece of literature that speaks to the tibetan philosophy of the experiences that consciousness has after death, in the interval between death and the next rebirth. It's far out, even conceptually — a very cool read.
#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?
The Tiny Chef Show - It's for kids and that's why it's probably so good.
#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.
I'd have to say driving slower .. not crazy slow but not speeding around like assholes. It's safer for everyone and will lower stress levels.
Also.. microdosing psilocybin.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Tommy Alexander thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go drive slowly over to your psilocybin contact, make sure to follow Tommy Alexander on the Facebook / Instagram and then also give ‘River Run Down’ a listen below…
