“Samtidigt, en timme från stan”

Out today: a free EP in Swedish under my birth name! I have written new lyrics to four of my favorite songs from my old heroes Teenage Fanclub, Motorpsycho, Big Star and Beth Orton. You can download the songs and watch the accompanying videos at http://www.jonasjonsson.net/ Here’s a video my father made for my take on Teenage Fanclub’s “Did I Say”:

Being September 1st I have posted the new Current Favorites list and Monthly Spotify Playlist, so head over to the lists section!

I will post two new lists at the first day of every month, as I wrote in a post further down. A ten song Spotify playlist and a Current Favorites list with five movies, books, places etc. that I enjoy at the moment. I have just posted the lists for August, so head over to the lists section!

I said a while back ago that there will be no shows in Sweden this fall, but when you’re asked to headline on a Saturday in the best club in the country there’s just no way to turn that offer down. Therefor; Bedroom Eyes live @ Debaser Slussen, Stockholm, Saturday August 13th 2011. bob hund and Sophie Rimheden are DJing.

We’ve found some long lost photographs from the recordings sessions at Ocean Sound Recordings in 2008. I have barely seen these shots myself but I think they pretty closely captures the essence of those days on Giske that definitely made the songs sound the way they do. This is just the first round of studio pictures, there are tons more but we need some time to sort them out. Head over to the photographs section for the first 70 shots.

I am so glad to invite you inside my new home! There’s a lot of new things that I think you should check out; don’t forget the Norwegian tour that follows the Norwegian release of my debut album “The Long Wait Champion” in September (more dates to follow); the video section with some footage you might not have seen; but first and foremost I think you should indulge yourself in my favorite feature – the current weather forecast from Föllinge.

Some of you might remember that I used to post some lists on MySpace a while back ago. Since that site has met a slow and ugly death I decided to post my lists here instead. At the start of every month I will post two new lists; a Spotify list with ten songs that I currently enjoy and a Current Favorites list with five books, movies, places etc. that I find exiting. So with start August 1st I suggest you start popping by the lists section.

The biggest “thank you” possible goes out to the amazing Henric Boija for all the time, talent and effort he has put into creating this site.

See you soon!

All the best,
Jonas
