The wife’s out, the kids are watching TV, I’m having a beer and enjoying that for once the computer is mine…aaaaall mine! Really tired tonight, but having a few things I’d like to post and share, so sleep is put on hold!
Boxstr.net still isn't working. Will be quite interesting if they have the nerve to keep charging their monthly fee, but "at least" their support hasn't replied to any of my emails. Great, great service (can you spell sarcasm...s-a-r-c-a-s-m)...Fuckers!
On a far more positive note. Earlier today the always helpful and up-to-date Mikkel pointed my attention to the little known, but nonetheless absolutely brilliant Danish one-man project Flag White. The debut EP, which can be downloaded for free (or for whatever amount you wish to pay) via bandcamp, contains 5 tracks that could be described as electronic indie pop/rock with a twist of shoegaze. Totally likeable stuff!
+ Of Laughter And Forgetting
More positive news comes from The Boombox Hearts, who are in the studio recording a good old-fashioned single (though not so old-fashioned that there will be any physical copies) with an a-side (the hit) and a b-side (which they expect that no one will give a damn about). Btw. Ivan of the band thinks we should all listen to the new single by Halasan Bazar, which indeed is very nice and reminds me a bit of The Rumour Said Fire! You Will Know by Halasan Bazar
You've probably all grabbed it by now, but still worth mentioning that Labrador gives away a 22-track sampler called Stockholm.
+ Sambassadeur - Days
Feel free to insert another pouting smiley if you like. As happy I am to learn that Days are still around, I'm equally frustrated to learn that the band's next (only?) performance will be at NYC Popfest in May. Check the line-up and start drooling. How I wish I was going!
+ Simple Thing
+ Downhill
Now that OMD is about to play SXSW it’s finally possible to get a legal promo track from the band’s History of Modern comeback album. Would have been great had it been available at the time of the album's release! But all good things come to those who wait, I suppose! On a side note, I’m still surprised how much I’ve enjoyed (and still am enjoying) the album.
+ Sister Mary Says
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.
Fresh video by She Wants Revenge for utterly brilliant new track Take The World. This is the first new music from the band in 4 years, but not much has changed, as the cool, dark and synth-heavy sound I remember them for remains. The track is from the band's new album (yet unnamed), which will be out some time later this spring/early summer!
All words in this blog are written by me. It’s a blog about music. A music blog! About music that I like and artists I care for. Things have to be relevant to me. Not necessarily to anyone else. I’m Danish. I live in Denmark. I write at a lot about Danish music. And a lot about foreign music as well. Artists and labels not afraid of sharing music are the coolest. In the past I’ve been getting invaluable recommendations from José Antonio (J.A.) and Rodolfo; and still do! Big thanks to Steven of Letters Have No Arms! for designing the previous banner! Thanks to Ryan of Rikers for creating the current one! Songs for download are sometimes uploaded by me. But only when I have received permission from the artists/labels OR the songs are legally available for free elsewhere.
You can't listen to good music if your systems been stolen. Make sure you get the insurance that'll cover it! Elephant car insurance takes care of all your car insurance needs.
