Just a quick post of songs and music videos that I love.

First long-time fave Flora Hibberd with a song called Canopy from the forthcoming album Swirl. So eager to hear this album, because I love Flora Hibberd’s songs and this was also produced by Shane Leonard and features J.E.Sunde at least on this song. I love all these people I’ve never met and they all belong in the imaginary hall of fame of this little music blog.

Next something pretty new for me. I didn’t know singer-songwiter Jake McKelvie before I heard this new album A New Kind of Hat a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had it on heavy rotation lately and like the album a lot. Sometimes it kind of reminds me of Darren Hanlon.

The great St.Lenox is also getting ready to release a new album. Ten Modern American Work Songs will come out on 25th of October on Don Giovanni Records. I always love his songs and music videos too. The first single Rudy is not an exception. Plus there’s a beautiful dog and two beautiful cats there too on the video. What’s not to love.

This song has been out since February, but this not really an active music blog outside of that one weekly new music playlist. But I loved this Fonteyn single back then and still do. So here’s some seventies kinda gold from 2024 to wrap up this tiny blog post.

Last end of the year list is my favorite songs of the year. Same story as with the Finnish ones. Mostly just a huge playlist for the onechordnet history books, because the on-going playlists will eventually move into 2024. I just selected a song of the year and then highlighted a few others that weren’t on the top of the albums list. This playlist is still very much in-progress and there won’t be any kind ranking outside the song of the year. The playlist is currently only on Spotify, but I guess I will add it to other platforms once it’s more ready. I know it doesn’t make a whole lot sense to post these when they are unfinished, but I just want to get these blog posts done and then ease into Christmas without a need to do anything else than adding songs to a playlist. The trouble with compiling these monster playlists is that somewhere along the way I lose the plot and I have no idea what I’ve added and what I haven’t. So I’m pretty sure I will just forget to add something that I really like.

Anyway, that’s all blog stuff for 2023. Thank you for following my new music adventure during the year. It means a lot. Happy holidays and I hope I see you back here when I continue sometime in January.
