Another video I took of Lykke Li performing her take on Lil Wayne's "A Milli". It was a nice little variation that really got the crowd into the show. One of my rules of life is that it's always cool to hear a soft spoken, pretty Swede say "motherfucking".Pigeons and Planes
(by John Brunner)Friday night at the Bottom Loungewas reminiscent of the storms that swept through the city and Lollapalooza earlier in the day. Odds are someone,out of their control, randomly lost their power-as with UK’s rising popsensation Esser. You sheltered yourself from the rain through covering up, asStockholm’s electro-dance outfit Miike Snow covered up their identities. Yetthrough
The lyrics for this song are amazing, you’d be hard-pressed to find that kind of honesty in music, much less people. I’ve been partying and going to concerts so much lately I think it’s time for me to start relating to this song for a while. We’ll see how long it last, enjoy.When everybody’s drinking [...]

From the homie Steven at OGHipHop… Lykke Li performed at Webster Hall on Monday night in New York City. Before asking a) who is Lykke Li and b) what does she have to do with hip-hop, let me... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
MP3: Lykke Li - Breaking It Up "Youth Novels" seems like old news in the world of online music journalism, but in fact the album has not been commercially available in the United States until August 24th. So the following review can be viewed as a rehash, a reminder or, heaven forbid, something completely new. There's nothing wrong with talking about things we love, that's what makes writi...
Lykke Li feat. OK Ma - Soul Repair --- Its not really THAT new , a few days old actually, but I can't help myself but be enamored once again with this Swedish pop (?) -slash-indie princess collab with OK_Ma. I don't know if many blogs have posted this, but I think there's only a few so get it on the action. "After a few months outta the studio we are now back putting final touches to our lon...
Photo: Marie Komphavong So I really felt like Knocked Up was the gem of Kings Of Leon's 2007 album, Because of the Times . So, when I found a track being dubbed as the "Rodeo Mashup Remix" with Lykke Li , I was pretty curious. After listening, I wonder why is this being dubbed as a remix? I mean, it's a cover.
