“Sleep On Needles” by Sondre Lerche
Posted by razzbuffnik on December 21st, 2009
I haven’t posted for a week now because I’ve been giving my brain a rest from all the over stimulation it’s had over the last several months.
Yep, the silly season is upon us and the last couple of weeks have been a blur of socialisation as I’ve been catching up with friends I haven’t seen for awhile. I’ve thrown a few dinner parties since I’ve been back, but for some strange reason, I didn’t take any photos or put up some new recipes. I guess I’m a little, “blogged out”, but never fear (those of you who care), I’ll be putting up plenty of stuff over the next few days.
So in the meantime I want to share, “Sleep On Needles” by Sondre Lerche which I’ve been listening to at high volume in the car. It’s a bit folksy pop that goes grunge and then tips it’s hat to Phil Spector and Motown by a Norwegian baby faced kid!
It’s such a product of this post modern age we live in, that borrows from anywhere and doesn’t really care that much about context (which, by the way, is fine with me).

It’s too early in the morning for me to try this music but I’ll come back later. I figured you were taking a break but I am looking forward to more posts. I made caramel sauce from a recipe from a famous chef, Thomas ……, oh, I know you know who it is. Well, anyway, I burned the first batch but the second one is sublime. Yea! I did something right!

Interesting music and video. Seems like an “old” song from such a young man.

I was wondering where you’d gotten to.
nice song.

Razz, sometimes you could have a bloggers block, similar to a writers block. It’s not a matter for us, we gladly see you back at the blogosphere. Also, the real world and socializing are important.

Now, damnation. I just returned to listen to the music and it’s no longer playable…or at least that’s the message I get. This happens a lot these days, not just on your site. Do you know why?

Glad you found it interesting. It always surprises me how talented such young people are.
Ross
I sometimes wonder I get to as well.

Of course you are right, and sometimes we all need a bit of a break to keep things fresh.

My guess is, that some person at the record company thinks it’s a copyright infringement instead of what it really is…. free advertising. The album came out in 2002 and one would think that exposing people who have never heard the music before, to Sondre Lerche, might lead to some more sales.
Common sense isn’t that common I suppose.
