it's a cover of wendy rene. this song was my favorite moment from the lykke li and el perro del mar show. in my memories, it was a lot more intense when performed at lambi. but this lower profile version is still a candy on this tuesday morning.

Sufjan Stevens - The Lakes of Canada

2007-11-13T10:29:00.000-08:00

This is pre-loved material, but i'm getting back to it today, I was tired of opening the video page to restart it over and over. So I made a geek of myself and extracted/edited an mp3 file out of it.

From Pitchfork : Sufjan Stevens plays a solo banjo version of "The Lakes of Canada". While that may sound like a tailor-made Sufjan title, it's actually a cover of a song by The Innocence Mission from their 1999 album Birds of My Neighborhood.

I get such a great feeling from watching this video. You might not understand the point of a gorilla advertising for some milk chocolate. But the idea is to make you smile, just like milk chocolate makes you smile.

Une chanson triste

2007-06-17T20:19:00.000-07:00

This video was posted the day after I saw Loney, Dear's live gig. This song, Le Fever, was delivered with so much emotion... the eighty-ish persons in Club Lambi were surely wow'ed by the performance. Bravo la Blogotheque for all your amazing Concert à emporter. Notice the Swedish accent when Emil says "une chanson triste"...

It's not new material, but it's quite new to me. This rare track from Jens Lekman once was available on his label website, Secretly Canadian, it no longer is. It's beautiful, slow paced, and insistent... There is not much I have to say about it, but maybe there is much for you to enjoy.

Turn me on

2007-06-02T11:53:00.000-07:00

I have been obsessed with this video for a while now. It should have been my first post, but Miranda came in my life with better timing. If you can enjoy the particular voice, I wish for you to fall in love with this Casady sisters’s performance. I have spine shivers when I see Bianca moving those gray sweatpants and I can’t believe Sierra’s trumpet sound. I have seen other video performance of this song, but I believe this is the best one. Somehow, magic happened. If I could time-travel, this is one moment in history I would go to. Please try not to think of the original version by Kevin Little.

It's a great feeling to see 2 things you love, independently one from the other, together. This week, I had such feeling when I was sent this video of Blonde Redhead.

Staring the amazing Miranda July, the video couldn't be more artsy. If the video turns your moment from gray into blue, you might want to see her movie Me and you and everyone we know.
