Checking mails...

Been a while since the last post of this kind, but really have to reduce the number of mails in the inbox (9,024)...so no words today...just music...will add stuff if/when something interesting (and listenable) pops up...

+ The Migrant - 2811 California Street
+ B U I L_D I N G S - Eyes On Sunrise (via SoundCloud)
+ The Finger - Die! Die Superhero! (via SoundCloud)

...back again...

+ Wowser Bowser - Water Story (via SoundCloud)

...the number of mails is down to 8,902...btw...isn't Wowser Bowser a horrible band name?

From the mailbox...

Spent a couple of hours last night reducing the size of the mailbox from 3,922 to 3,697 mails. Summed up you can say I spent the time on reading, deleting, downloading, listening, deleting again (most of the time) and cheering (not that often). Here's what I have to show for my efforts:

+ Baby ScreamNicole
+ The Grand Opening - Be Steady
+ Drew Seeley - Into The Fire
+ Milks & Rectangles - Auction Block
+ Violens - Violent Sensation Descends
+ Englishman - Angels and Earthworms
+ Crushed Stars - Black Umbrellas
+ Silver Swans - Anyone's Ghost (The National Cover)

and this video for Nothing But Clues by The Migrant.

Various...

The Boombox Hearts are playing a semi-acoustic concert at Nørrebro Bryghus tonight at 9 pm. Wish I could go. Especially after watching those videos!

The very-soon-ready-to-be-shipped 7” Get-to-Bed Birds will be the last ever (I believe) release by The Lucksmiths. Out on Matinée Recordings and the title track was originally included on the magnificent Matinée Grand Prix compilation. Get-to-Bed Birds is sheer brilliance and so vintage The Lucksmiths that it’s impossible to add anything that hasn’t already been said.
+ Get-to-Bed Birds

When (not if) you visit the Matinée page to order the aforementioned single, don’t forget to order the equally soon-ready-to-be-shipped 7” single Life Returns To Normal by Northern Portrait. Interestingly the band’s rendition of Some People, which originally was recorded for the Buffetlibre Rewind project, is included on the single.
+ Some People (Cliff Richard cover)

The debut album Travels in Lowland by The Migrant is out now. The release will be supported by a series of gigs around the US, which I believe is quite rare for a Danish artist?
+ The Organ Grinder
+ In The Sun

From the mailbox...

Yay! Here we fucking go again. No words. Just plain music. I know these posts are boring shit, but today I’m doing what dozens of, hundreds of, the true number is probably closer to a thousand, people are asking me to do; “please give our music a listen” or some different version of that sentence. And since multitasking is not my kind of thing, I cannot write, listen and pretend to be working at the same time. As always I will try to only post the good stuff, though I cannot guarantee that one or two blunders won't be included.

+ Tara SimmonsI Cannot Be Saved

+ FieldedAnother Time
This one’s really, really cool! "It's a creeping march through the dark side of 80's no-wave, but with fantastic pop sensibilities". Exactly!

+ The Migrant - The Organ Grinder
Funny! Didn't know that this guy was from Denmark. Neither did I know that he used to be in The Elephants (not sure if "used to be" is the correct term, as the band is probably still around) just like Martine of C'est Tout Martine (that I mentioned two days ago)!

+ Engineers - In Praise Of More (Radio Edit)
"...the first song co-produced by Engineers and their new full-time member Ulrich Schnauss."
