“A Hymn”

It’s a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Two Years Ago we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!! So instead of album after album, we’re going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME. - This week’s FIFTY-SIXTH installment song (Year Two!) is from Artist: Idles And is called “A Hymn.” It is from their third studio album: Ultra Mono You can listen to the album version of the song here: https://youtu.be/BJHn6ab-DtE?s... [https://youtu.be/BJHn6ab-DtE?si=TyuUHUNoVNQBDZUx] And you can watch the quietly beautiful, tear-inducing video here: https://youtu.be/eYGtGcJ8rKw?s... [https://youtu.be/eYGtGcJ8rKw?si=p9ulRKdzUXM2aDlW] Plus you can almost always grab a preview on my IG @whereschloe; it’s up on the profile. - There is no hierarchy; these songs are going to be in basically a random order, chosen for reasons that I’ll most likely expound upon within the episode. Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc. Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who’s to know what will be next and why? ;) Remember your favorites. Discover something new. One song of the week at a time for however long works. I’m ELATED that you’re along for the ride, C -

Eastern Island Etiquette

A little shorter today, thanks in advance for understanding. Not all the eastern islands (which of course is relative depending on where you currently are), but a particularly island nation whose ideals might benefit us all. Hang in there, C
