Seems like a new album by Celestial will be released this summer/autumn. Stream an early demo version of new track The Summer's First Kiss at Myspace.
Yesterday's track by One Weekly Gun makes it 20 new songs this year. Amazing!

Russia won the Eurovision Song Contest Saturday evening/night, but does anyone really care?
Via It's A Trap - download the new single Five Minute Dream by Like Honey for free. Almost as appealing as one of the band's previous efforts the outstanding Airport, which must be among the best track no one's ever heard of!

Ruined By Martin is one of the feature artists in this week's edition of P3's Karrierekanonen (please go there and help the boys by voting for them).

French electro/club act Heyday is giving away their remix of the Lightspeed Champion track Everyone I Know is listening to crunk.

Friday Evening...
Now what? The wife's in Germany, The Kids are sleeping, I've just spent half an hour doing pushups and sit ups as well as a few other exercises to help strengthening my ailing back, I've had a shower and have now poured myself a nice glass of beer. So what are my options tonight? I guess I could either:
a) Waste 90 minutes and watch the The Wedding Planner on TV
or
b) Listen to some music.
To be quite frank the first option is nothing I'd ever seriously consider doing, as I don't feel like I have 90 minutes to waste on some pointless Hollywood junk. So music it will be and since I have 1,000+ mails in my inbox, odds are (or should be) pretty decent that something will catch my attention.
Somehow I've completely missed that Danish melancholic rock quartet Skywriter uploaded a new track called Rewind earlier this year. Well - I assume it's a new track as it wasn't included on the debut Where Both Worlds Never Meet. Nick Cave meets Interpol? Craving Utopia, the first track from the forthcoming album (release date?), is still worth a listen!
+ Rewind
+ Craving Utopia
J.A. recommends Every Minute Is OK by Russian electro pop act Punk TV. No innovation of any kind here, but still it's absolutely irresistible with its pounding rhythms and catchy melody.
+ Every Minute Is OK
Copenhagen duo Feet Don't Fail Me is currently looking for a guitarist and a bassist, so if you want to be a rock star, this could be your chance! Interesting indie rock is on the menu, so why not give it a shot?
+ Out of Control
The last one tonight is this slow-paced and atmospheric beauty by Swedish one man project Sinking Slow. Another lovely gem brought to us by J.A.

This and that…
Silence Is A Rhythm Too posted the 12” version of Love Like Blood by Killing Joke a couple of days ago. …Blood was one of the anthems of my teenage years and to me it still ranks as one of the best and most haunting tracks ever.
I know that American Idiot is nearly 4 years old, but it’s been my most listened to album the past week. And it still blows me away.

Yesterday I received a promo copy of the forthcoming album by Navaro. Not sure what the title of the album will be and not sure it the band has made up their mind about this! But hopefully it will see a release date very soon, so the rest of the world can enjoy the lovely sounds of the trio. Stream songs, watch videos etc. at Myspace.
Crushing Digits drops to no. 5 in the Danish album chart.
Invisible Limb has (once again) been added to the blogroll.
Chris goes "Domino Dancing".

On the radio this morning...
Another classic and watching my 5 year old daughter dance around the kitchen while this was on, nearly brought tears to my eyes. One of those "proud father" moments I guess!
Every morning when eating breakfast the radio is on, and from time to time it does happen that some really fine stuff is aired, thus helping to make the start of the day a good one. The “On the radio this morning” posts are an attempt to make your start a good one as well!

The hopefuls...
Lovely UK indie pop band The Steadies are no more. Sad news really!
+ The Hopefuls
This is already a month old; Pennyblackmusic interviews Northern Portrait.
25 years since the release of You and Me Both and I still have a soft spot for Yazoo. But not soft enough to make me post any of the remixes mailed to me the other day to promote the forthcoming release of the 4-disc box set In Your Room. The remixes are completely useless and are tagged as “spare remixes” by the label. No wonder!
Yesterday when checking out the Vesterbro Festival line-up, I came across Danish quartet Ginger Ninja. This is pop music with a capital P, but very catchy and not without a certain charm.
+ You Can Have It All
Will The Holiday Show ever release an album? I'm probably not the only one awaiting some news on this?

Monday mix...
One Weekly Gun has broken one of his own rules and has written a song about himself. Happy to learn that this excellent project is reaching an ever-growing audience!
+ Weekend Man
Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies are giving away a new demo track over at Myspace.
+ Things I Used To Know
Has The Stone Roses reformed? Unfortunately no, but you certainly could get that impression when you listen to the Tour de Force EP by The Ruling Class. Rarely has an inspiration been more obvious than in this case. Another fine release by Shelflife Records!
+ Umbrella Folds
Zen Sucker by Larsen & Furious Jane is out today and the reviewers love it (1, 2, 3).

Borderline…
Is it ok as a blogger to accept money to make you post/feature a song/video? Last week I received a mail offering me money if I posted a video, but so far I’ve been very hesitant and haven’t replied. I honestly believe that accepting this kind of offer must be the quickest way to loose any credibility I might have, though there’s obviously nothing wrong about money. Perhaps it could be turned into a somewhat more acceptable situation if I wrote that it’s a “sponsored” post and that the song/video doesn’t reflect my taste? And perhaps it could not? And how difference is this really from all the free CD's you receive and expected to review/feature? But quite interesting if this will be the future of MP3 blogging?
So what I’ve decided to do is NOT replying to the mail, and instead I'm simply posting the song and video without getting one cent for my efforts. Check it out if you like – it’s a rather repetitive techno/electronic track by UK DJ duo (?) OrtzRoka called Planets. Not really my cup of tea, but then again; I’ve certainly listened to stuff a whole lot worse than this!
