You guys, Courtney Barnett is bae!
Listening to her music is like meeting a potential friend and for every new thought, for every piece of information you exchange in the process of learning about each other, you punctuate these thoughts with, 'you too? I thought I was the only one.' There is something mystical, almost ethereal, about meeting someone you have the same thoughts, the same feelings.
Listening to Courtney Barnett is like having a conversation with Mindy Kaling or Tina Fey or Amy Poehler. In fact, the song Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party reminds me so much of Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns). It is like finally understanding that you are going through a quarter life crisis and then decide to take each new day as it comes, however it chooses to show itself.
Listening to Courtney Barnett is like repeating your affirmation, 'I am not weird. I am not weird,' until you believe that but still continue to repeat just in case you forget.
Listening to Courtney Barnett is life!
Two of my favourites from this album:
An Illustration of Loneliness (Sleepless in New York); and
Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party.
