HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ UNWED SAILOR
* Providing the A's to the 5 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Q's today is Unwed Sailor— a music-maker out of Oklahoma whose lovely new album ‘Truth or Consequences’ comes out in May (and you can find single ‘Ajo’ in the HI54 all-day jukebox ‘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”?
I always go to New Order because they are my favorite band of all time. I wouldn’t be creating music without their influence in my life. I’d recommend their “Substance” 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)?
I recently got into the HBO series “His Dark Materials”. I’m a big sci fi / fantasy fan, so it pushed all my buttons.
#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)?
It would be another New Order related recommendation. Peter Hook, former bass player of New Order, wrote an excellent book on the history of the band.
I’m a big music autobiography fan, so that mixed with the New Order element made this the perfect book for me.
#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?
Skateboarding videos on YouTube. They’ve become 85% of what I view on a screen.
#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.
ASMR videos on YouTube. Specifically “Library of Whispers”....a wonderful lady who whisper reads Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter books.
Listening to her read as I’m laying in bed is the perfect way to get a good nights sleep.
OK folks, there you have it. Things that Unwed Sailor thinks you should consider incorporating into your day/life. Before you log off and go fall asleep to someone whispering about skateboarding, make sure to follow Unwed Sailor on the Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and then also give ‘Ajo’ a listen below…
