Music...

This is just one of those ”this and that”, ”bits and bobs”, ”yada yada”, ”shorties”, whatever, etc. kind of posts.

The Boombox Hearts' downright excellent debut EP Monte Carlo is finally out and available through the usual suspects (bandcamp und so weiter).

Watch how Martin Aamot of The Electric Pop Group crushes his opponents in Swedish quiz program Vem Vet Mest ("Who Knows Best"). Ouagadougou anyone?

Wires in the Walls shares two new tracks. Download the brilliant The Ringer below, but if you want the second track Soft Shirt as well, you have to join the band’s mailing list.

Just added the track Darwinisme by Danish band Stærosaurus to my current favorite list. The band’s debut EP Alt Er Vigtigt ("everything’s important") can be streamed via Soundcloud.

Yesterday I posted the video for the Junica debut single Living In My House. Here's a (so-so) remix of said song.

A Month of Unrequited Love...

On Sunday May 1 Michael Møller of moi Caprice will launch the first part of his new solo project A Month of Unrequited Love; a collection of 31 songs that will be released one song per day during May. His first solo album Every Streetcar's Got a Name - An album about sex and desire was (and still is) one of my favorite albums so obviously it will be more than interesting to see how this ambitious project pans out! As I wrote about the debut a long time ago; the sincere lyrics were about “love, sex, desire, betrayal, infidelity, needs, painful memories and a little more sex”, and even though Mr. Møller (more or less) promises than the new songs won’t be as depressing as the project title could perhaps indicate, it’s rather difficult not to expect that the lyrics (to some extend at least) will once again circle around the aforementioned topics. Check the official and very informative webpage for songs (coming soon), concert dates, donation etc.

Whatever you say I am...

Earlier this week Mariage Blanc premiered this nice little video for their wonderful single Whatever You Say I Am. If you haven't done so already, then you definitely "must" to add it to your summer soundtrack.

Morning coffee...

Have a cup (or two) and please enjoy these two...

Gavin Russom has remixed Cut Copy's Need You Now. Of course I prefer the original mix (I always do), but this is not bad at all!

Video for the debut single Living In My House by Junica. Remain stunned by how brilliant this song is!

Labrador news...

Pallers has finished recording their debut album and according to the Labrador webpage it will be out on September 20. A certain band signed to Labrador is infamous for not being able to meet release dates, but hopefully this much anticipated album will be released on schedule!
+ The Kiss
+ Humdrum

Another interesting Labrador album release coming up is the self-titled debut from Det Vackra Livet, which will be out on May 3. First single Viljan sounded remarkably (though not surprisingly) like The Mary Onettes and so does second output Askan. This obviously isn't a bad thing at all!

Late Night Venture...

Danish post-rockers Late Night Venture has a new track out called Birmingham, which sounds very (ahem) post-rockish. It’s taken from the band’s forthcoming, but yet untitled and without release date, album. Been quite some time since we last heard anything from the band, so nice having them back. On June 17 the band will be playing at the 2011 edition of Start Festival, which I haven’t mentioned at all this year, because (for the second year in a row) I won’t be able to attend it. Watch or stream Birmingham below.

Home again...

Back from an interesting but rather contrast-filled trip to Cairo. Will resume blogging as soon as possible (the mailbox is jammed once again), but right now I need to focus on getting some work done.

Holiday...

See you in 8 days...

Egypt calling...

About brothers...

And here's the brand new video for the Delay Trees track About Brothers, which I posted earlier today. Wonderful (both video and song).
