Bobby Womack, “Please Forgive My Heart”
from his upcoming album The Bravest Man In The Universe
out June 12th in the U.S.
“Ingrid was created over numerous cups of pitch black coffee at Mellqvist’s in Stockholm: a place where tall men, homecoming stars, sailor boys, toddlers, seekers, and women so beautiful it hurts, come together to discuss the indifferences of who you are and what you ought to be…
Beyond complaints of harsh winters and lack of a real good Mexican joint, other topics started to swirl around the tables. Isn’t there more to life than world tours, indie cred and empty pockets? Couldn’t we be creating straight from the heart right to the people without any middle hands? Is it not 2012?
In a heartbeat, Ingrid was created. Consisting of members such as: Miike Snow, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John, Nicole Morier, Jocke Åhlund, Johanna Beckman, Jonas Torvestig, Tomas Nordmark and Nille Perned, Ingrid plans to offer a home for the new guard of musicians and artists. The opportunity for creation, collaboration, and compilation sonically and visually, Ingrid will provide in an unadulterated space.
God Bless the Internet
Long live the Vinyl
Ingrid I’m so glad to have found you!”
Day 251: A Song For A Lover of Long Ago by Justin Vernon
I have buried you in my shaking hands, you keep ending up every place I’ve been.
A lot of you have seen me post in the last 8 months about being tailed by a mysterious documentary crew, and perhaps you have even been at a show when you saw 3 polite folks flooding me with panel light, and capturing every sweaty moment on several cameras. While I have been rather tight-lipped about all of it since it began, i am happy to reveal a little sneak peek into what they have been up to.
When the fine folks at Hello My Name Is approached me about this project, i admit, i was a bit nervous about the idea of people following me around, filming my life, and perhaps catching me with my finger up my nose…but i decided…if we are going to do this, let’s do it for real. Thier work is great(check out the other shorts on their site), their hearts are good, and we all seemed to be on the same page, so I gave them carte blanche to film whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. While i have some idea of what they have caught, this is the first footage i have seen…and it gave me goosebumps. I have no editorial say in this, and that is the way i want it, they film me doing anything, and you, the audience, in turn, learn everything.
the project is still a long way off from completion (they still haven’t caught me with my finger up my nose), but they wanted to make up this rough little trailer to let y’all know what they’ve been up to, and what you have in store. i hope you enjoy it as much as i did…and if you do…tell everyone about it!
