2020 has had a slow start. Or rather, it has had no start. It feels like time has been standing still since December. Sweden is grey, visually and mentally. But, January skimmed through and done with, now it's February, and I'm ready to shake the dust off and give this new decade a chance to redeem itself. New colours on the blog, new tunes in the play queue. Let's start the year here.
LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean
Waking up, furtively. Warming to it, warming to it... until BLAM you throw the blanket off and jump up into the cold dark dawn. This winter malaise does not wash off; you have to dance yourself clean.
Tierra Whack - Unemployed
One of the best things that happened in 2019 was this song and video, and I didn't even catch it til this year. Luckily we live in a culture where everything lives forever on the internet. And soon I intend to be unemployed with gusto, preferably with this as my recurring soundtrack.
"Are you ok?" Please don't ask that.
Fattaru - Hörde Jag Skål
I'm frustrated, lethargic, disappointed with myself, but in the long run I'm fucking determined not to accept a boring life. Did I hear 'cheers to that!'?
Lars Hollmer - Boeves Psalm
A melody for starting on a new page.
Louis Armstrong & Velma Middleton - Baby, It's Cold Outside
I'm now feeling like I've defrosted a bit. One way to keep the temperature up is with old school, jocular, innuendo. With mutual consent and understanding like with Louis and Velma of course.
