Throwback Thursday – The Mary Onettes – Pleasure Songs

Today is a special Throwback Thursday because I’m finally getting to see the Mary Onettes tonight at the Cameo Gallery. I had tickets to see them last year but there was a visa issue.  So tonight, I will got with my friend and have him experience some delicious Swedish Dream Pop.

Hailing from my favorite little Swedish town of Jönköping, The Mary Onettes fill our ears with delightful soft easy listening pop.  It’s easy to get swept away into a day dream when their music is playing in the background while I work.

So here is a Throwback from their delightful 2010 album “Tha Mary Onettes” (extra points if you get their play on words).

I’m from Barcelona – Violins

I’ve been slacking, but I promise I have a list and will start bringing you new music again this week.  If not, you can come punch me in my nose!

Here is my first promise that I do.  The video for “Violins” was released last week and it’s great to see the band back together making great music.  I know some of you on the East Coast are dealing with this gnarly snow/ice rain, so hopefully this song will warm you up.

I’m From Barcelona – Violins

So the highly anticipated moment has come, and it’s been far too long of a wait for  lovely band of amazing people and happy hearts to makes it’s come back.  The wait couldn’t have been more worth it!

I was going to wait for the video but I couldn’t hold back my excitement in posting this for you all you guys to listen.  Let me tell you, as soon as I pressed play I got up and started dancing.  So on this cold blistery day, turn up your speakers  and blast this quite delightful song.  Whether you’re enjoying the rain or snow prepare yourself to  dance, clap, jump and sing to this instant poppy pick me up.

Summer Heart – Thinkin of U

Just the other day in my top songs of 2014 I stated that I always anticipate Summer Heart’s releases.   I also have said that their music makes me keep summer in my heart.   Today they have cured both my anticipation and coldness with a delightful new song.     I will let this song assist the three heaters I have pointing at me to warm me up and I suggest you do the same.

The Hanged Man – The Island

My first post of the New Year…how exciting.  Since it’s hard to find stuff that is new two days into the year, I found something rather recent. The Hanged Man is the fairly recently released project of Stockholm based musician Rebecka Rolfart.  “The Island”  is a mystical, sultry and sexy song that takes you on a mysterious musical journey into an unknown realm of darkness.  Luckily, this is so good it’s okay to get lost within it for awhile.
