Midweek musings 2006-04-26 21:18:00 I was really surprised by the number of people interested in the 80's songs yesterday, because the blog received nearly 600 hits, making it the most successful day by far. I thought most people owned several 80's compilation CD containing most of those songs anyway! But apparently that's not the case or people simply wanted to listen to the songs at work? Another 80's soundtrack is in the making. However it was quite a disappointment that hardly anyone had the "courage" to check out some of the lesser known bands mentioned here.Soundvenue reviews debut Everything All The Time by Band Of Horses and gives it 5 (out of 6) stars.Waiting for Peter to mention this song by Bombs Over Berlin, since he's the one who introduced me to the band in the first place. Sorry Peter, but I couldn't wait any longer, because I simply had to recommend this superb and very, very catchy new wave, pop song!+ Love Asylum2 unreleased songs by The Field Mice are available at Myspace.+ I Wish I Meant More To Read more:Midweek
Today's Last.fm recommendation... 2007-04-27 22:08:00 was To The Bright and Shining Sun by Irish band The Walls. Since I was familiar with the band, but not the song, I decided to give it a listen (and I'm glad I did). This absolutely brilliant up-tempo indie rock track was one of the singles found on the band's 2005 album New Dawn Breaking. Apparently the album sold really well on the home market, and if the rest of the album is as good as the two singles below; I'm not at all surprised.+ To The Bright and Shining Sun+ To The Bright and Shining Sun (acoustic version)+ Black & Blue Read more:Today
TF vs. JT 2007-04-25 11:53:00 Once again I'm really busy, so I only have time to post a quick one from the mailbox. Swedish singer Tobias Fröberg covers What Goes Around by Justin Timberlake. This version is a lot (and despite the Swedish accent, I mean a LOT) more likeable than the original (probably because JT is second on my list of "least-favorite-artists").+ What Goes AroundThanks to It's A Trap for directing me to these two new (and really nice) ones by Swedish indie pop trio Double Dan.+ When The Sun Falls Down+ A Picture Of You
New songs and some mixed stuff... 2007-02-13 22:24:00 Below I've posted 5 new tracks found over at Myspace. The quality of the songs
has indeed improved from the lowly 96 Kbps and the bitrates of the new songs are 128 Kbps or better. I still cannot figure out how to link directly to the songs (Chris is working on this), so I've had to upload the songs myself (hopefully no one minds?). The Myspace download function doesn't seem to be working perfectly, but hopefully they are trying to fix it, so we can return to "the good old days"!!!Shoegazers Tearwave from US has posted two new ones. The band has recorded a fine cover of The Church's Under The Milky Way and Read Me is a really great shoegaze inspired track (noisy guitars, dreamy vocals and stuff
). A full length CD has been recorded and that one should be a "must".+ Read Me+ Under The Milky WayAlaska (Chris' guinea pigs) from Sweden is one more band in the ever growing line of fantastic Swedish indie pop band. A new EP should be just around the corner, and hopefully the rest of the t
Murnau... 2007-02-07 15:47:00 Thanks to Fadeaway, Italian shoegaze/ alternative rock band Murnau caught my attention a while back and now the band's wepage (in Italian) is finally working again. 8 tracks (as well as a couple of live recordings) are free to download and all of them are well worth a listen. I don't understand a word Italian (not quite true - I actually understand the meaning of "molto bene"), but according to a message I've received from the band, all of the tracks are new recordings. The band has existed since 2004, is still unsigned (hopefully not for long) and lists the Post-Rock, Shoegaze (and a few other) genres in general as the main influences.Molto bene indeed!+ Come un fantasma+ Dentro Me+ Last Hope Sound
New songs by Track a Tiger.... 2007-02-06 08:19:00 Listen to two brand new tracks by Chicago band Track

J.A. Recommends! 2006-11-23 09:52:00 This is getting more and more "insane". The flow of recommendations from J.A. just keeps growing, and I'm continuously baffled by the great quality of the songs and artists. I have no idea how he's able to keep finding new stuff, but he's sure damn good at it! Unfortunately it's virtually impossible to give each band a decent description/introduction (after all this is not a full-time job!), so instead I've decided to post the complete list of artists (plus a few songs) from J.A.'s recent mail and add a few of my thoughts during the day.+ Odgens - Face The TimeAlready posted by Peter and labeled "the German answer to Oasis".+ Bedroom Eyes - Blueprint for Departure + The Skywriter"Just" another Swedish indie pop band. We all should know by now what that means! Irresistible and catchy pop songs! Both tracks are from the 2006 EP Embrace In Stereo.+ Violet Elegy - FashionistasLaid-back and catchy electronic pop song, by this Swedish 5-piece.+ MICHAEL - Heard You SayHow do you describ
Shorties... 2007-05-01 08:25:00 Friendly Danish indie/electro pop band The Holiday Show has uploaded 3 nice (and free) summer tracks to Myspace. As always this is cool and catchy stuff, but I'm still waiting for the boys to release an album. I've posted 2 tracks below and you can grab the third one here.+ Traveling minds+ City GirlfriendSwedish alternative/indie rock band The End Will Be Kicks has posted a brand new (and very good) track from their forthcoming EP.+ Ass of a friendGreat US Shoegaze/Dream Pop band Panda Riot has posted a couple of demos over at Myspace.+ Color me in+ New demo (Feb 29th)In the mailbox this morning I found this one by Fields taken from the band's debut album Everything Last Winter.+ If You Fail, We All Fail
Souvenir cover... 2007-04-30 14:49:00 Spanish quartet Klaus&Kinski covers Souvenir
by OMD. This happens to be one of my all time favorite songs, so I'm not really sure what to think...+ Souvenir (OMD Cover)And here's the video for the original version by OMD. All these years later (26 to be exact), I'm still having difficulties believing that it was actually Paul Humphreys singing this one (does sound like a woman - doesn't it?)!
