Tunes & Tumblers x Anna of the North 2023
Every other week, Anthony Kozlowski pens the Atwood Magazine column Tunes & Tumblers, pairing new and classic albums with cocktail recipes. He quickly found however that drinking alone is a sad business. So he invited his friends into a recording booth to aid in mixing delicious drinks and to discuss the music that they all love. Strap on your headphones and enjoy a cold one on us.

Norwegian singer/songwriter/queen/legend/icon Anna of the North joins Tunes & Tumblers to chat about her newest album Crazy Life featuring the myth of the self-made, the relationship-map of our lives, and a brief mention of Harry Styles – all while we sip on while sipping a Crazy Sour.

This week, the regulars welcome the love from above, the queen of the Norwegian scene, Anna of the North, to the bar.

While we wait for Bezos or Gates or someone to make a machine that transports cocktails intercontinentally, the gang sips on Kaylyn’s most experimental concoction yet (featuring saffron and homemade marshmallows cause we’re boujie like that). All the while, Anna guides us to the revelation that eating well, working out, getting sleep, and seeing friends might improve your life more than the usual fast food, drinking, staring at our phones, eat hot chip and lie.

Check out our newest episode of Tunes & Tumblers on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Cheers!

  10. Pour the marshmallow mix into greased mold with the help of a spatula and spread it evenly. Let the marshmallows dry uncovered overnight.
