Imagine: You bring out one of the good rocks glasses (or your favorite mug or a special occasion tea cup) and pour a couple fingers of amber liquid (or something dark and strong or just some whole milk). You drop the needle on the jazz platter (or pull up a blues album on your mp3 player or dig out that mixtape from college). Ensconcing yourself in the coziest seat in the house, you crack the spine on a classic (or find your place in that sci-fi paperback or pull up a biography on your e-book reader). And then, you go away for a while.

Furthermore, her tunes reflect her travels: the rhythms are drawn, in part, from time spent in Cuba; the streetnoises of Havana and London are both incorporated into the larger soundscape; and one song is in her native French. As soon as I heard it, I wanted to know more about her.<\/p>\n<p>For example, consider the steady insistent pulse of <i>Black Butterflies<\/i>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/217262885&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And with that I will turn the floor over to her, to share a favorite book, record and drink:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_3196\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/?attachment_id=3196\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3196\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3196\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/angeline-500x375.png\" alt=\"Ang\u00c3\u00a9line, dancing.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3196\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/angeline-500x375.png 500w, http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/angeline-200x150.png 200w, http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/angeline-150x113.png 150w, http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/angeline.png 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3196\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ang\u00c3\u00a9line, dancing.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>A Good Read<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With no doubt I chose the book I am currently reading: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alibris.com\/search\/books\/subject\/Art-History-Modern-late-19th-Century-to-1945?wquery=Conversations+with+Picasso\">Conversations with Picasso<\/a> by Brassa\u00c3\u00af. A few years ago I discovered the world of Art, I became obsessed with painters. I go through phases when I read, watch every documentary there is about a chosen artist; I give myself missions to analyze and understand the artist and the context in which he made his masterpieces. Brassa\u00c3\u00af reports conversations he had with Picasso in Paris during the war, enabling the reader to understand his complex personality. Brassa\u00c3\u00af invites the reader to listen to Picasso and his fellow surrealists debating on Life and Art, and I, after every chapter, feel the need to write about it, too frustrated that I don&#8217;t get to express my opinion and be in the room with them all!<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Listen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 1st album that came to my mind is <em>Catching a Tiger<\/em> by Lissie (2010). Again, I get very obsessive with albums I buy and I will play them on repeat until I know every single word of every song. I had only heard one song of this album before buying it but it straight away became one of my favourite. I love Lissie&#8217;s broken voice, she sings with her heart and her imperfections make her sound so beautiful, so true. At the time, the pictures of the booklet, the space in the music and the country-folk influences woke up the dream I had to travel the world. Later on, it&#8217;s <em>Record Collector<\/em> I listened to when I went to the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Lissie - Record Collector (Live on 89.3 The Current)\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_bxdyDIzS6OA\"><div id=\"lyte_bxdyDIzS6OA\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bxdyDIzS6OA\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\">Lissie - Record Collector (Live on 89.3 The Current)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/bxdyDIzS6OA\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bxdyDIzS6OA\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Lissie - Record Collector (Live on 89.3 The Current)\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Drink<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s a tricky one.
