ALRIGHT! I have spent countless hours (hundreds? thousands?) behind this desk, writing my second album. As of last night – I’m DONE! I will now find a place to record it and take you with me!

So it’s been a while since I released anything or even hit the road with the live band and I thought I might let you in on what’s going on right now. I’m still alive. I’m still making music. I’ve cut my hair as well, but that’s another story. I want you to know that new songs are coming in from all over.
Some are sitting in the back of the school bus on the way from Valsjöbyn. Some are traveling without tickets on the train from Trondheim. A couple are hanging on for their lives in the back of a dirty Volvo station wagon on the slippery roads of Southern Lappland. Two are flying in with false passports and won’t tell me their names or current location. Some are avoiding the winter in a potato cellar in Gravbränna. One is trying to get on the right train in Stockholm’s underground system. A few are refusing to leave the basement bars of east Oslo while some have long since been sitting in my sofa, reading my Helgonet comics and awaited a lift to the studio. When I have gathered them all in the same room I will not only throw a huge party but I will let you be the first one to know!

All the best,
Jonas

“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!
