Miss Li with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Konserthuset, Göteborg. November 6 2009.



When I first saw the ad for this show I was confused by the pairing of Miss Li and Lasse Berghagen (to be honest I'm still a bit confused). But I just couldn't miss the opportunity to see Miss Li with a full Symphony Orchestra so I bought tickets for me and my mom...


Lasse started with a few songs, it's not my music so I won't comment on it, atleast it was interesting to watch and listen to the symphony orchestra. Then Miss Li came out wearing the same cute red dress she wore when I saw her at Peace & Love 2008. Her first song was a fleshed out version of Dancing The Whole Way Home. It was followed by I'm sorry, he's mine, not my favorite song of hers but the orchestra added a new dimension to it and made it interesting again.


Then came the first big surprise of the show, Miss Li doing a wonderful cover of Ding dong, a song Lasse sang in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973. A fun song that was perfect for her, sounded like a song she could have written for her first album but sung in swedish. It was also the song that got the greatest response from the audience. It would have been even better if Linda would have sung the "Ram-taram-ta-dulje-dum-doo" herself though. Please record it and release it as a b-side or something... :)


The next surprise was the song I was hoping for the most... the first ever live performance of The Boy In The Fancy Suit. One of the best songs from Dancing The Whole Way Home. I guess the reason it hasn't been played earlier is because of all the strings. So this was the perfect show to play it and it sounded wonderful.


The last of her own songs was Oh Boy that got a great reworking with the orchestra, a fun version with tuba and stuff. Usually that song ends in total chaos but it looked like Linda was fighting to hold back to end it in the very controlled chaos of a full symphony orchestra... :) Then they did another Berghagen song, Min Pappas Stora Skor as a duet.


Me and my mom had a fun night out and the few Miss Li songs made it worth the ticket and left me wanting more. I would love to see her do a whole show like this on her own with more of her slower songs that's often left out of the ordinary shows and mixing it up with covers of old jazz, blues, country, 60's soul and more 60's schlager. Imagine her singing April Stevens' Teach Me Tiger, I Want A Lip or Love Kitten, something by Peggy Lee or Julie London... or Lill-Babs' En tuff brud i lyxförpackning, Towa Carson's Alla har glömt or Loretta Lynn's Fist City, that one would fit her perfectly! Or maybe something by Tom Waits, Janis Joplin or I Want You by Bob Dylan... I could go on. I think she could pull off any of those and make it work.

Top Artists
1. The Beatles - 628 scrobbles
I confess that I am one of the many suckers who shelled out a crapload of money to buy the remasters that came out in September. They certainly sound better than the original '87 CD releases, but unless you have a really good stereo system (which I don't) the difference isn't big enough to be worth all that money. Still, at least I finally completed my collection and now I'm forced to admit that there are some very good songs in their early catalog.

2. Bob Dylan - 486
This is all back-catalog listening. Dylan released two albums this year, neither of which I bought. And based on the reviews, I don't intend to.

3. Opeth - 476
This is mostly back-catalog listening. Opeth released Watershed in '08 and I still had it on heavy rotation for much of this year. I don't think it was their best album to date, but it was very good and I like the direction they're heading in. I'm looking forward to a new album sometime in 2010.

4. Johann Sebastian Bach - 466
What is there to say? Timeless.

5. Mastodon - 413
I discovered Mastodon late last year. I bought Leviathan in December '08 and by the middle of this year I'd bought their complete catalog. Crack The Skye is my absolute favorite album of '09. From what I hear there'll be no new album in 2010 which is fine with me since (a) I'll still be listening to Crack The Skye on heavy rotation for a while and (b) I have no idea how they can possibly top themselves.

6. Bruce Springsteen - 412
In one sense this is all back-catalog listening. The newest Springsteen album I own is The Rising from 2002. But earlier this year I bought The River from 1980. It's a mixed album. There are great songs like the title track and "Hungry Heart" and there are no bad songs. But unlike most Springsteen albums, it felt like a collection of random songs; their sum was no greater than the parts.

7. Marisa Monte - 390
Love her voice. Always have, probably always will. And I absolutely love the lyrics that Arnaldo Antunes writes for many of her songs. Her last album was in 2006; Here's hoping there'll be another one in 2010.

8. Pink Floyd - 357
I have finally come to terms with the fact that I only like 70's Pink Floyd. I gave up trying to like their psychedelic stuff from the 60's and I've always been lukewarm about their glossy cinematic rock from the 80's. I used to own their entire catalog but now I'm selling everything pre-Meddle and postThe Wall to free up some space on my CD shelf. Still, I like the stuff from the 70's so much that I don't expect them to drop out of this top-10 list next year.

9. Iron Maiden - 349
Like Pink Floyd, I've come to accept the fact that I don't like Iron Maiden as much as I once did. With the exception of Brave New World and a few scattered tracks, I think most of their post-Powerslave output is pretty weak. Also like Pink Floyd, I'll probably start selling some of their CDs to make room on my shelf.

10. Metallica - 348
After all these years, still one of my favorites. Death Magnetic was a good comeback album after the underrated but ultimately unsuccessful experiment that was St. Anger. And though it came out in 2008, I listened to it pretty heavily throughout most of this year. Who knows when they'll get around to recording another album! In the meantime there's a lot of good stuff in their back catalog to keep me satisfied. Maybe I'll revisit Ride The Lightning sometime in 2010.

I knew I needed to take a look at the Grammy nominations list when I saw separate Twitter tweets from Mandisa (@MandisaOfficial), Ashley Cleveland (@AshleyCleveland), and Weird Al Yankovic (@AlYankovic) mentioning that they got nominated! All favorites of mine! As is traditionally the case, I recognize quite a few names but couldn't sing you the songs (I've never been much of a pop-culture junkie), but I did think it was cool to see nominations for Seal, Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi, Hall & Oates, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, even Bob Dylan and a number of other artists who are clearly still going strong even though they got their starts when I was just a kid. Remember back when you were old if you were 30?

I also dig Kelly Clarkson's music; I try to not hold the whole AI thing against her. :)

I see tobyMac got nominated (yay!) for City On Our Knees (meh), and the inevitable Third Day nominations are in there. Jonny Lang got a nomination in the Gospel categories (his Gospel CD is really good stuff!) I like Mary Mary quite a bit... been listening to Mary Mary Christmas this week (that's not the CD that got nominated, BTW). Looks like an interesting bunch of nominations this year!

Selected nominations by the Recording Academy. Awards show airs 31 Jan 2010, on CBS.

It's nice to see the Academy recognize Taylor Swift as a "POP" star--Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Good luck to her where she shines. Willie Nelson's American Classic in Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album? Brad Paisley in Best Rock Instrumental Performance? I don't know about that.

Nice to see George Strait with a nod for Twang. Dierks Bentley & Patty Griffin for Beautiful World too. T. Bone Burnett get's a nomination for Production on Elvis Costello's Secret, Profane & Sugargane. And Neko Case has a bid for Best Recording Package--a good reason if you did the download thing to go find the real live CD. Look for more specifics below.

Get Back: The 21 best albums of the 21st century [part 2]

The Beatles - Love [2006]
It's like seeing the house you grew up in after it appeared on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." - the doors and windows are right where they should be, but the rest of the place looks brand new. Really? All you did was move the picture from the dining room into the kitchen? Well, it looks great in the kitchen!
Anyway, that's how I felt about "Love," The Beatles' collaboration with Cirque Du Soleil. It's a greatest hits album, but mashed-up, remixed and the result is breathtaking. From a surprising new horn section on 'Drive My Car,' (taken from "Savoy Truffle") to much more major mashups ("Get Back" utilizes the opening guitar from "A Hard Day's Night", the drum and guitar solos from "The End", percussion from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)", and the orchestral swell from "A Day in the Life") - the album is an inspired reinvention of a well-worn back catalog.
Listen, Watch - "Get Back"


Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band - Live In Dublin 2007

Bruce Springsteen recorded a fun little album of his favorite Pete Seeger tunes with some folk musicians. The album was loose and carefree. At points, you can hear people shouting out the chord changes. It felt like sitting on a front porch with some very talented friends. Then Bruce took that group of musicians, spit-polished them, and put them on the road. He sculpted these breezy folk musicians in much the same way he did his E Street Band, and as a result, created the first turbo-powered arena folk band. Three concerts from Dublin were filmed and recorded, and the best of those three became this album as well as a DVD (and PBS pledge-drive favorite). As a fan of rock and roll, this is a very accessible way to get into some back-catalog Pete Seeger tunes...and as a folk fan, the re-imagining of the Springsteen originals (especially "Further On Up The Road") makes this live album great fun. The Dublin crowd seems to know every word to every song, and the band switches from celtic to bluegrass to New Orleans-gospel without skipping a beat.
Listen, Watch "American Land" http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7onao_american-land-bruce-springsteen_music

Atom & His Package - Hair:Debatable [2004]
Hair: Debatable
This Bryn Mawr chemistry teacher is everything I love about punk rock. Okay, I'm not a big punk rock fan. But Atom & His Package's sole member, Adam Goren, has captured my attention and I love his enthusiasm, spirit and humor. And it's all on display on his farewell-to-the-business live album from 2004. "I'm Downright Amazed (At What I Can Destroy With Just a Hammer)," my personal favorite, is performed with great skill and enthusiasm, as are "Pumping Iron For Enya," "Hats Off To Halford" and the rest of the set list. The audience is so close in the mix as to make this sound more like a bootleg, and one would expect nothing more from this bare-boned comic of Philly punk.
LIsten, Watch '"(Lord It's Hard to be Happy When You're Not) Using the Metric System"

Elliott Smith - Figure 8 [2000]
Maybe I'd go along with the critics who didn't like this album as much as "XO," (Smith's album that preceded it) if I had heard "XO" first. But that's not how it worked for me. "Figure 8" was my introduction to Elliott Smith, and it has remained a perennial favorite ever since I first gave it a spin back in 2000. The guitars are brash yet subdued somehow, and Smith sings like he's trying not to wake up his roommate in the room next door. The melodies are more inventive than they first appear, and the song title sequencing makes the track listing sound like a conversation: [ "Everything Reminds Me of Her" "Everything Means Nothing to Me" ; "I Better Be Quiet Now" "Can't Make a Sound" "Bye"]. A side note, this is the first of two albums in my list that have a song about Mary Kay Letourneau. I guess she inspires great art. Hmph.
Listen, watch "Son of Sam" -

Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up on Me [2002]
Don't Give Up On Me
I had Johnny Cash's American recordings on this list, until I remembered this gem by Solomon Burke. The two are not without their similarities. Burke, like Cash, was a houshold name from the 60s that spent much of the intervening decades recording second-rate material only to return to form with great songs written by heavy hitters, and stripped-down production that allows us to hear every crag and croak in these senior citizens' voices. But while Johnny Cash's American recordings span 5 albums, Burke managed to capture the same excellence in just one. Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits were among the songwriters who contributed a new song for this album, and the still none of the songs shine brighter than Burke does.
Listen, watch "None of Us Are Free"


The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love [2009]
In an era of 99¢ songs, where the single has trumped the album, and the attention span for long works has diminished to almost non-existence, it's a wonder that The Decemberists would put out a rock opera. Telling a single story over the course of an hour of a shape-shifting deer, the queen of the forest, a pregnant damsel in distress, all as told by an infanticidal rapist of a narrator...well, okay, it's better than I can describe it, really. This album really rocks. It gets downright metal at moments, even if the lyrics would have gotten you beaten up in gym class if recited ("And we'll lie awake 'til the corn crake crows/bereft the weight of our summer clothes"). If you've known me on facebook at all over the course of this last year, you'll know that I think this is quite possibly the best album I've ever heard, period. So, it should be no surprise that I've listed it.
Listen, watch 'The Hazards of Love, pt 1'

Its no secret that I do not like country music, unless Bob Dylan is doing it. Nevertheless, this album is unbelieveably bad considering what else came out in 1965. 'I've Got A Tiger By The Tail' is mildly infectious but the rest is utterly atrocious.

0.5/5
