My new favorite quarantine activity is taking a long walk while listening to a musical. This week, my selection was Hadestown which took a couple of long walks to get through. I’m not the biggest fan of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, but I adore the Hadestown production and the Anais Mitchell penned soundtrack inspired by the Greek tragedy. For my next walk, I’ve cued up Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express. Fun fact: I was in a production of Starlight Express when I was much much younger. Thankfully, it was a roller-skate free interpretation.
What else have I been listening to? Last week I was moved by livestreams from James Gillespie, King No-One, Full Colour, Tones and I, and Joe Pug who did my fave of his albums, Windfall, in full. Plus, The Wrecks released an album on Friday so I’ve had that one on repeat. Last week also began Zane Carney’s new residency on the Twitch platform. This will be something to look forward to every Friday.
Here’s what else I’ve mapped out so far, streaming from all over the world on Facebook (FB), Instagram (IG), YouTube (YT), Twitch, and more!
