Have you all been watching TV and Dramas and Movies these days and seeing characters hug or hold hands or even just get on the subway and mentally just yell “NO TOUCHING”? No? It’s just me? OK then.
Anyway. Can you tell the isolation is starting to get to me? The sun is finally shining though, and my place has windows on all sides, so at least I can enjoy that for a bit before sunset. Except that of course the sun only came out 45 minutes before lockdown went into effect, because of course it did. Hopefully I can get a nice, socially distanced, walk in tomorrow before I completely lose my mind.
Today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite little indie bands, Tangerine. They haven’t released a ton of music yet, but what they have is great. Their lyrics always feel nostalgic and remind me of of sunshine and beach days with friends. They have this great old-school almost 50s/60s pop sound but with a 90s garage band vibe, all mixed together with the ease I associate with California bands (though they originally hail from Seattle). Interestingly, I discovered them through the blog “Korean Indie” as the lead vocalist and the drummer are half-Korean sisters.
I love to put on Tangerine when the weather is grey and a little auditory sunshine is in order. I had a hard time picking just one song by them because they’re all so great. “Sunset” is great because it makes me tap my feet; “Wild at Heart” has an almost be-bop sound to it; “Fever Dream” is an earworm in the best way. Their latest EP, White Dove showed their music was growing and advancing – “Cherry Red” is dreamy and nostalgic, “Local Mall” has a great 80s vibe.
I decided on “Sly Moon” in the end because I think it showcases all their best qualities. It’s catchy and fun, and I never really get sick of it. I hope it brings a little auditory sunshine to your day today.
I was rewatching Kingdom season 1 in anticipation of watching season 2 tomorrow, and honestly found the scenes with crowds more disturbing than the zombies themselves. I was cringing because there was so much touching. Stop touching each other!
I’m missing touching so much! I can’t not to touch my little children, they’re depending on it, I won’t do this royal cold raising of my children… Fortunately we’re living in the countryside where houses are within 100 meters from each other.

Not just you. I had a hard time watching people make lettuce wraps for others and feed them. It was hard to watch.
Hopefully, there will be more sunshine for you~
