Lykke Li, the swedish born singer, has just come out with a cover-mash-up of Kings of Leon's Knocked Up which can be found here . There is also a very poorly shot, yet incredible, rendition of her own Dance Dance Dance with back up and instrumentation with the Bon Iver boys. So here's to a little sensory pleasure for your holidays.

On September 30th, 2008, an amazing video was posted on Youtube featuring Lykke Li and Bon Iver performing Lykke Li's track, 'Dance Dance Dance.' Some people will argue that this new version is even better than the original. Here's the video...AND THE MP3!! [mp3] Lykke Li & Bon Iver - Dance Dance Dance
To get your day started off right, here's a video of two of 2008's indie breakout stars, Lykke Li and Bon Iver performing her song "Dance Dance Dance" in some sort of park. Watch this and try not to feel happy...I dare you!

TodaysBigThing is great for many things. First, it allows me to trim out my 2-h0ur YouTube searches and get right to the good stuff. Second, it allows me to enjoy myself occasionally at work. Third, it introduced me to this awesome video of Lykke Li and Bon Iver performing an acoustic version of "Dance Dance Dance" in a park in LA. I'm still not a huge Lykke Li fan, but my love for Bon Iver is well documented , and this intimate video only fuels my fire. Check it out, and check out Justin Vernon [...]
This is the first time I've collected or kept track of my favorite songs of a particular year. I've always been an album guy. Maybe I'm changing, or maybe there were just a lot of tracks that I wanted to recognize. Or perhaps I'm just hoping for a good discussion. Initially this was supposed to be a collection of 25 tracks. That number became too difficult to manage as more favorites were remembered. Below, you'll find streams, MP3's, and videos of our 50 favorite songs of 2008 . There [...]
Two Stranger Dance favorites, Lykke Li and Bon Iver , teamed up to perform an acoustic version of Li's breakthrough single "Dance, Dance, Dance" in an LA park. The video is candid, cute and surprisingly close to the original considering the setting and instrumentation (voice, guitar, accordion/squeezebox, sleigh bells, toy trumpet/kazoo, chain, and guitar-case-turned-drum).

Yawns, am extremely tired today. (Mops self up off floor.) Be gone already, Christmas, you wretched slavemaster! And take your shattered ball ornaments and gift wishes with you. Soo! Pitchfork listed their favorite music videos of the year yesterday ..the bulk of them have already been mentioned here on SOG at some point or another. One that I missed was Lykke Li doing Dance Dance Dance with Bon Iver. Li is my favorite girlie (say with Lawrence Welk accent:) ' in the indie rock' right now . She's this [...]
It's a Lykke Li extravaganza of sorts, first up is the alternate version of the Breaking it up video, truly can't go wrong with bare bulbs, a bull horn and some crazy dancing... Secondly comes Dance Dance Dance with some back up from Bon Iver, randomly live somewhere in LA (it's just crazy dancing and a water feature here, but it still works.) and last but not least, a cover of I'm Good I'm Gone from Friendly Fires, Lykke Li's support on her UK tour I believe. [...]

Hur kan man inte älska Lykke Li ? Visst kan man hitta några brister på hennes album men för att vara en debut så är den fantastisk och om man någon gång sett henne live så är man helt säkert lika såld som jag. Den 12:e december spelar hon på södra teatern och jag rekommenderar verkligen alla att gå dit, det ska jag göra. Om du inte är övertygad så titta på följande video inspelad akustiskt på gatan tillsammans med bl.a. Bon Iver : [...]

Kleerup Sweet mercy, another Swede. Actually, this time it's two of them - Kleerup and Lykke Li . Usually I shudder at the mention of any song titles containing the words "featuring". More often than not this is sign of some awful pop-hip-hop collaboration. However, in this case, Until We Bleed (Featuring Lykke Li), which is found on Keerup's self-titled Album, is a rather catchy electro-pop tune. Until We Bleed (feat Lykke Li) (Low Quality D/L) [...]
Pois é, a sueca Lykke Li (nota especialmente privada para uma certa pessoa que talvez vá ler isto: diz-se "lucá", com o u afrancesado) vai estar em concerto em Lisboa, no dia 4 de Dezembro, de acordo com o seu myspace, que não revela a data. Quem transmite a notícia é o Cotonete, que deu conta de outro facto que se desconhecia por aqui: Lykke Li viveu cinco anos em Portugal. É um mundo pequeno.

Folks it doesn't get much better than Lykke Li and Bon Iver doing an acoustic performance of Dance, Dance, Dance by some fountain in L.A..

I'm doing a little filling in so I'm just going to do a small post that includes some videos and old mp3s. Lost Coastlines features the use of TV's for heads (another use of TV's like in their video for Our Life Is Not A Movie or Maybe) which turns out to be some workers. Probably because Meiburg couldn't actually be there? Not the great music video but a great song nonetheless. Lost Coastlines by Okkervil River He Doesn't Know Why is an alright music video featuring the [...]

shaking chains, blowing on a toy trumpet, drumming on a guitar case.... this is street musicianship! i'm audience to a busker or two nearly every day on my commute to and from work but, with the possible exception of the amazing drumming dude occasionally outside of farragut north, none of them are this good. but i guess that's why she's touring the world, while they're stuck touring the circuit of dc hot spots. you can check out lykke li at the black cat october 19.
