Lykke Li Played Paradise Last Night (10.23.08)
Lykke Li played Paradise last night and she did nothing to contradict anything I’ve written about her previously. She is an incredibly compelling performer. She moves without hesitation or self doubt, she commands attention on stage and she exudes energy.
However, given the amount of attention I’ve given to her over the past few months I’m [...]

Lykke Li to Play Paradise Thursday
I saw Lykke Li last May at the Middle East upstairs. At the time she was opening for El Perro Del Mar, except that was not really the case. The show was a sell out, but by midway through El Perro Del Mar’s set the place was empty. Even at the beginning of El Perro [...]

Youth Novels
In some ways Youth Novels is difficult to approach. Many of its themes are inherently feminine. Lykke Li has commented that the songs are all built from her own life experiences and that the album should be thought of a storybook of her young life. (She’s 22/23 now.) As such the album delivers thoughts on [...]

Lykke Li Back To Boston In October, Full North American Dates
I took over driving around 5am on our way down to Tennesse for Bonnaroo. I had done the first shift, my roommate Steve the second. I was working on three hours of sleep in the past twenty four. Lykke Li’s voice gently seeped out of the speakers and quickly began to massage my brain.
Four and [...]

Lykke Li @ the Middle East 5/9, (El Perro Del Mar too)
Lykke flared her elbows, dropped her shoulders, and bounced in cramped space – alternating between dancing and slamming cymbals with her single drum stick. Her dancing borders on foolish, but is salvaged and made into a jealousy inducing spectacle by her supreme confidence. And the effect her confidence has on her [...]
What I’ve Been Listening To: Vol. 1, P. 8
First, I’ve decied I’m going to try and make a muxtape each weak that coincides with my “What I’ve Been Listening To” post. The muxtape will consist of tracks I’ve posted on Enough Cowbell in addition to tracks that I’ve been listening to during my free time.
The muxtape does not reflect everything I’ve been listening [...]
