"Love Your Days" by Cherokee
Curated by: Jared Paul
Spotify: bit.ly/LoveYourDaysCherokee
Genre: #electrosoul
As I sit in Kauai, Hawaii amidst my first real intentional break (though I clearly can’t fully disconnect) from the madness that has been Rock With This, I reflect on what has been and what will be. To fully immerse myself in my greatest passion - music - comes with so many gifts and as I’ve found, a couple of drawbacks. Being forced to do anything every day isn’t easy. We don’t take days off and I can’t recall many non-sleeping moments the past 16 months where I haven’t been grinding. I've worked through nearly every “vacation”, meal, movie, social gathering, etc. And yep, it’s been 100% my choice.
When deciding which song I wanted to write about today I wanted the title to make sense for the moment and for the vibe to feel apt for my current locale. The title makes sense for obvious reasons. I believe it is so important to create a life for yourself where you get more opportunities to “Love Your Days” then not. While I do believe having certain resources makes this reality easier, I think it’s actually more a state of mind. The great Eddie Vedder once said "It's funny how things change so much, it's all state of mind". I couldn't agree more Ed. Warts and all, I'd rather be living out a dream of delivering great unheard music to people around the world more than any other job I’ve ever had.
On the vibe front, French producer Cherokee delivers a groove that is choice for a few moments of reflection while watching waves break in the distance. The sun-kissed synths and homogeneity very well might drop you into a state of bliss and tranquility while pumping your soul full of optimism. I can’t fully make out what the lyrics are saying, nor could I find them via searching, but the title alone is good enough a reminder to love the precious days that we have.
Mahalo my friends.

Old Graffiti by Bibio
Curated by: Mike Floeck
Spotify: http://bit.ly/OldGraffitiBibio
Genre: #indierock
Stephen Wilkinson has figured out a thing or two about timing and tempo: Ribbons is Wilkinson’s tenth album as Bibio, and although his tenure resulted in a bit of diversion and experimentation, his predominant lane resembles folk music and experimental electronica without breaking a sweat about the comparison. Ribbons sits right in this lane: “Old Graffiti” settles down like a fresh spring rain shower of medium density, pattering against the windowsill, drops randomly striking at different angles and intensities. Wilkinson’s voice apparates from seemingly nowhere, echoing short syllables that he coos and barks through the song.
Bibio has credited phonemes as influences for his uniquely bizarre lyrical phrasing and articulation. Phonemes, per Merriam-Webster, are “[members] of the set of the smallest units of speech” that separate and identify one syllable from another. An example is when two words end in different consonants yet sound phonetically similar, e.g. “tad” and “tab”. The phonemes would be the “d” and “b” sounds, distinguishing the two words but just barely. You feel the tension of the “p” hanging on Wilkinson’s lips as he sings “makeup” and the word echoes rapidly behind; you sense the restraint as he transitions from the hard “e” sounds in “graffiti” into a yodel, howling over the plains of his percussion-driven arrangement.
Speaking of percussion, Bibio says “Old Graffiti” began with it whereas most of his compositions begin on guitar. He was “inspired by listening to old Batucada and Capoeira recordings,” both influenced by African percussion and native to Brazil. This broad-reaching influence lends an exotic air to “Old Graffiti”, a lost gem in a modern world. Bibio - Old Graffiti](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L2ZZWXpR8QY/mqdefault.jpg)
