Klasu’s new digital single Eksyn vuoksesi / Luulin et kuulit came out on Drink Tonight Records a few weeks ago. I’m liking it a lot as was expected. Here’s the music video for the song Eksyn vuoksesi.
Kent Eugene Goolsby – Temper of The Times
Time flies by and I’m failing to keep up with all the new releases. I still try to at least until the end of this year. Then I probably close the books for whole January and think things through and decide whether it’s worth it to keep going as usual, if I don’t have the time or energy to do this as well as I would like to. 90% sure that I will continue one way or another, because music means the world to me and songwriters are the people that both a) make the soundtrack for the good times b) carry me through the dark times and convince me that even the longest night eventually leads into daylight.
Kent Eugene Goolsby is a Nashville-based folk / americana singer-songwriter and his new album Temper of the Times came out on November 11th. It’s a very impressive album and during the last few years Kent has grown to become a really great lyricist. Some of the insightful lines in these songs trigger something good in me by making me recognise patterns in my actions (or lack of actions) that don’t make a whole lot sense. Here’s The Stone from the new Kent Eugene Goolsby album. You can buy/hear the whole thing on his Bandcamp.
Mitä helvettiä nyt taas – Tässä kylmässä kaupungissa (single)
Mitä helvettiä nyt taas is a new Vaasa-based guitar pop group and they just released their debut single Tässä kylmässä kaupungissa. The band might be new, but you might know the members Timo, Andy, Ove and Paati from other great bands such as The Sugarrush and The Lieblings. If you’ve enjoyed anything I’ve done here at onechord.net over the past 15 years, you probably should send them a thank you note, because these boys and the music they made in the late 90’s and early 00’s were a big reason why I started this site back then. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to praise them that much over the years, because they haven’t been the most active musicians at least when it comes to releasing the material they’ve written. I’m already on the verge of quitting and I’m still waiting for the first The Sugarrush full-length to actually come out during the existence of this blog. But hey, now is not the time to convince them to release the unreleased The Sugarrush albums, because we have a new song out and available from their new group and it’s mighty good. Mr. Ken Stringfellow also plays guitar on this awesome pop song, if you need some extra motivation to hit that play button right now. Such a brilliant song.
Christian Lee Hutson – I Just Can’t Fucking Do It Anymore (video)
This week hasn’t been good for humanity. We lost Leonard Cohen, one of the finest songwriters that the world has ever seen and Donald won with that awful hate-driven campaign. In fact, this has been like the darkest nightmare and relating to the title of this new song I Just Can’t Fucking Do It Anymore by the great Christian Lee Hutson isn’t very hard at the moment. It’s a really beautiful song though and if there are actions that it evokes within me, it isn’t quitting. It is to do, to love, to love hard. It’s always love, hate will you get you every time like Nada Surf used to sing. I Just Can’t Fucking Do It Anymore is a brilliant song and I’m very much looking forward to the next Christian Lee Hutson full-length. The fact that I never wrote about the previous one still haunts me, because I have it and I love it.
