CARRY ON ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR TRAVEL BAG
Body/Head
Bill Nace’s transportive mix of
experimental, psychedelic, footwork,
jazz, and more:
Jake Meginsky - “sgriob”
Odwalla88 - “Untitled”
DJ Rashad - “I Don’t Give a Fuck”
Jimmy Giuffre - “Trav'lin Light”
Schurt Kwitters - “Untitled”
The Frame - “Doctor Doctor”
Harmonia - “Watussi”
Spacemen 3 - “An Evening of
Contemporary Sitar Music”
Mat Brinkman- “Track 2”
(Off of Here Come the Mixes)
Myriam Gendron - “Solace”
“It’s kind of my life,” says Bill Nace about
traveling. “I’ve been touring for like
ten years so it’s kind of just what I do.”
Before forming the noise duo Body/
Head with Kim Gordon in 2012, touring
might have meant in the states and in a
van. Now it means walking around cities
like Istanbul, with a fan they met at their
show the night before.
Body/Head’s music exists in the distance,
down a long corridor that elongates as
you walk through it, like an apparition
grounded by familiar sounds of feedback
of guitar and sleepily primal vocals,
taking new form when played live. They
utilize every corner of the stage, weaving
through amps and mic stands without
infringing on the other’s space, two
people stuck inside the same dream. “It’s
the only [band I play in] with vocals. And,
you know, it’s Kim. I mean, touring with
someone who people have known and
followed for 30 years is just a different
thing on a lot of levels.”

Heidi Bivens
Coast to Coast Playlist
The talented
fashion stylist,
editor, and
costume designer
may have
undressed
the cast of
Harmony Korine’s
Spring Breakers,
but this is not
a glow sticks
and margaritas
playlist. Heidi
jet sets with an
elevated mix of
punk rock, hiphop, and hypnotic
dance tracks.
“Two Weeks” - FKA twigs
Current girl crush’s break out single.
She has an original sound and sick
vogueing dance moves.
“Monument” - Röyksopp and Robyn
Hypnotic song and lyrics. Long at 9:57
but Robyn makes every second count.
“One More” - Elliphant
A mash up of Iggy Azalea and M.I.A.
from Iceland.
“7/11” - Beyoncé
New dance anthem with music video
inspired by Spring Breakers, no doubt!
“Shabba” - ASAP Ferg
The beat and track have that dark
edge I like in a lot of recent hip hop.
“Angels” - ASAP Rocky
Nice follow up beat to “Shabba.”
“Smoke Chambers” - Wiz Kalifa
Mac DeMarco sample here, who I am
kinda obsessed with.
“Let Her Go” - Mac DeMarco
This guy can do no wrong in my
ears. Salad Days is one of the most
underrated albums of 2014.
“Put Your Number in My Phone” - Ariel Pink
Love this single off Pom Pom. Silverlake
hipster anthem.
“Honey Bunny” - Girls
Similar Cali vibe to Ariel Pink. Upbeat and fun
to listen to.
“Everything is Embarrassing” - Skye Ferreira
I love Skye’s voice and with production from
Dev Hynes, this track never gets old.
“Oblivion” - Grimes
Love this little weirdo. This song and video
blew me away when it first came out.
“Stoned and Starving” - Parquet Courts
Reminds me of old punk noise bands I used to
listen to.
“Waiting Room” - Fugazi
A hardcore anthem. I’m nostalgic for Fugazi; I
grew up going to their D.C. shows at Fort Reno.
“Whole Wide World” - Wreckless Eric
A classic! Love the energy of this song.
“Roadrunner” - The Modern Lovers
I’m an east coast gal, so I naturally have a
fondness for all things Jonathan Richman.
“The Passenger” - Iggy Pop
One of my favorite songs to travel to, and Iggy
can do no wrong.
