Weāre living through a bit of a Nancy Sinatra renaissance, which is a lovely thing to live through. You hear her influence stretch from Lana Del Rey to Arctic Monkeys, and as time goes on she keeps getting namechecked by more and more artists.Ā Sheās definitely having a moment. I heard her playing in a vintage store yesterday, and I feel like that wouldnāt have happened a few years ago.Ā But acts like her can have so much material that it seems daunting or insurmountable to make the deep dive into the catalog. I mean, everyone knows the āNancy & Leeā record, but she has so many incredible songs with really intricate horn arrangements and some innovative approaches to bass that were way ahead of their time.Ā This collection isnāt the aforementioned deep dive she deserves, but it covers all the essentials you need to make it through the dinner party. Itās a lovely set of songs meant to be enjoyed outdoors during the magic hour. A few of these tracks have been my go-to ātuning up the guitarā songs for years now. The vinyl collection comes with an accompanying photo book to show you just how many current artists rip off her entire aesthetic.Donāt drive behind me if the sunset is too outrageously beautiful or if the fluffy white clouds dazzling the bluest sky are too incredible to ignore - Mimi Chenfeld.

š§can we normalize not knowing genres or the nitty gritty of why you like a song and accept that some people just like it based on vibes? (itās me. iām some people)
-āFrom The Startā by Good Kid covers often are hit or miss, but this is an absolute banger. somehow combining the jazz of the orginal Laufey tune with indie rock is everything anyone could possibly need and more. plus the indie rock makes the heartthrob of the lyrics hit so much harder. the delivery of the lyrics is just š itās just the perfect song to belt out and i love it so much
-āSaturday Sunā by Vance Joy indie folk!!! highly recommend!!! this shit is amazing!! the good vibes and the hope this song brings is just it.Ā something something being in love and being happy. this song is just great
-āAbout A Girlā by Nirvana I really like grunge rock apparently. depressing grunge rock. and this is depressing as shit. just- it- yeah i donāt even know what to say about this song. itās great and sad and- yeah yay! unhealthy relationships! (ahhhhhh)
-āSilver Springsā by Fleetwood Mac i already posted aboutĀ Rumours, but this is my favorite off the album, and itās not even actually on the original album. passing this over for āI Donāt Want To Knowā was certainly a choice, but i wasnāt alive in 1977 so what do i care? (i love both songs) in terms of the actual song, i donāt have a marriage thatās coming to a tulmoltuous end, but the feminine rage emitted from this song is everything. if you aināt singing your heart out in the second half, youāre doing it wrong.

have loved her, and especially the self-titled album (1979) since I was a kid. I love the upbeat tracks especially: Chuck Eās in Love, Easy Money, Dannyās All-Star Joint. she was dating Tom Waits around this time, and i definitely get hints of his influence in her lyrics.

ā»ļøIāve been traveling more and I hate carrying extra stuff. I took two pairs of pants, some socks, underwear, and two packs of hanes white t shirts and tank tops and left them at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles. When I fly in for less than a few days, I just ride with them and donāt really pack clothes. Sadly, I have to bring a laptop (Iām a producer, and ableton is essential for trips when Iām making music), but at least the bag is lighter. I dream of traveling without a computerā¦Soon Iāll get there.

š§If you were to add up the amount of money Iāve spent on iced coffee ā¦ it is a shameful amount. My dear friend Ethan Mark put me onto this wave of instant coffee and, though it hasnāt replaced deli coffee in my heart, it tastes great and has its own vibe. I usually hit a bodega coffee in the am then hit this mid-day. I donāt have a coffee maker or any cooking/food equipment stuff in the house. This shitā you literally add water and milk, which is, at full capacity, the absolute most I have in the crib. So it really works out. Iāll note that at no point throughout the year will I drink hot coffee, it is iced 365.

š¹Iāve been skating forever, but about two years ago I got a new studio space that is pretty far from the nearest..anything. Around that time, a guy got really drunk at my local bodega and left his skateboard there. They held it for me the next day and gave it to me as a gift for not being a rude customer, and I began living life as a boy with two boards. Since I was moving into a new studio, I thought Iād leave the board @ the studio for any coffee runs. Itās a lifesaver. I threw risers underneath the trucks and big longboard wheels on it, and now I can cruise to the coffee shop really fast. I canāt go back and ride those loud little wheels anymore. Once you try this, that shit just isnāt fun.
