Both - --Agnes Obel-- **and** - --Sarah Harmer-- HAVE NEW ALBUMS OUT TODAY! My Spotify will be on auto-loop all day, and for a few days to come. - --Doug ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2020 08:19:00 -0800 From: Seneca Spurling Subject: Re: What Albums Are You Looking Forward to in 2020? Last night I needed to look for something on YouTube, which I don't use often. YouTube thought I might want to see the video for Suzanne Sundfor's song When the Lord, from the Self Portrait documentary. At the time the video played, I didn't know anything about the documentary or the woman it is about. So I really had no idea what I was seeing. And it seemed so incredibly realistic, horrifyingly, hauntingly so. But I was sure it couldn't be. How heartbreaking to find out it was all real. I imagine it will be hard to watch, not I'd really like to see the film. The video and song are excellent. - -seneca On Wed, Jan 15, 2020, 2:05 PM Jon Wesley Huff wrote: > I'm very much enjoying Georgia's album.

One of my favorite songs of 2020 so far. On Fri, Feb 21, 2020 at 10:19 AM Seneca Spurling wrote: > Last night I needed to look for something on YouTube, which I don't use > often.
