One Chord to Another is now 25!

No Comments

When did music blogs become 25 years old? And how old does that make me the music blogger? Time is a weird concept. Yet, here we are. One Chord to Another is quarter of a century old. That’s an achievement and something to be proud of. This definitely has its shortcomings, but doing something just out of love for music for that long shows passion and dedication. There probably should have been a festival, a party or some sort of celebration, but I lacked organizing skills and naturally didn’t have any money. So instead you get this picture of my face that I made with Canva in 15 minutes with my non-existent design skills. Didn’t even bother to get out of the pajamas, but I guess that makes some sense too. There’s bedroom pop and this is a bedroom blog. I appreciate you who treat onechordnet as an actual media and I guess on some level it can be that, but when you send stuff to the editorial office or team this is what the email will find. One middle-aged man in his pajamas.

I believe or at least convince myself to believe that there’s still value in a human curated music blog / playlist that doesn’t care whether something is popular or not. I think the strength of this blog is the continuity and the fact that it goes fairly deep and finds beautiful music that doesn’t (at least yet) get much recognition in that actual music media. I can’t do anything for the Jason Isbells of this world, but for example finding your first ever released song featured in a music blog on the other side of the globe can mean something.

And giant thank you to all the readers and listeners. You make this worthwhile. This won’t ever become viral or reach the masses, but it doesn’t need to because there’s you. It matters to me so much that you follow this whether it’s occasionally or regularly. I also love the fact that many of you are kind of similar music enthusiasts who might spread the music they find here further. I love it when this is a discovery source and any kind of further shares of the music found here is encouraged. No matter whether it’s your own music platform or a bar table conversation with friends. I also want to apologize for being so bad at engaging with you. I’m kind of a shy and quiet person and that applies to my online personality too. But yeah, I should work on that because I appreciate all the interactions and feedback that I get.

Anyway, that’s a wrap for the first 25 years of onechord.net. Who knows how long it will continue. I guess this has been a part of who I am for so long that it’s difficult to see a full complete stop of not doing anything anymore. In my wildest dreams I sometimes think that I should try to do more, but frankly even the current way of doing this takes at least 4-5 hours of pretty much my every weekend (I take a few weeks off during the year) and that’s a big commitment and sometimes hard to justify. Then there’s of course a lot of time spent listening and finding new music throughout the week, but that’s something that I would do regardless because I love music. However, if you want the blog and the new music weekly to continue all the likes, shares and follows are much appreciated. The metrics aren’t that important, but curators don’t get any stats so without them it’s kind of difficult to tell am I just sending songs to a void.

And lastly if you want to celebrate the 25 years of One Chord to Another, buy a record or see a live a concert. I mostly just make a weekly playlist these days, but what I love the most are albums and concerts. So while this has its value as a grass root discovery source, live shows are where the true magic happens. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #385

No Comments

Another late Sunday edition of the new music weekly, because I spent the weekend in Helsinki. Lemonator and The Sugarrush shared the stage and it was perfect nostalgic blast. Loved every minute of it. A very fitting start to this birthday week too, because onechordnet hits 25 years next Saturday and this blog probably wouldn’t exist without those two bands. Years have added various (especially rootsy) layer to this, but Finnish guitar pop / power pop band was where this all started. Anyway, back to the quarter of a century celebration on Thursday, if I manage to put together some blog post for that. Here’s the new music of the week.

There’s new albums from Angela Autumn, Twilark, Starpainter, Jon McKiel, The Tubs, Joel Cusumano (EP), Josephine Network (I missed the earlier 2026 album which is wonderful too, but there’s already another one), The Jimmy C, Motorcycle (missed this a week ago), Stephen Egerton, David Faul (also a week old), Jason James, Pokey LaFarge, Ali Holder (EP), Sara Beth Go (EP, also a week old), CJ Wiley (EP), Misha Panfilov, Valerie June (EP), Eli “Paperboy” Reed and Jake Sheppard.

Finnish part has albums from Lintudisko and Viivi Rättyä, EP from Perkeet and singles from Tero-Petri & Korvaamattomat, Ruissalo Amping, Hanhani feat Markus Perttula, Gim Kordon, M and Maa Ilmasta.

International single of the week came from Sylvie feat Alex Amen. I can’t wait to hear the new Sylvie album. Don’t lock your AOTY ballots too early, because that beauty comes out in early November. Some other early faves came from Craig Benedict Valentine Badynee, Moby Beefheart, Jude Brothers, Flora Hibberd, Clara Man, Teenage Fanclub, Margo Cilker, Charlie Kaplan.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters when I try to decide do I keep making this for another quarter of a century. Haha. Anyway, back next week with another one of these things. Most likely some kind of 25 years celebration kind of thank you post before that on Thursday. If not here than on instagram or whatever. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #384

No Comments

Another week, another new music weekly.

There’s new albums from Mary Margaret Cozart, Hollow Hand, Uncle Steven, Leon Majcen, Paige Plaisance, Lena Rich, Benjamin Tod, Rose Gerber, Embla & The Karidotters, Told Slant, Rubber Band Gun, The Unbelieving Dog, Sharp Pins, Radio Days, Soft Science and Holly Throsby. Oh and Lily Seabird is out on physical/download, but won’t hit streaming until early October.

The highlight of the Finnish music was a new surprise album from The New Magnetic North. Other Finnish gems of the week are album from Kanerva and singles from Pekka Laine & Enchanted, Janne Tapion Sisäinen Avaruus, A.Takalo, aamu aurinko, Morimus, STINAKO & Njet Njet 9, Litku Klemetti, Markus Krunegård & Maustetytöt, Saaramaija Zorawski and Ville Ahonen.

A lot of of gold in the international singles section too. Some early favorites there came from Kacy Lee Anderson, Max Bien Kahn, Sam Burton, Lou Turner, Frances De Vargas, Joel Cusumano, Plastic Family, Emmett Morris.. again just to name a few. Also a revisit to St. Yuma’s wonderful single. Full Time Hobby recently signed St. Yuma and therefore his 2026 album Trout Man temporarily disappeared and they are doing the release cycle again. So you may have heard them here before, but I love St. Yuma and that album so I’m going to feature the singles and later the album again (I’m not sure will the album/singles be exactly the same, but I’m sure it’s going to be wonderful). Only problem is that if the full thing won’t come out in 2026, do I feature the album as one of my 2026 AOTY or save it for 2027 if the blog/world still exists at that point.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. One more new music weekly as a music blog that is younger than quarter of a century. That one is probably late Sunday night edition, because I will be going to Helsinki to see Lemonator and The Sugarrush play at Tavastia on Saturday. That’s kind of related to the blog birthday too, because those bands are a big reason that this blog exists (back then this was about Finnish pop music and this expansion towards rootsy side of things came later). Kind of a lovely coincidence that the bands that inspired me to start this thing decided to make a comeback tour during this exact time. Especially because I was too lazy, broke and inefficient to set up any kind of 25 years celebration for the blog. So yeah, see you at Tavastia on Saturday and another of these things then on Sunday night. Love.

1. Mary Margaret Cozart – Art of Loitering (Beginner’s Luck, Starbird Galaxy Sounds)

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #383

No Comments

Back at this normal routine. I spent the last weekend in Sweden at Stockholm Roots Festival and therefore this one tries to cover the new music of the last two weeks. This is again longer than anyone will listen even though I deliberately left out some singles not to mention all the stuff I simply missed. One would think it would easier for me to do this biweekly or monthly, but there’s always so much new music that two weeks at once feels overwhelming and therefore I prefer the weekly schedule. Anyway, here’s what I managed to put together.

New Le Ren can be the album of the week(s), because I’ve been a fan for years and this new album is again gorgeous. There’s also 36 other great new albums / EPs here from Elanor Moss, The Bird Calls, Two Runner, Mama’s Broke, Blaine Todd, Riley Downing, Son Volt, The Jayhawks, Billy Strings, Kimmi Bitter, James Steinle, Jess Parker, Laurelyn Dossett, Ken Pomeroy (cover EP), Sera Cahoone, David Quinn, Ned Collette, Dogwood Tales, Lambchop, Asher White, Graham Hunt, The Afghan Whigs, Dinosaur Jr, Squirrel Flower, The Bures Band, Natalie Wildgoose (EP), Black Duck with Elena Setien, Josh Gilligan, Shredded Sun, M G Boulter & Jenny Sturgeon, Hannes Aitman, Chris Pierce, Tony Hannah, Alicia Blue, Jason McNiff and Crow vs Lion. That took a while to write a lion let alone listen.

The highlight of the Finnish part of this the wonderful new Laura Moisio single. Also very fond of new V.Härkönen, The High Tydes and Ullalintulampi singles. Other Finnish gems of the past two weeks are albums from SATANEN and Neiti Aika plus singles from Bizzarro & Jukka Nissinen, Hamina, Tomi Puukko, Eidetic Dreams, Vet Pillows, Lempi Elo, Eereka & Miika Leivo and Figaro.

A lot of gold on the international singles too. Some early faves came from Chris Lyons, Ian Noe, Izaak Opatz, Jeffrey Silverstein, Michael Nau, Mac Cornish, Pug Johnson, Willi Carlisle, The Goods, Steady Holiday, Claire Cronin.. again just to name a few. I have lot of listening to do.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Good luck anyone trying to listen and digest all of that six plus hours of new music. Back to weekly schedule next week and at least a bit more reasonable amount of music then. It will still be too long don’t get me wrong. I know I probably should make a more tightly curated 20 song selection or something, but this is how it is for now. I guess anyone can listen as much or as little as they want to. Love.
