Some weeks it will be 'Listening To', other weeks it will be 'Watch This'. Occasionally there will be nothing because I am lazy and have things to do and waffles to eat. Anyways. First things first.
Courtney Barnett- Avant Gardener
Is this a music video or a Wes Anderson film?
Courtney Barnett is 25 and from Australia. Chic. Also this song alludes to Uma
Thurman circa Pulp Fiction. Again, chic. 'Avant Gardener' mixes mellow vocals with an
edgier background, giving it the perfect amount of digestibility. Download it (legally
or illegally, I won’t tell), and pop it in while walking to work or school or wherever it
is that you disappear to. Guarantee you’ll feel superior to everyone else. I do.
Tove Lo-Habits
Preface: I discovered the wonderful Tove Lo in April. So when she blows up, you’re
welcome. Tove is from Sweden (most decent artists are not from America, see
The Beatles) but her lyrics are in English. Score. 'Habits' is versatile in that it is great
on a party playlist, while simultaneously the break up anthem of our generation. Or
at least a break up anthem of a generation.
Lana Del Rey- On Our Way
Ever since Lana’s 'Young and Beautiful' became the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s
of unreleased songs that are not only brilliant but also underground. Chic. 'On Our
Way' captivates the tortured artist that is Lana Del Rey, prep school graduate and
Fordham University alumnus.
If iPhones existed when Columbus was alive, all of these songs would be on his 'Voyage' playlist. Enjoy.
