Just wish that this would happen a little more often. Picking a random mail, downloading the promo track and being swept off your feet. It has occurred before - I know. But not nearly as often as I’d like it to! To cut a long story short; Change of Seasons by Canada’s Sweet Thing is as happy, catchy and wonderful a pop song as you’ll ever hear and is bound to put a smile on your face. At first I thought the video was a bit bizarre (the first 30 seconds especially), but after paying (just a little) attention to the lyrics, it actually all makes sense.

Sparks and flames...
Two quick thoughts on last night’s concert; it wasn’t a waste of time, but still plenty of work left before White Lies becomes a great live act. So don’t expect to see me queuing outside the ticket office to get tickets for their next tour. And despite my recent approval, the songs on Ritual are beyond doubt weaker than the ones on the debut, as the concert reached a completely different level (Bigger Than Us aside), when the band performed songs from To lose My Life.
Bumped into Tobias of Death Valley Sleepers at the concert and had a (real) quick chat. I obviously wanted news on the band’s debut album and it sounds like it’s imminent…
+ Black Pearl
Check this new track Every Spark Deserves A Flame by Danish synth-rock trio tung_nem. I’ve featured the band a number of times and it’s beyond me how they stay unnoticed.

Have to catch Sleep Party People live someday soon. Has to be an absolutely mind-blowing experience watching five “rabbits” performing music? Here's a live version of brand new (maybe even unfinished?) track We Were Drifting On A Sad Song.

Take the world...
Grab the new She Wants Revenge track below in exchange for your email address. As written when I posted the video; the track is utterly brilliant, so this it's really (really, really) worth the trouble.

Today I'll...
...you guessed it! Drink loads of coffee and try to get some work done! Yada yada yada – time to come up with something new dude!
...stream the (entire) new The William Blakes album Music Wants To Be Free from Soundcloud. Expect it to sound nothing like the previous three albums by the band.
Wasted Years by The William Blakes
…listen (already have) to new track Hollywood by The Oxygen Ponies a number of times. A real grower!
Hollywood by The Oxygen Ponies
...impatiently be waiting for the new Entakt video for Størrelse 43 (size 43) to be published.
...spend some time scratching my head while trying to figure out why people are so high on the new albums by Radiohead and Bright Eyes. Both albums have their moments (I have no problems admitting that), but most of the time I felt like I was wasting my time.
...listen to the forthcoming self-titled Oh Land album.
We Turn It Up by Oh Land

...once again drinks loads and loads of coffee. Sleeping well these days (nights), but still I'm tired like never before.
...of course get some work done. This is the busy season for people like me!
...listen to ace new single Saint Song by Cartridge at least a dozen times. Stream it and let’s tap our feet together.
Saint Song by Cartridge
...give The People’s Key a listen. One reviewer claims it is simply one the best Bright Eyes albums; which I believe is quite something!
...try to make up my mind whether or not I like the new Figurines track New Colors.
...be happy that the download link at Burlesque Records for the Refractory Period by The Sexual Outlaws is finally up and running. But at the same time be a wee bit disappointed that the EP contains the exact same tracks as those available from the band’s webpage.
...give the free be the one EP by Moby another listen.

...drink loads of coffee to help me stay awake.
...do my best to get some work done.
...give The King of Limbs another listen. As tweeted by MP3Hugger yesterday: “Wish Radiohead would drop being interesting in favour of writing decent tunes. They are quickly becoming not worth the effort.” I’ll see the light someday I hope, but after two listens the album is as interesting as (insert whatever boring stuff you can think of).
...listen to the In Soviet Russia, My Heart Breaks You album by Brooklyn indie-pop act Overlord at least twice. The two songs included in the “mixtapes” this past weekend are simply brilliant and of course I cross fingers hoping that the rest of the album is just as good.
+ Oh, My Mechanical Heart!
+ Keep It from the Baby
...listen to the single My Way by new act The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to learn if it as great as some people say it is. Free download here.
...smile a few times knowing that The Boombox Hearts have fallen in love with one of last year’s best songs; Open Season by High Highs.
+ Open Season
...continue to wait for the download link at Burlesque Records to start functioning, so I can download the label’s first release; The Refractory Period EP by The Sexual Outlaws. Yet another band featured in one of those weekend "mixtapes".
+ Xes
...check out brand new Danish band Dead Lovers.
