SPLASH 21

There WILL be a post about the A Smile and a Ribbon gigs VERY soon, but first the new radio program. It's called Joy Will Find You Out after the brilliant June Brides song with the same name, and it's brimful of lovely happy music. But not entirely, as you might guess from the ambiguous cover pic. No Swedish track of the week today, there was supposed to be some Fibi Frap but I guess you'll just have to wait. There's a Norwegian track though... Contrary to what I said her first ep Qui a besoin d'une voiture? (which I guess means "Who Needs a Car") on Anorak HAS been followed by a full-lenght album. That's called Sometimes I Wonder If You Have a Heart and is on My Honey. By looking here, and here, it seems that all of the ep is on the album as well! The "listen again" files are now the right lenght so nothing's missing but the timing is still off. So use this link to hear the beginning (skip to the last ten minutes or so). Today's playlist:
