With Jill Johnson, on Jill's Veranda, Somewhere in Sweden, Late 2015/Early 2016
(Here billed as Annika Norlin, which probably is easier because she sings songs in English as "Hello Saferide" and in Swedish as "Säkert!", but as Säkert! did an album of English translations of her originally Swedish songs.)
So until I found this, I hadn't seen anything visual from Norlin worth sharing. This makes up for that and more. Fantastic performance, awesome song. If she's not up for more writing in English, an album of Americana self-covers a la Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's Sings Greatest Palace Music would be equally cool. She hasn't toured the US since I learned of her. Would I drive to Chicago if she did again that was the nearest show? Probably, and this video strengthens that.

New York, 2014
Half-jokingly, I called this the "Best kids' song I've heard in ages". It's not just that, but it works like that.
This band reminds me of Postal Service and Lamb. The Lamb comparison is probably because Amelia looks a lot like Lou Rhodes.

Baltimore, 2015 "Truthers" is the first song played, but there's another.
This is like my favorite new song this year.

Okay, um, how about everyone talk about that time... when they dropped their lists?
No one's supposed to read these things anyway, right?
Comin' down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I may go again some day
but for now I'm comin' down.
I think it's time for me to step aside from my role as curator of this place in the schedule, this "column".
I haven't written much here* for months, and I haven't gotten in to much new music besides. I'm kindof tired and bored with music right now and ready to stop hogging the space.
Who would like to take this for a few months on a trial basis? If at the end of some time, you want to give it back, maybe I'll want it back and maybe someone else does. If someone takes it and wants to keep it, I'm not going to want it back.
Let's not make this about whoever claims it first; if more than one person wants it, I'll either pick by next week Wednesday or ask for citizens to vote or something.
*meaning the lead of this "column". The writing isn't necessary; it's just a fun ritual and a place to talk about music. Yet I feel good writing can stir up good discussion. But: anything written as the "post" could just as easily be placed in a comment for the same effect.
OK now, share your random tens!
Here's a track from the "Misc. - AMR" milk crate by the register.
