Today's blog post is about a 42-year-old singer/songwriter from Minneapolis who makes her living by designing invitations, menus, and other fine things for festive occasions. In her spare time, Jeaneen Gauthier is playing and singing in a band called Jan. The song Talk of Love from the EP Everything Must Go is as beautiful as the cover. The record label Guilt Ridden Pop is giving away the EP for a symbolic price of three dollars (postage paid if you live in the US).

Talulah Gosh - Talulah Gosh
Talulah Gosh's self-titled song was played at the club on my way home from the Friday I mentioned in the latest post. That was a very nice ending to an enjoyable evening. I wonder if Amelia Fletcher ever sang a better song. Perhaps Shallow on Heavenly's first album, but that would probably be the only one.
On youtube I found a video called "Cesc and the City". The video shows the world's best midfielder Cesc Fabregas in my favourite team Arsenal (that seems to go hand in hand) scoring against Manchester City at the start of this season to the tune of My Boy Says, assisted by the team's most intelligent player Alexander Hleb. The combination of a recorded video sequence from an Arsenal game and the sound of a Talulah Gosh song put together into a video clip must be extremely rare, but I prefer to watch the football videos without music after all. My beloved Arsenal are having a tough period in the league right now, but I support them in both good and bad times.
When I do not think about Arsenal, I plan for the summer and atumn. There is a lot of things to be done now. This will be a tough, but hopefully also rewarding week.

Signed Papercuts - Nothingness
Sooner or later, you come to believe that you already have seen all the bands you want to see. I went to Blekingska with my friend Anna last Friday to see Bridal Shop. By chance, we got to talk to a friend of the band after the show. She asked us what band we most of all wanted to see live. Anna had previously told me that Stars were booked for this year's Accelerator festivial. We both said that we wanted to see Stars live.
In recent days, I had a look at the flights and trains to Stockholm, only to realise that it would be too expensive to go there just for a concert with Stars. I hope that Stars will play at Vega in Copenhagen. Otherwise, I am not very interested in concerts this spring. I came up with the following "list" after I checked the upcoming concerts in this region:
March 28 at Blekingska in Lund - Friday Bridge
April 11 at Mejeriet in Lund - El Perro del Mar
I have seen both of them live before so this concert spring will certainly not bring me any major surprises. It would had been fun to see Marit Bergman again, but her concert is arranged by Kulturbolaget and I will not go there again. Firefox Ak is playing at Mejeriet in April and I like her music but not so much that I would pay 120 SEK in entrance. In that case I rather attend a gig with a small band that surprises me, like Signed Papercuts lit up a small stage on a cold December night.
