I know I am starting to get nostalgic when my iPod starts crowding up with cover songs.
Oh to be in 1969 again...at the 5 and Dime?
Magnet is Norwegian folk singer Evan Johansen. Well a Norwegian who sings American folk music...not Norwegian folk music...which looks like this. Gemma Hayes is an Irish singer songwriter who is also incredibly beautiful. Together they make the perfect match to cover Dylan, this video is American Gothic come to life:
A more recent cover of Miike Snow by Sky Ferriera. There wasn't a real video, but I though this worked great as a visual eulogy, not that the 17-year-old Ferriera's death is imminent or anything. Anyway, the song works great when I am reminiscing about 2009.
Here is a concert I wished I been to...
1969,2009, pop, folk, soul, indie. Everyone is sharing sounds and genres and we re standing right in the middle of the globalized music era which I now christen "Post-genre" music. Just going along with the trend, possibly started by evil capitalists trying to create universal free markets (thanks Michael Denning!)...
...or possibly Bill Gates is behind this one too.
