Mark Seliger usually spends his time behind the camera; through the years, he's shot such iconic artists as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Kurt Cobain. However, Seliger also finds himself on the other side of the lens occasionally as the frontman of the country group Rusty Truck. Now you can hear the band's new track, "Rattle Trucks," in which Seliger drapes yearning, melancholy vocals over wandering slide guitars, reaching deep into country and western traditions.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
