Shorties...

It’s summer and thus the season for reruns on TV, so with that in mind, I thought no one would complain about this fine cover by Ether Aura being reposted?

Hitmeister has nominated my two German blogger friends Peter & Peter, a.k.a. Mr. Schallgrenzen and Mr. Coast Is Clear for Superblog of the year. And they really need your votes!

Motivated by the awesome title track, I’m currently listening a lot to the new album Another Noon by Canadian acoustic folk rock duo Jon and Roy.

I’ve been asked a few times, if I’m going to this year’s Rip It Up festival. Sadly the answer is no.

The free download album Secrets of the Witching Hour by The Crimea has now reach 92,811 downloads. That's another 6,224 downloads since June 26.

The Crimea aiming at 100,000 downloads...

The free to download album Secrets of the Witching Hours by The Crimea has reached an impressive total of 86,587 downloads and obviously the band is now focusing on reaching the 100,000 mark. As soon as this number has been reached, the band promises, “to upload a new and exciting version of the album, with extra songs and some very interesting voice overs in between”, which does sound rather intriguing. So be a sport and help the boys reaching their target and at the same time helping the rest of us getting our hands on this “new and exciting version”!

Shorties...

My copy of Downhill, you know that debut EP by Days that everyone has impatiently been waiting for, has finally arrived. The cover art is simply beautiful and to finally being able to play those amazing songs on the stereo is nothing but a sheer pleasure. You can order the EP at Shelflife right here and why shouldn't you want to buy the EP that will dominate everyone's year end lists? Now we are just waiting for the boys to announce their grand world tour (or at least a few concert dates!)!

Links to 10 different blogs featuring a remix of Loop A Loop are now up at The Crimea's official webpage. Was originally told that 16 blogs would participate, but now it looks more like 10 is the number. In case you missed it yesterday, I'll post The Brute Chorus Remix one more time.

The abovementioned Loop A Loop remix project by The Crimea do remind me quite a lot of the equally ambitious All Is Indeed Swell Enough for a Remix project by DAMPFBAHN! last year, where the track All Is Swell was remixed by 9 different artists/dj's etc. With the only exception really being that the Danish duo didn't get various music blogs involved.

+ All Is Swell In The Grinding Light - A Kid Hereafter

5 tracks by Death Valley Sleepers are free to download from Last.fm. No further introduction should be needed, as I've featured this excellent Danish one-man project a few times before.

The Crimea - Loop A Loop (The Brute Chorus Remix)

In what I believe should be considered a rather unique publicity stunt, UK indie/alternative rock quartet The Crimea are now releasing the single Loop A Loop taken from the album Secrets Of The Witching Hour, which was released in March last year as a free digital download. So the single being available for free obviously isn't what is so unique about it, but instead that 16 new AND free remixes of the track, have one by one been distributed to 16 different MP3 blogs, with each blog having the exclusive right to post one particular remix.

I’ve been asked to host the remix created by The Brute Chorus, which has a real cozy and laid back/lazy feeling to it that made me feel all relaxed and comfortable last night, when it was streaming from the headphones, while the rest of the house was sleeping.

All blogs featuring one of the remixes will soon be listed at the band’s official webpage.
