I visited The Museum Of Natural History recently and remain fascinated with this romantic squirrel scene in which one seems to be reciting poetry to the other. They are truly living their best afterlives providing a few seconds of much-needed sweetness to those that pass by them each day. Love you squirrels, keep on keeping on.
And with that, welcome to the latest WEEKLY NEW WONDERS PLAYLIST featuring the finest songs that have been released over recent days. There’s lots of lustrous heartbreak, anthemic majesty, soul, and riffage to be had in these 16 (!) angels that follow. Damn. That sounded very, very over-the-top. Then again, when it comes to exulting a beautiful song, why not behave like a deranged, hyperbolic monster? Sloppy pop-love forever!
You can listen to the playlist on Soundcloud or Spotify below!
Also, do yourself a favor and spend some time with Mk. Gee’s new album Two Star & the Dream Police! Melodic, ethereal, soulful, scantily clad, a little Prince-y, a smidge-Arthur Russell-ish with an added dab of Stevie Wonder, it’s just plain old gorgeous. You can hear that below too!

PICKING UP ROCKS 
Woo hoo! A fave new album. I was going to head direct to the playlist, but you had me at Prince and Arthur Russell and Stevie Wonder. This is fantastic. Spot on description Hope. Readers – head straight to the track Alesis – you’ll want to hear more. Huge thanks for bringing this to my attention. Love it.
