What I’m Listening To: June 2022

               Two years ago, in the midst of isolation and boredom and a search for something to do, I began tracking my favorite songs each month. That first list didn’t have any rules—just vibes—but it created an outline for what was to come.

“Living La Dolce Vita”: FROOT by Marina And The Diamonds

              I have had a strange fascination/obsession/love with Marina And The Diamonds ever since “I Am Not a Robot” from her album Family Jewels was available for free on iTunes. I got it, listened, and kept listening to her work. The great thing is that all of her albums have their own vibe, but… Continue reading “Living La Dolce Vita”: FROOT by Marina And The Diamonds
