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. Ah, bliss.<\/p>\n<p>In this series, some of NTSIB&#8217;s friends share beloved albums, books and drinks to recommend or inspire.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I was initially intrigued by <i>Just Like July<\/i> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pelicansandtheirallies.com\/\">Pelicans and Their Allies<\/a> because a) that&#8217;s an awesome band name, and I wanted to see what they sounded like and b) the title references July Johnson from <i>Lonesome Dove,<\/i> and I&#8217;m a sucker for those kinds of cross-cultural references. When I pressed play, I was further reeled in by the power-pop tempo and the bright cello ribbon that gleams between the drums. But the thing that caused me to go and back and listen to it a few more times was the overarching message: <i>This may not be the life (story) you had planned. It is the life (story) you can choose.

Photo credit: Emily Goodstein<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>A Good Read<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert:<\/strong> I first came across Dan Kennedy by listening to the podcasts <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maximumfun.org\/shows\/jordan-jesse-go\">Jordan, Jesse, Go! <\/a><\/em>and <em><a href=\"http:\/\/themoth.org\/about\/programs\/the-moth-podcast\">The Moth<\/a><\/em>. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great self-deprecating and hilarious storyteller, a loveable and self-aware slacker. At the time I heard him on these podcasts he was telling stories from his memoir, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.powells.com\/biblio\/1-9781565125094-4\">Rock On: An Office Power Ballad<\/a><\/em>, about how he worked as an executive at a major record label (Atlantic, maybe?)[ed note: yes, Atlantic!] thinking he would fuck shit up from the inside, like the true punk rocker he fancied himself to be at the time. But he just ended up doing things like writing the copy for a full page magazine ad congratulating Phil Collins on all his years of success, and pretending like he knew what he was doing. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great book that made me laugh out loud a lot and reaffirmed my love-hate relationship with the mainstream record industry. <\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m currently reading his first novel, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.powells.com\/biblio\/62-9780544032040-0\">American Spirit<\/a><\/em>. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just as funny, but with a lot more heart. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the story of an executive who loses his job and ends up living in his leased BMW (or as he calls it, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Bavarian land yacht\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) and popping pills and taking crafting and yoga classes. The best thing about it is Kennedy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability to maintain a tone that is pitiful and sad, but also hilarious and even uplifting throughout. Both books are great, so just pick whichever sounds best to you. If you like the one you get, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just end up reading the other, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dayana:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powells.com\/biblio\/1-9781580931458-6\">The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death<\/a>, Corinne May Botz. A photographic account of the work of Frances Glessner Lee, a well-to-do grandmother (an heiress, no less) who built meticulously reconstructed dollhouse crime scenes based on real-life cases in order to train investigators in the 1940s and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc50s about the art and science of forensic evidence. Accident? Murder? Suicide? What does the (adorable\/macabre) evidence tell you?<\/p>\n<p>The book, which features details from 18 fully functional dioramas (working window shades; eensy weensy pencils with real lead; blood spatter on true-to-scale wallpaper pattern from the crime scene), appeals to the crafter of creepy things in me. That Frances was able to break through the bulletproof glass ceiling of the era to become a Captain in the New Hampshire police department based on her forensic work, well, that deserves a robust, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You go, girl!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Listen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert:<\/strong> I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been listening to The Tallest Man On Earth ever since I heard John Richards play \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Be Found\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on the KEXP Music That Matters podcast five or six years ago. As soon as I heard it I bought the record and have bought every Tallest Man On Earth album ever since. Every one of them is great all the way through, especially his newest, Dark Bird is Home, which is a little different than the rest. All the previous records were mostly intimate solo performances&#8211;just him with a guitar or a banjo. Every now and then a song might have a bass on it, or a second guitar, but everything was pretty stripped down. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know the newest one had a full band until I started listening to it. <\/p>\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s funny how changes can be so unsettling at first. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help but think that the solo performance element was one of the things I loved most about him, so the idea of full band arrangements made me think, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153OH NO. If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not broken, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fix it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But, of course, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s great are the songs that he writes, and the new arrangements elevate the songs and make them so lush and beautiful. Plus now when you see him live you get to hear some of the old songs played by a full band and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a gorgeous change. Here he is with his amazing band on Conan: <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/teamcoco.com\/embed\/v\/89305#playlist=x;eyJ0eXBlIjoicmVsYXRlZCIsImlkIjo4OTMwNX0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dayana:<\/strong> The first time I heard Devin Davis\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <em>Lonely People of the World Unite<\/em> (thanks for the recc, Robert!) &#8212; from the opening crash of power-pop chords on <em>Iron Woman<\/em> all the way through to the warbly, plaintive <em>oooos<\/em> over acoustic strumming on <em>Deserted Eyeland<\/em> &#8212; I fell in love. Like, awkward adolescent fawning fangirl love. The record goes by at a blinding pace, with every song a tight, layered and complex composition with breathless energy and vivid, playful and earnest (no air quotes) lyrics. (Speaking of lyrics, Robert first \u00e2\u20ac\u0153heard\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Devin Davis at his wedding when his best man read a passage from <em>Turtle and the Flightless Bird<\/em>. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll pause here for an <em>awwwwww<\/em>.) <\/p>\n<p>Lore has it that Devin took two years to craft this beast during off hours at the recording studio where he worked. He played most of the instruments himself and, I imagine, obsessively added bits and bobs to each song (including multiple years worth of live fourth of July fireworks recordings) until finally collapsing in an exhausted heap and crying out, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Uncle!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I made up that last part, but I hope there was at least a dramatic mic drop and door slam when he put this perfect album to bed.<\/p>\n<p> My \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Best Awesomest Perfect Pop Songs Ever\u00e2\u20ac\u009d playlist starts with Devin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <em>Giant Spiders<\/em>, segues into <em>Shangri-La<\/em>, by the Kinks, <em>Back in the Saddle<\/em> by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, the Velvet Crush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <em>One Thing Two Believe<\/em>, endless repeat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Devin Davis &amp;quot;Giant Spiders&amp;quot;\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_IciYEPjR4oo\"><div id=\"lyte_IciYEPjR4oo\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/IciYEPjR4oo\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\">Devin Davis &quot;Giant Spiders&quot;<\/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\/IciYEPjR4oo\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/IciYEPjR4oo\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Devin Davis &amp;quot;Giant Spiders&amp;quot;\" 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>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Drink<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert:<\/strong> It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so hard to pick a favorite anything, because there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so much good stuff out there. So with all my choices I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just going with whatever is grabbing me lately. I moved to Atlanta about six months ago and my wife and I have really enjoyed being close to the Atlanta Beltline, which is one of those pedestrian-only this-is-where-some-railroad-tracks-used-to-be pathway\/park thing that goes right through the middle of town. There are plenty of restaurants that are right on the Beltline and are great spots for a relaxing happy hour. Our favorite is a place called Ladybird. <\/p>\n<p>It looks like it was designed as an adult\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s memory of what summer camp was like. In other words, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like the restaurant version of the movie Moonrise Kingdom, which is right up our alley. So we go there and have this drink called the Days Gone By. (The menu says it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s made from Pimm&#8217;s No.1, Fords Gin and Second Self Thai Wheat Beer. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbeer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 are the only ingredients I recognize.) It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the perfect fall (which in Atlanta is just late summer) drink to sip while doing some quality people\/dog watching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dayana:<\/strong> Robert can have his fancy-pants frou-frou Pimm\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Wheat Self-Actualized Thai Gin Fa La La drink with fresh Unicorn Tear sprinkles. Me? Just slide any old domestic lite beer my way and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a happy camper. Nope\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter what brand. Lukewarm? No problem. Twist top? Even better. If I need to class it up a bit I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll order a cider (again, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m no brand snob . . . unless the bartender mentions the word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153pear,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in which case, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hells yeah!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d), or a Hefeweizen (because I can pronounce it and it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look weird if I toss in a slice of citrus to cut the beer flavor).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a simple yet sublime pleasure, and just thinking about it can make you feel a little calmer, a little more content.
