Friday fasties...

Is fasties really a word in English (now I know it isn't!)? Oh well - I hope you understand what I mean by this!

First single Where Did We Go from the Phonovectra debut album Too Young To Die is available for free from the band's Myspace profile. It's a great rock track and highly recommendable! I ordered the album a while back and expect it to arrive any day soon!

The Holiday Show has posted a new track on their Myspace player. Sadly it's not a freebie. The track is called City Girlfriend and is surprisingly indie pop inspired. Accordingly an album is in the making!

The Lovekevins has a new single called Tamagotchi Freestyle. It's from the band's forthcoming album that will be called Vs the snow. The album will be released April 4 on Songs I Wish I Had Written and is described as "A perfect blend of dream like noise and steady wonderful pop melodies". The new single is one of those typical irresistible and catchy ones.

...passantin has been added to the blogroll. If you skipped German classes you'll probably be completely lost!

Check this fantastic post by emodreng & indiepige. Especially the Dreams Ends remix of (Lack of) Love Will Tear Us Apart by The Honeydrips is excellent!

Losing Track by Swedish electro pop duo (?) The Morning Paper is quiet and simply beautiful (sounds like rain falling down). Perfect for a tired Friday evening.

Eheruncool is a quartet from Rosswein somewhere in Germany. The lyrics are in German (I'm getting more and more used to this) and the music is dark and depressive finding lots of inspiration in bands like Sonic Youth and Joy Division. Both tracks were found at the band's Myspace profile and are super cool!

Vote, Vote, Vote, Vote etc.

Both Kunsten At Slippe Taget by Entakt and Too Young To Die by Phonovectra are being tested this week by the Danish radio chart Tjeklisten. So there are at least two (very) good reasons to vote!

Too Young To Die....

I strongly recommend that you watch the video for the new (and second) single by Phonovectra called Too Young To Die. Amazingly the band has been allowed to use and edit the excellent (and very powerful) short movie De Nåede Færgen (They Caught The Ferry) by legendary Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer (originally filmed in 1948 as a campaign movie for the Danish Road Safety Council). Did they catch the ferry? Indeed they did - but certainly not the one they expected! By the way; Too Young To Die is a really great song, which makes this an almost perfect symbiosis.

From around the globe.......

Soundvenue reviews The Art Of Kissing Properly by Moi Caprice (5 stars out of 6).

New album-release from Swedish label Music Is My Girlfriend; Dots by The Motifs. Only 50 copies made, so hurry up if you're into bedroom-pop (this is what the music sounds like according to the label!).
+ Every way
+ Diagonal

Listen or re-listen to White Love by One Dove over at mp3hugger. Still great after all those years!

Stream the fine new single Where Did We Go by Danes Phonovectra.

This blog has been upsetting/pissing off quite a few people in bloggerland.

Chris is back in action! Hopefully the cat isn't his?

What is probably one of the nicest bands in the world of music - The Arrogants - has made two album tracks available for free download. You can buy the album for $5.50, which easily is the bargain of the year (second year in a row)!
+ Future Classic
+ Easy

I'm currently listening to the EP by Finnish indie pop/rock band The Orders. If things work out according to plans I'll post a track from it, as well as a short interview with the band later this the weekend.

Found this one by Australian garage rock band The Silents in the mailbox (actually it's been "hiding" there for nearly two months). Nice and that's pretty much it.

I now have 1,299 "friends" over at Myspace. Amazing........isn't it?
