Escapology: Modern Cabins, Cottages and Retreats

Escapology: Modern Cabins, Cottages, and Retreats is a string hardcover of modern-day retreats―bucolic adventures by the sea, remote getaways in the woods, and rustic mountain hideouts―to inspire tranquility and quiet living. The authors vehemently believe that cabin time has a remarkably positive impact on our health, wellbeing, and our happiness. Whether it’s a rustic cottage nestled deep within a Nordic forest, a robust mountain lodge in Montana, a  treehouse in Canada, or a steel-walled, one-room “hotel” in Denmark, these shelters share one key aspect in common: they proffer the chance to escape and to and live in harmony with nature.

Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind

In 1960 Ray Charles sat at a piano and changed the world of music forever when he sang out…

“I said Georgia, Georgia, my sweet Georgia
Just that old sweet song
That keeps you Georgia on my mind”

And now today, 60 years later, that beautiful song is at the forefront of all of our minds as we await one of the most important decisions in recent US politics. Bring us home, Georgia.

Rest in peace, Ray Charles.

The fourth studio album by the American folk-rock band Dawes, All Your Favorite Bands, literally made them that, one of the favorite bands of Americana enthusiasts. In a weird year of music, where Uptown funk was what was stealing all the radio noise, fanatics of rock and roll huddled in small haunts and bars absorbing the cool piano tones and sweet strums of a guitar, knowing that what belted out of  Taylor Goldsmith’s vocals was what made them feel whole. And under the dim lights of those vintage LA stages, the songs this album provided will ring true in the city of angles for infinity. This is the perfect vinyl to throw on while embracing the unforgettable fall of 2020.

Among the covers are other classics like John Prine’s Souvenirs and John Cale’s Andalucia. The album is spearheaded by Birds new song Christmas in April, below is what inspired Bird for the track:

“There’s an original tune I wrote in April during the most disorienting phase of the pandemic, when I couldn’t help but wonder where we’ll be when the holidays come, if we could be together or not. I’ve been writing a lot of songs inspired by this uninspiring predicament. Let’s hope they all become obsolete as soon as possible.”

Toss it on to kick off the holiday vibes.
