Hey there! Here are 10 gems I found this week:

  1. Nelly Furtado on NPR’s Tiny Desk (I remember watching the music video for ‘Promiscuous’ on VH1 as a kid, so this was an immediate childhood flashback). Sabrina Carpenter had fun on SNL last weekend. Singer-songwriter Victoria Canal reimagines “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus, transforming it into a softer version. Clairo announced her new album, Charm with her single, “Sexy to Someone”. Adrianne Lenker from the band Big Thief plays live in a castle.

  2. Apple Music names The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill the #1 greatest album ever made. Master interviewer Zane Lowe has an hourlong conversation with Billie Eilish and her brother/producer Finneas, digging deep into their newest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT.

  3. Cheryl Dunye in the Criterion Closet. Fun fact: I had the privilege of meeting Cheryl as a sophomore in college, during a field trip to the San Francisco Film Festival. She’s as cool in real life as she is here.

  4. Up-and-coming creator Sam Snowden made a spec ad for Converse - and a year later got hired to make a real ad for Saucony. Manifestation at work!

  5. DuoLingo founder Luis Von Ahn gives a funny, educational TED talk (~13 min) about making learning as addicting as social media.

  6. Dan Mace, a filmmaker turned YouTuber who’s now Chief Creative Officer for Mr. Beast’s philanthropy channel, blogs about whether views should matter to creatives.

  7. Park Chan-wook’s insane transitions from his T.V. show, The Sympathizer.

  8. If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead and love graphic novels, then Tillie Walden’s newest series Clementine is for you. I recently bought book one and can’t for it to arrive!

Hope you liked this roundup. If you did, consider sharing with a friend :)

See you next week!
