annika norlins english project, hello saferide, is more well known outside of sweden than her main band säkert! which is a true bummer because everything that hello saferide does, säkert! does better. even if you don't understand what she is saying, the music by itself and her golden vocal melodies make it worth checking out. i would recommend google translating her lyrics though, norlin is one of the best songwriters in swedish pop (or music in general) and a true indie cult classic.

this is THE hit! everytime this song plays on the indie clubs, the floor is filled immediately. one of swedens only twee pop hits!

"we will die at the same time"

i could write more about the AMAZING swedish indie pop scene and its subculture, the pop kids (poppare) but that can wait for another day (im thinking of doing a zine about it actually, more about that later!)

There are very few songs that just make me go as feral about them when they come up on shuffle as “Lund” by Hello Saferide always does.

Old Codgers Of The Week (15)

A new world record has been set for earing the largest amount of fermented Baltic #herring in one minute #GuinnessWorldRecords

Hats off to 71-year-old Sune Valentin Norlin who, in August 2023, claimed a Guinness World Record by eating 392.7 grams of fermented herring in one minute, the equivalent of almost two tins of the stuff. The competition organised by the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmő did not feature any old fermented fish, but the Swedish (admittedly acquired) delicacy of surströmming, made from Baltic sea…

Enjoying life with our S/y Xpequod yacht

An Albin Express racing boat. Today our day cruiser in the archipelago of Turku. A Day sailer that accelerates fast after every tack. It reaches easily 5 to 6 knots and in moderate breeze 7 knots. A fun small boat to sail in sheltered waters but you can trust Peter Norlins design even on an open sea. This boat carries the main sail in quite strong winds, you seldom need to reef the main, you just…

Jonny's Super-Rare New Telecaster Guitar

NOTE: Thank you to Antoine for pointing out that this is in fact Dudu Tassa's guitar, borrowed by Jonny for the session! That certainly explains why it's such a rarity for Jonny!

A screenshot of Jonny with Karrar Alsaadi (vocals), Yanic Taichman (oud), Dudu Tassa (bass), and others in footage of Ya Mughir al-Ghazala live at The Hamam (youtube).

With Radiohead, Jonny uses his Telecaster Plus to cut through the other guitars in a mix, thanks to the guitar's mid-heavy Lace Sensor Red Dually pickups. He also breaks out his Starcaster when he wants richness with some sparkle. With Junun and the Smile, sparser arrangements leave space for the rich, slightly scooped pickups on Jonny's Les Paul Standard to shine. But Jonny has only rarely performed with a guitar fitted with single-coil pickups. Soundchecks in 2008 and The Daily Mail in 2011-2012 are rare exceptions. But paired with the Normal channel on Jonny’s AC30, his sound has remained warm and rich even with those guitars. It’s never been what you’d normally associate with a “Telecaster player”.

However, for his new collaborative album with Dudu Tassa, Jonny has broken out a Tele with standard single-coil pickups. You don’t need to look at the video to hear the different, the sparkle of his tone is a real surprise! The tone blends very nicely with the warmer sounds of the brass ensemble and Tassa's riffy bass playing. On first hearing the initial single, Ashufak Shay, I assumed Tassa must be playing guitar because it was so bright — now you know I'm not so sure.

Jonny playing his butterscotch guitar during Ya Mughir al-Ghazala live at The Hamam (youtube). Note the 1-ply 5-screw pickguard and the three round brass saddles at the bridge.

We did see a butterscotch Standard on a stand behind Jonny during tour rehearsals with The Smile last year, but that guitar had a white pickguard. Jonny decided not to bring that instrument on tour with the band, and we've never knowingly heard it on a The Smile track. But the new footage of Ya Mughir al-Ghazala makes it clear that this new butterscotch guitar is a very unusual “Standard” Telecaster. The heavy wear to the butterscotch finish suggests that it’s vintage, as do the three round brass string saddles. However, the key is the headstock…

But before we reveal the new instrument, a little context on Jonny’s other guitars: while the 1970s Fender Starcaster might be a rare and expensive instrument today, it was fairly undesirable when Jonny bought his in the 90s. Similarly, Jonny’s late-70s Les Paul is from what many consider to be the companies worst period (the “Norlin” era), and it too was fairly undesirable in the 2000s when Jonny acquired it. And he bought his first Fender Telecaster Plus brand new from a guitar store after the band were signed. While Thom and Ed have grown increasingly interested in vintage guitars, Jonny has generally kept the same guitars and focused his energy on learning other instruments instead.

Jonny playing his butterscotch guitar during Ya Mughir al-Ghazala live at The Hamam (youtube). Zoom in on the headstock to see what's missing!

That makes Jonny’s new guitar all the more surprising. It seems that when Jonny goes vintage, he goes all in. The headstock on Jonny’s butterscotch Tele features a “silver spaghetti” Fender logo, which suggests that it’s a pre-CBS instrument. But the real key is the empty space below the logo. The guitar has no “Telecaster” name on the headstock! That makes it one of fewer than 500 “no-caster” guitars produced by Fender between February and September 1951. Earlier that year, Fender was forced to drop their original “Broadcaster” name after learning that Gretsch already produced a drum set called the “Broadcaster". Until they settled on “Telecaster” (a hybrid of Television and Broadcaster), they simply shipped guitars with no model name. For more info on the No-caster, fuzzfaced.net has a great page on it!

Given the rarity of the instruments, purists are probably furious that Jonny crammed some 0.88mm Dunlop picks into the vintage single-ply pickguard. That said, it was clearly well loved and well used by the prior owner — the fingerboard is visibly missing much of its original finish already. And I’m sure most would agree that it’s better to hear it used for music, rather than see it sit in a case to retain its condition.

We should also mention that Jonny did very briefly tour with a white Telecaster Standard in 1992. That instrument, in a white finish with some black tape or paint, was Jonny’s first guitar, purchased from his guitar teacher when he was 14. It’s visible on a stand in a photo from the recording of the Drill EP, but Jonny probably didn’t use it much since he’s seen playing his Telecaster Plus in the same photo. That guitar was unfortunately stolen on May 15, 1992, during Radiohead’s first tour, and hasn’t been seen since (it’s not to be confused with the two Tele Plus guitars stolen in 1995, one of which was returned in 2014).

idk if it's useful but here's a quick thing explaining the mess of 'british' stuff because it really is a mess and can be super confusing

UK / The United Kingdom / The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - actual name of the country occupying nearly all of the isles (and currently the longest name of any country in the world), which is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

England, Wales (Cymru), Scotland (Alba), and Northern Ireland (Tuaisceart Éireann, or Norlin Airlann) are all 'countries' within the UK, but aren't countries in their own right. England is where the UK capital and parliament is located. There is no 'English' parliament as it's the UK/umbrella parliament, but Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have their own capitals and parliaments with some devolved powers.

(The Republic of) Ireland / Éire - the country occupying most of the island of Ireland. NOT part of the UK. Not British.

Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and the Bailiwick of Jersey - 'self-governing possession of the British Crown'. They're not part of the UK, apart from sometimes when laws happen? Unsure. Guernsey and Jersey aren't even next to the UK, they're by France (and called the Channel Islands). I don't know enough to say more. They're usually forgotten about.

Britain - used to refer to the UK (but probably best to use 'UK' if that's what you mean)

British - used to refer to people who live in the UK*

Great Britain - will be used in things like the Olympics team (Team GB) but Great Britain is a geographic term, referring to the largest island of the British Isles

The British Isles - the geographic name for the collection of islands separated from mainland Europe by the North Sea and English Channel, extending up to and including the Orkney and Shetland Islands. Should very probably be renamed for obvious reasons.

British Islands - an umbrella term for the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey that's not really ever used by regular people, just adding it because it does exist and the Isles/Islands similarity doesn't help matters.

*If someone is from the UK, it should be okay to call them British (they'll correct you if they prefer to be called something else - some people from Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland might prefer to be called British instead of Welsh Scottish, or (Northern) Irish).

If someone is from the UK, do not call them English unless they've told you that they are.

London is the capital of the UK, as well as of England. If you're writing 'London, England' but would write 'Paris, France' in the same place if you were talking about the capital of France, it's best to use 'London, UK'.

Also these are contemporary terms, not all of them can be applied to historic situations/writing for varying reasons. In a few years this might be outdated anyway.
