First new music weekly as a 22 years old music blog. That’s quite a long time if I may so. Something to be proud of I guess. Thank you all who still listen/read no matter whether it’s frequently or occasionally. Love you all.
This was a magnificent release week led by the new Margo Cilker album. That’s my album of the week, but there’s several special ones here for sure. Will Johnson was the other I had highlighted in advance, but oh my there’s so much to love this week. We also have new albums from Buffalo Nichols, Stephen Wilson Jr, Van Plating, Matt Paxton & The Pintos (EP), Lady Apple Tree, Woods, Dolly Valentine, Viv & Riley, Bahamas, Sarah Jane Scouten, Charlie Kaplan, Corinne Sharlet (EP), Isaac Vallentin, Sarah Mary Chadwick, Mitski, Vagabon and Rachel Sermanni.
The new Janne Westerlund album is the Finnish favorite of the week. Legendary Radiopuhelimet has a new album too. Plus then we have great new singles from Krypta, Lätsä, Vino Puu, Sir Liselot and Favourite Colours.
Julie Arsenault and Gonzalez Smith can share the international song of the week honors. They are quite different, but I love them both. Other early faves came from Katsy Pline, Skyway Man, Kyle Cox, Will Payne Harrison feat Tabitha Weeks, William Alexander, Peter Oren, Willy Tea Taylor & Fellership.. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Thanks again for the past 22 years and I hope you stay with me as long as this sound adventure continues. I have no idea, but at least right now I don’t have plans to quit. Who knows whether that will change. But yeah. Love love love. Back next week with the episode #250. Another milestone on the horizon there.

Oh and do buy the vinyl/cd/download. Spotify and other streaming services are perfect for these introductory purposes, but try to buy at least the music that matter the most to you
I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to Tidal. This means a few tracks might be missing from the Tidal version, if they are not available on that platform. Usually it’s 1-3 tracks that are not on Tidal. There’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.
If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.
