Just want to lose yourself for a rainy afternoon, an evening in or a lost weekend? Here are some snackable options to binge fast.
It just doesn’t seem to be within my arsenal to come up with a proper term for bingeing jazz – so have at it – but taking a tour of a year’s best albums is binge-worthy, nonetheless. Check out the vibraphone vibes, cats!
The “5 Minutes That Will Make You Love…” series at the NYT is genius. This has lunch binge written all over it, people! I highly, highly encourage you to check this out, if only to get a taste of the series.
What, you never heard of a Solar Binge set to an hour of far out music? Well, pal, you’ve missed out. This thing’s been around for a whole week, and it is MESMERIZING. Like, 20 million gigabytes of data mesmerizing. Thanks, NASA!
Hey, anything with Janelle Monae is an automatic draw, IMHO. But what’s especially interesting about a second season of Homecoming is… that there is a second season, at all. CNN explains it well, and it’s a bit of an eye opener about where things might be going. And also… Janelle Monae!
Surely, this list by Bright Side overlaps all over the place with our previous Mini-Series binge post, right? Nope! So just keep diving in to get more ideas for short runs you can gobble down this weekend or over the next week. Variety, that’s some yummy stuff.
If you’re still in the stay-inside mode, why not accomplish something by crushing through an entire mini-series in a weekend blast? Screenrant has a nice crop of goodness for you here, with the easy-to-miss Maniac particularly catching my eye. Have a great weekend, all!
Is bingeing on a playlist of cello music really a binge at at? Well, if bingeing is diving into something and gobbling up, even in five minutes chunks, then yes it is! The cello has a unique and amazing voice, with a higher range than most people think. And like the violin and viola, its expressiveness can be thought of as similar to that of a human voice. There’s 90 minutes of music here that you can play right now. Thanks for sharing such beauty and brains, NYT!
Seriously, click the link and watch the trailer. A good friend in LA turned me on to this show, and it is the exact reason –along with a whole lot of other great and interesting shows – you should consider getting Hulu now!
Ladies and gentlemen, start your long weekends! Yes, there is gardening to do and cookouts to cook, but when TV time comes, you also have the opportunity to go pole to pole and some short-run series. It’s only a slight stretch goal (!) and this list from Wired has you covered.
This has all the makings of an easy two-week binge. The NYT has gathered up a bunch of music documentaries that you can work your way through in no time. So sit on down, turn it up and give yourself a nice musical kick off to this strange summer of staying at home.
If you’ve never binged a bunch of Tiny Desk concerts, you’re really missing something. And don’t ya know… here’s your chance! To me, it’s like a very intimate version of what I always imagined those old rock ‘n roll reviews to be like… a couple of songs, then on to the next band. And a great way to find some new faves, people:)
