Before I left my job, when I was really miserable, their music was the only thing that could make me feel happy.

such a grooving solo, reminds me of a karate riff but looser, dirtier and with more feeling

Lars Hollmer is a rather unique composer from Sweden. Primarily an accordionist but he also knows is way around a keyboard.
His music explores traditional folk but delves into the realms of progressive rock. He can be quite experimental at times, and this song in particular as its title suggests incorporates elements of Samba.
A friend turned me onto his work when I told him about my love for the sound of accordions.
There’s something very special about accordion music to me. As a teenager my family lived next to a Swiss guy. He was a timber framer and would employ and often host other Swiss builders with an expertise in the method.
Some times they would have parties on weekends and bust out the accordion singing loudly and drunkenly throughout the night.
I always enjoyed opening my window and tuning in to the affair like a regularly scheduled radio program. I think it fed my need for escapism and my desire to be somewhere else. I could imagine I wasn’t really in the same boring old place but far off in foreign lands - not just my rowdy neighbours next door, but all of Switzerland just outside my window.

I listened to this last summer and here I am again. Maggie’s voice just feels right for some reason. never contrived, like she’s genuinely reading pages of her own diary. I don’t think I really need to say much about the book or its author, that’s already been said by many

Been listening to this song on repeat for 30 min while i cook my sister dinner. I have been a Destroyer fan since I was about 15. One of my friends gave me a mix cd from her older sister right before rubies came out. I don’t know why my experience with other Destroyer fans since then has always been repressed indie guys in tired flannel shirts because the music is more interesting than that. I don't think those guys even like it. they just stand immobile with their arms crossed at their shows, scowling. dan has one of the most emotional voices i know, at least for me

Sometimes I'll be deep, deep in the throes of existential dread, oscillating between ennui at best and utter spiritual fatigue at the lowest (this is what chatGPT told me I was feeling), then I'l find an old photo of me and my twin sister. It's like a wink from the universe reminding me that we chose to be here together, and that's really the only thing that matters anyway. So I put the picture on my fridge.
