The William Blakes +++
2007-04-18 10:18:00
The William Blakes continues to record new songs and the past week 3 new tracks have been uploaded to Myspace. The band has been so kind to mail me all 3 tracks in high quality and given me permission to post all of them as well. The songs remain difficult to label and still sound something like Talking Heads and Arcade Fire teaming up with Kraftwerk and Phil Spector. Or in the band's own confident words they sound like "something spectacular". Information is sparse so I have no idea who's hiding behind the band name (could be ordinary Joe's or some other band's side project), whether the band will ever play live, is closed to be signed etc. But I really like the songs which probably is what matters the most?+ Innocence and Experience+ Science is Religion+ Secrets of the StateOliver North Boy Choir has recorded a cover version of the disco classic Yes Sir, I Can Boogie. The song can be streamed at the band's Myspace profile and after a few listens I really started enjoying it!I'm


Friday Evening Blogging...
2007-03-02 21:19:00
In his Flashback Friday post today, Chris writes about German 80's band Propaganda. It's really difficult to understand that A Secret Wish was released 22 years ago.emodreng & indiepige has posted two of the new tracks by Oliver North Boy Choir. The two dudes running the blog weren't even born when A Secret Wish was released! I'm an old fart - it's as simple as that!Did anyone enjoy those The Alpine mixes yesterday? Here's one more for you!+ Iceland (OffThaWallz/Bourne Riddim Ent. remix)And here's one from the mailbox. Girls Make Me Sick by Butcher Boy from Glasgow, Scotland. It's an excellent guitar (indie) pop tune, which has already caught the attention of several other bloggers. Released February 12 by the small London label How Does It Feel To Be Loved, but still they urge bloggers share it for free. How's that for an attitude?+ Girls Make Me SickJ.A. recommends Danish indie rock band Sinai. Still find it rather absurd that a Danish band is recommended to me by someone fr

A few Last.fm tracks...
2007-02-20 12:57:00
Just a quick post with a few tracks found over at Last.fm. All of them really deserve a proper introduction, but I have no time for writing that today. Nonetheless I hope that you'll give them a listen (or two)!+ Rocketship - I'm Lost Without You Here+ Audrey - Mecklenburg+ Love Spirals Downwards - Will You Fadeand right now I'm listening to a string of beautiful atmospheric tracks by dreampop, ethereal, neoprogressive rock band Blood Ruby.+ Midsummer Fires+ Underwater Place


Falk recommends....auto-auto
2007-02-16 11:48:00
auto-auto is yet another interesting Swedish band from Gothenburg, but these guys don't belong to the extensive group of indie-pop bands coming from that city. Instead the duo plays synth-pop inspired by Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk etc. as well as finding some inspiration in the more "heavy" industrial electronic names like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb. The entire 2005 Totem EP (and a remixed version as well) are available for free from the band's webpage (where you can find lots of other stuff as well). Thanks to Falk for sending the recommendation!+ Transdimensional+ I Am the sun+ Iam the sun remix by Infinite beat

I have a rather busy day ahead of me, so I won't have much time for posting today. But here are a few shorties:Chris is back! And so is Pastries......!Links for two new blogs have been added:- #1 Hits From Another Planet- The Devil Has The Best TunaTorr is giving away a deck of Kasbian playing cards.

If you're a fan of the sound on the debut album Lesser Matters by fellow Swedes The Radio Dept., you'll definitely love this. Download two older tracks below or the 5 tracks Longing remixed EP.+ Longing Remixed EP (zip file)+ Static, Oh Static + A: Pavement B: Home+ Why won't you talk about it? (The Radio Dept.)

Relations.....
2006-09-19 21:29:00
Today I attended a seminar on Investor Relations , which for the most part was quite interesting. Especially the lecture on how newsfeeds, blogs etc. rapidly are entering the world of IR was rather entertaining. Funny to see how the IRO's in the big companies suddenly are realizing the potential of the web. Really should be old news, but it was almost as if they have "seen the light".So I haven't been anywhere near a computer today, thus preventing me from updating the blog. However I have a little time on my own now (the wife has gone to the cinema and the kids are asleep), so I've just begun emptying the mailbox and listening my way through the stuff. Song will be posted if I hear anything worth wasting your time on!!Bad News by Owen is a nice laid back tune, which is simply perfect at this time of the day, because I'm a quite tired now. Owen is the solo project of Mike Kinsella, who has played in several other bands (that I probably should check out!). The track is from the forth


Stuff 'n' stuff

Daddys' girl is supervising today's post. Trivia of the day is that her favorite artist is Pete White, because when he starts to sing, she immediately stops crying. Really no wonder, because he does indeed have the most amazing voice.It's Thursday; and I still like Thursdays a lot! Al though the suckers at Myspace are doing their utmost trying to ruin it, by constantly changing the filenames of the songs. So don't be surprised if lots of links in the blog are not working properly.Listen to the brilliant Cassettes Won't Listen remix of Asobi Seksu's Strawberries. Interestingly this is shoegaze converted into dance! Where did that piano come from? If you're not familiar with the original version, you can find it here.+ Strawberries (Cassettes Won't Listen remix) Peter is high on Monkey by Low which he has found at Subpop a long with several other fine tracks. No wonder that he likes this one, because it's a fabulous (and quite noisy) alternative rock track.+ MonkeyJosé Antonio

Today I've been humming while listening to:Budapest - 1979A fairly decent cover version of the brilliant original by The Smashing Pumpkins.IKO - HologramFronted by ex-Buffseeds singer Kieran Scragg, IKO delivers a nice, quiet and beautiful first output from debut album I Am Zero (to be released in March).The Radio Art - Let GoNot a day without some Swedish Indie pop in my playlist! And once again this is a really great one!Anubia - Goodbye NowI've mentioned Goodbye Now by Danes Anubia before and the song is definitely good enough to be recommended one more time!

Entakt - Kunsten At Slippe Taget
2007-02-06 08:34:00
Watch the (weird, but very fascinating) video for the new single by Entakt called Kunsten At Slippe Taget. It's one of my favorite tracks from the album, and that piano sounds like Kent meeting Muse. Listen, watch and enjoy! The video is also recommended by DoCopenhagen and Soundvenue.
