Björk DJ’ed this the other day and it’s become the Xmas soundtrack of looking at the view from my new flat when falling asleep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SldDENZ_jU

Was thinking it would be fun to make a December will be magic again red hat… Niche.

By far the best Swedish album 2024.

Perfect for a chill run in a dark park at six degrees and rain in the air.

Thanks for the rec @guarino!

Time to update your Tinder profile again: I hope you realize: I’m not for Christmas, I’m for life. 

"All their friends are Califone singers" was what I was thinking after the first listen but it's already growing on the second listen (I do like Califone, but they can be a bit boring).

Still AOTY. Catch her on tour! Last year at primavera I was a bit bored of guitars and randomly walked into the amphitheater where Nia was making the whole crowd dance. Since then I’ve been a huge fan (that was my best gig 2023) and will travel to Copenhagen to see her in a few weeks again (and Cassandra Jenkins two days before!)

Just biked home from a pretty boring Tindersticks gig with this amazing album in my ears. Love it to bits and was home fast! My only 5/5 this year. Start with Unfinished business and continue on with that business!

About the b-side:
I think of this cover a lot more often than the original (Guess I'm Falling in Love by Velvet Underground).

The a-side is the soundtrack of the Swedish left since -98...

Excellent cover, who knew it was fucking ska?

Do you still drink Cheap Beer? Get off my wave is the only ok track. Pretty interesting lyrics though.

I love how the Irish say fucker. Favorite discovery of 2024. Their album is also an AOTY contender.

A near perfect album if it wasn’t for the production. These silences doesn’t work for a 2024 attention span! Also, the best Beatles cover ever made, right?

Nice running to this classic rock masterpiece. Not even their best.

This cd-r is basically their first album so no need to dig it out like I did!

Ran to it and almost got goose bumps from the title track. Besides from that it only slowed me down. Will give it a bit more time but feels pretty dull.

Unpopular opinion: Fontaines DC is a one-hit-wonder with Boys in the better land.

Stockholm Doesn't Belong To Me is sooooo good. The rest is still pretty good.

Kinda like a really boring Karate album.

Really looking forward to seeing Air perform this chill classic on Thursday at Way Out West! Here’s my list of albums you should check out before Way out!

I'm putting some old lists on here and just added the best albums of the 2010s, when I made it a few years ago at the Liztfezt-parties that the creator of this site Mattias is involved with.

I remember when I was going to Primavera Club in Madrid in December 2009 and was checking out the line up and that's when I found Beach House. I didn't listen to anything but for the two weeks leading up to the fest and Teen Dream had already leaked so it's kinda weird that I was listening to the best album of the 2010s in 2009. Trés hipster!

Follow you was ok, otherwise it went out through my speaker while bike messaging and into the void!

Unpopular opinon: Sunny Sundae Smile is MBV's best track.

Fun to realize one of Gothenburg's most interesting new acts took their name from a track off this EP: Sylvie's Head.

The world’s most over rated and boring band? The end of Song for the dead is a little fun. Otherwise soooooo boring. I want some damn rock.

QOTSA should’ve ended their career with their feel good hit.

Yesterday I got a newsletter from Courtney Barnett where one of the shirts she was trying to sell said The city looks pretty when you been indoors and then I woke up in the middle of the night and just had to hear that . It’s great. Not her best album but a lot better than I remember it.

The Homeless Wanderer is one of the best piano pieces ever made. The other pieces are pretty dull.

Colors and the kids is my all-time no one song. I even use to own the domain colorsandthekids.com

It must be the colors and the kids that keep me alive.

I think this is so damn boring?

Song for a friend might be my favorite song of the 2020s. It's perfect. The rest is very Leonard Cohen.

Nothing to Hide is excellent. The rest not so much.

Decemberists have never been for me. Still ain’t.

Love will get you like a case of anthrax. And that’s nothing I wanna catch.

Best album ever?
