Still not great at posting these on here, and if I'm totally honest about why it's because it hasn't translated into any paid newsletter subscriptions. Maybe people could change that

I remember an old interview with Yung Lean when he was probably in his late teens, and he was talking about how all the the rappers in Sweden were dissing him and he was like, "I never listened to Swedish rapβ€”I listened to Air France." Just to hear that connection being established and realizing, "Yeah, this was actually the logical conclusion of this." You had these record labels like Service and Sincerely Yours, and what they were moving towards was definitely something
like Yung Leanβ€”you just needed a 16-year-old who was really into making that kind of music. I love it. I think they're great, and they are very connected to the remnants of that scene as well. I mean, Year0001 consists of a lot of people from that scene, for example.

Loved this @larryfitzmaurice.bsky.social interview with Jens Lekman, especially having finally met Joel from Air France for the first time last year. Jens Mpls tickets secured! last-donut-of-the-night.ghost.io/jens-lekman-...

"The big one that got away when I was doing Hot Wet & Sassy...that was Robert Smith, and I haven't talked to him since the summer of 2019. We were talking about setting that up and he just sort of disappeared. I don't know if maybe I scared him off. I might have said something weird, I don't know."
