week 11 | Cupid Deluxe by Blood Orange

I have landed on Blood Orange for week 11 via last week’s episode of the podcast Punch Up The Jam. I’ve loved Demi since Gilmore Guys and he is wildly funny and grossly talented. I only learned of Miel through this podcast but she is also wildly talented and grossly funny. Go read about the podcast, I’m not here to explain everything to you all!

At the end of each episode Demi, Miel, and their guest suggest and “unpunchable jam,” essentially a perfect song they love. This week, their guest, Edgar Momplaisir’s unpunchable jam was “Holy Will” by Blood Orange. So I was like, oh I know Blood Orange but let’s deep dive this shit.

I went through each of the four albums’ ratings on Pitchfork and picked Cupid Deluxe because it had the second highest score (8.5) and I have seen this album cover before I like being comfy cozy in that familiarity.

So, here we go ppl.

week 10 | Sucker Punch by Sigrid

This girl is so cool. I am only just learning about her but she is literally so dope and cool and the song “Sucker Punch” and the video that goes along with it — so rad. I’m getting this cool sugary pop song vibe a la Robyn’s “Show Me Love” era. I dig it. And the song “Basic” is hilarious and lovely.

Get into it.

week 8 | Bottle It In by Kurt Vile

Mitch and I are seeing Kurt Vile and the Violators with The Sadies tomorrow night at the Slowdown in Omaha, so I figured I’ll be riding that high the rest of the week anyway! I have listened to this album once or twice, but certainly not an artist that I mind revisiting again and again.
