Hello and welcome to Happy to Be Here, the show for Recovering Perfectionists and the

perpetually curious about what to read, eat, watch, think about, and delight in wherever

you might happen to be. I'm your host, Greta Johnson, and I am so excited that you are here.

I almost did not put out an episode this week because it is my birthday week and I am my own boss and if you know anything about a tourist,

it's impossible to make them do something they do not want to do. So I sat down and thought about

what would be a very fun but also easy episode to put together.

And I thought about longtime friend of the show, Kristen Curtis, who is the morning show host

and assistant music director at WXPN in Philadelphia.

She's just always a delight.

She is my main source of cool new music.

And she is a fellow

Taurus. So I thought Kristen could come on and share a couple of songs that we can enjoy this

summer. Kristen, welcome to happy to be here. Thank you so much for having me back, Greta. I was

thrilled that you invited me on the show again. Love talking about music with you.

What's the first song you brought us today? So because you've so kindly invited me on,

I thought, why not take the opportunity to uplift a Philadelphia-based artist who is named

Xenadelphia. This is a track from her new EP called The Boutique. This is River.

Music is a track from her new EP called The Boutique. This is River. Me or him, I'm somewhere in between the things I've lost and the things I'll get from losing

either way I'll leave some behind

but I'm dying to do some different this time

It's so swoony.

Oh, isn't it?
