I used to listen to him a lot more when i was younger, but iāve been picking him back up recently along with steely dan. A bit hungover and laying like a cat on the warm concrete listening to Finally Alone and Hey Nineteen. This type of music is what girls who grew up on 70s yacht rock fw now a days. Grab yourself a friend w a boat, a day off from work, and a nice juicy watermelon slice.

as the years go by i realized how much this dude has inspired me. somehow his songs captures the essence of night time, syrupy mysterious nocturnal grooves. itās hard to recommend a proper entry point into his catalogue too, because thereās so much and to me itās all good. though i always fall back on his solo records ābete noirā & āboys & girls.ā it has the super hit āslave to loveā obviously - but the other tracks are just as juicy - āwindsweptā is a personal fav. each song features a different heavy hitter guitarist from the era too - which is why iām so obsessed with it. heās like a sweaty laid back lounge singer serenading you at 3AM, meanwhile these guitarists are just shredding behind him.
last saturday, i played a show and to get myself in the zone, i popped on āboys & girlsā on the drive over. when i finished my set, a friend asked about the drum machine in one song and i said i took a cue from ferry and he recommended his 2010 record āolympiaā which i somehow had never heard and now iām currently obsessed with it. when i was packing up my gear the dj just put on another track of his. the next day at work, to sustain my post-show high i put on roxy music, and a customer i usually never talk to wound up sticking around telling me how much they love him. anyways i love that heās kind of my spirit guide following me around at the moment and highly recommend doing a deep dive into his world if you havenāt done so alreadyā¦

I don't know if this is a call for help, but I've been exclusively listening to one album for almost two months now. This masterpiece dropped in March, and I've clocked in about 300 listens, but who's counting? We are. Bonus rec, the boys and I have linked our Spotify accounts to last.fm to keep track of every song we listen to.Giveon has such a unique, well rounded, really deep voice. This is one of those albums where every song hits for me. Never thought I'd say this, but I think he may have even knocked Daniel Caesar off of my R&B artist throne.

Recently became aware of the fact that I spend more time bathing in my phones light than actual sunlight. I decided to go lay in the sun not for the purpose of tanning but rather under a tree just to feel the suns warmth. When humans photosynthesize we donāt release our own food but we definitely release dopamine, a different and honestly more vital nourishment.

Would NEVER have watched this but I was at a friends and they wanted to. This movie looks awful but I will recommend it till I die. Itās like if borat was made in the 70s but the movie took place in biblical times. Fully urge you to watch this while high.
