Heart Beats Slow by Angus and Julia Stone #MusicMonday
A couple of weeks ago, I featured Dope Lemon, who’s also half of the sibling musical duo Angus and Julia Stone. This is a song with his sister called “Heart Beats Slow.” The quiet, dreamy vocals juxtapose brilliantly with the sexy, violent scenes of the video. You know someone’s going to become unhinged. Additionally, the...Continue reading Heart Beats Slow by Angus and Julia Stone #MusicMonday →

Hey You by Dope Lemon #MusicMonday
Dope Lemon is the stage name for Australian singer-songwriter Angus Stone, who’s also half of the sibling musical duo Angus and Julia Stone. I like his music with his sister, but this is a very different sound. Some have labelled it woozy slacker rock, which I think describes it perfectly. I like the bizarre video...Continue reading Hey You by Dope Lemon #MusicMonday →

Adore You by Harry Styles #MusicMonday
One more Harry Styles this week! I like the song, but I love the premise of the video. It’s such an oddity to hear lyrics like this associated with a love affair of a boy and fish: ” … You don’t have to say you love me I just wanna tell you somethin’ Lately, you’ve...Continue reading Adore You by Harry Styles #MusicMonday →

Always Alright by Alabama Shakes #MusicMonday
Over the weekend, I watched Emma Thompson’s latest, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. She plays Nancy, a retired school teacher who hires a sex worker named Leo Grande, played by Daryl McCormack. The film is a dialogue-heavy exploration into sexual adventure, aging, and body image. Movies rarely explore the wants and needs of older...Continue reading Always Alright by Alabama Shakes #MusicMonday →
