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.

Mitski “My Body’s Made of Crushed Little Stars”
North Carolina, 2015
I think this is my favorite song off the new album.
Lydia Loveless “Same to You”
Arkansas, December 2015.
This is the first song from her new album.
Real, out in 29 days. Yes, a Friday release.
The KLF with Extreme Noise Terror “3AM Eternal”
Live at the Brits, 1992
"The KLF have now left the music business."
Sylvan Esso “H.S.K.T.”
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.
Horse Lords “Truthers”
Baltimore, 2015 "Truthers" is the first song played, but there's another.
This is like my favorite new song this year.
Nat King Cole – It’s Only A Paper Moon
Thanks for the listens this week! I'll leave with music from Nat King Cole and his band.
The Zombies – This Will Be Our Year
Colin Blunstone and Rod Agent preform this Zombies number. I could play this song 20 times on repeat and not get tired of listening.
Dorothy Moore – Misty Blue
Ever hear a song in the background of a tv show that you perks your interest and starts a furious Google search? This gem showed up on an episode of The Americans and I instantly went to Amazon and click the purchase button.
Butch Walker – Only Love Can Break Your Heart
I think everyone has gone down a YouTube rabbit hole and came across something from an artist you never heard of (even though he/she might be semi-popular!) and say "wow! this is nice"
This is what this is. Nice cover of a Neil Young song
