Kort fortalt...

Den gode Jonas Villumsen fortsætter sin stilfærdige march mod toppen af barometerlisten. Han ligger nu nr. 3, så hvad dælen nøler i efter...stem, stem, stem da for pokker!


Det nye Helsinki Poetry album Transport er fedt. SUPER fedt. Gider ikke forklare hvorfor...så'n er det bare...nemlig! Tjek i øvrigt lige "køkken" udgaven af Saigon...


Far er ikke længere sur. Nu nøjes han bare med at være irriteret...og synes fortsat at de ansvarlige er nogle skvadderhoveder. De gør sig vel ikke de største forhåbninger om at fange "the real bad guys" på den måde?

Den trofaste bidragsyder J.A. er superbegejstret for det danske enmandsprojekt Flag White. Der arbejdes på nyt materiale og projektets nye SoundCloud side byder på adskillige interessante smagsprøver. Tænker uundgåeligt på OMD (omkring A&M + Dazzle Ships tiden) når jeg lytter til den smukt drømmende Uden Intet & Væren.


Hvad siger du til at opleve The Holiday Crowd og Northern Portrait live på samme aften? Desværre skal man lige et smut forbi Milano for at få den fornøjelse. Men det er vel ok (og helt naturligt), at være bare en lille smule misundelig?
+ The Holiday Crowd - Never Speak Of It Again
+ Northern Portrait - Crazy

Vil nok have overvejet at stikke ham keglen ved siden af en femmer for at holde sin kæft (medmindre det er keglen selv, som filmer), imens Acid House Kings spillede deres udgave af There Is A Light...nu må vi jo så nøjes med at forestille os, hvor fabelagtig det kunne have været!

Azure acid...

Wow...for a second there I thought it was New Order! Azure Blue remixes Acid House Kings and impressively makes them sound even lovelier than usual...been a while since I listened to the original version and a bit surprised how different the remix manages and still being able to improve on the appeal of the original...



Grab the original version...

Under Water...

Sweet new video from Acid House Kings sharing childhood memories.

Under Water from Labrador Records.

Sunday morning...

Perfect song for a quiet, tired and lazy Sunday morning...

Acid House Kings on TV...part deux...

Watch Acid House Kings perform Under Water (in case you're wondering that's the name of the song, not the band actually performing the song under water) live on Swedish TV4 Nyhetsmorgon. Not sure what's been holding me back, but it's time to order the album...now!

Acid House Kings on TV...

Watch Acid House Kings perform their wonderful Would You Say Stop live on Swedish TV4 Nyhetsmorgon.

Would you stop a penguin...?

Time to leave the bad stuff behind, so here's the wonderful new video by Acid House Kings for their absolutely wonderful single Would You Say Stop? Pop music just doesn't get much better than this!


+ Would You Say Stop?

Saturday sixpack...

So last night I spent yet another Friday evening cleaning the mailbox and once again 200+ mails ended up biting the dust. Some bands (and their music) avoided the broom and deserve a little exposure. Here are six of the better ones unearthed last night...
+ overlord - Oh, My Mechanical Heart!
+ Novel Ideas - On Fire
+ Acid House Kings - Would you say stop?
+ Chateau Marmont - One Hundred Realities
+ Team Me - Dear Sister
+ Sleeping In Airports - If The Bombs Start Dropping

This and that...

So I ended up not going to the Warpaint concert last night after all. I’m dead tired today, so going would probably have killed me. And staying at home watching the Champions League game between FC København and FC Barcelona wasn’t the worst imaginable alternative. Check Frank's review of the Warpaint debut album The Fool.

Pitchfork shares the lead track of the forthcoming single by Acid House Kings. Are We Lovers or Are We Friends? is the first new release by the band since ages. Out on Labrador on December 7 and right now I’m just waiting for the mandatory promo mail and the free download!
+ This and That

Update: Here we go...
+ Are We Lovers or Are We Friends?

Tempomatador shares the pre-mix of new track Det har jeg lært (så det er sandt). Actually the song is not quite new, as it's an updated (and even better) version of De sidste glade dage af Romerriget, which was originally recorded under the alias Mikkel Max og Drømmenes Bodega. The band seems to be gaining momentum and will be playing at Rust on Saturday and at Huset on November 17.
+ Det har jeg lært (så det er sandt)

Childish Delight is Eumig & Chinon's contribution to this month's edition of mixtoverdener.dk. One for the dance floor I'd say!

Last.fm - Stuff

I'm still damn busy, but today I'll let the recommendations over at Last.fm guide me to some (hopefully) interesting music. I like the whole idea of recommending music to groups and people, though I do find it rather pointless recommending anything that you cannot download or at least stream. There's so much music out there, so don't expect anyone putting that much of an effort into searching for something that might be interesting. After all, the next band offering free music is just one "click" away! Below some of the songs I've found today thanks to the many recommendations and despite being quite a mixed bag, I enjoyed all of them....

+ Club 8 - Everlasting Love (typical and irresistible Swedish indie pop)
+ Acid House Kings - Do What You Wanna Do (Swedish 60's inspired indie pop)
+ Edson - Sunday, Lovely Sunday (happy Swedish indie pop)
+ Mount Eerie - I Hold Nothing (electronic lo-fi - does that make any sense?)
+ Thelittlesorryselfyouare - Designedly dissolved into nothingless (instrumental post-rock)
+ Dustin's Bar Mitzvah - To The Ramones (punk rock)
+ Tompaulin - Heard Your Whisper (label as indie pop - not quite sure if I agree)
