Hits In The Car

Finally it's Friday:

• Chris has written a piece about his trip to London. As always this is good read. Chris, you really should update your blog more often. And check out some pictures from his trip here.
• The Oxygen Ponies have put up two more songs on their a/v section. Don't Know Why [MP3] is my favorite of the new ones. Pretty and emotional as always!
• I thought the album I had ordered by Campsite arrived yesterday, but when I opened the parcel I found an album by Hell Is For Heroes inside. I'm going to return the HIFH album asap. Listen to One Of Us [MP3] and you'll understand why!
• The creativity of people when it comes to naming their bands never ceases to amaze me. Next in line with a highly original band name are psychedelic shoegazers A Cricket In Times Square. Careless [MP3] and Cult Favorite [MP3] are two fairly nice ones.
• If you dare; check out the Danish album chart. What a joke! I guess you're right Peter. The German one sure isn't any better!
• Beacon Street Radiants is a really nice indie pop band from Finland. Here are a few songs for your listening pleasure: Not OK [MP3]; See The Stars [MP3]; Come Back Home [MP3].
• I received a mail this morning that the Anamia EP I ordered a while back has been shipped. I'm seriously looking forward to receiving it, because this is truly great stuff! And 10 years from now, when these guys are huge, I expect it to be a real collector's item ;-) Listen to The Mouse Is The Great Man [MP3] or some of the other songs here.
• Swedish indie pop duo Tillmanns has released its debut EP. If the rest of the EP is as good as opening track Run [MP3] it might be worth a closer look? The band has previously been mentioned on the truly fabulous Indie MP3 blog, so no matter how much I'd like it to be, it's not my "find".
• OK debut single The Warning Sign [MP3] from Danes Sparklin June is available for free at Myspace. Apparently for a limited time only!
