The White Stripes: Jolene
This is probably the unlikeliest of cover versions. But The White Stripes still delivers an amazing version of this country classic. Probably more than anything this shows the riches of music. Country played by a rock band or vice versa, it doesn't matter. The good song will always prevail.

REM: Automatic For The People
Recently I've been using http://www.rateyourmusic.com/ as inspiration, when searching for new (or old) music. But when I've been registrating and rating my music collection I have realized that I own so many albums that I have never listened to properly, making them impossible to rate. Thus I've (again) been inspired, but this time to investigate some of the albums that I've been the owner of for a long, long time.
One of those albums is Automatic For The People by REM, which (surprise, surprise) turns out to be a brilliant album. Among the favourite tracks are Ignoreland and Find The River.

The River Detectives: Saturday Night Sunday Morning
One of the nominees for the category "band that should have been big, but never was" is The River Detectives. This wonderful album from 1989 deserves every good appraisal it can get, but for some odd reason the breakthrough never came.
The Danish magazine Gaffa predicts that the Danish band January Jaunt has a good chance of getting "big" in 2005. Check out for yourself at MyMusic.dk. It's in Danish and you have to register. But there is plenty of free music by Danish Artists to download there.

TV-2: En Dejlig Torsdag
Not much time to search the web for new music, so again I dusted off an old CD. This time it was En Dejlig Torsdag by the Danish band TV-2. They released their first album in 1981 and amazingly they are still going strong.
This album was released in 1987 and stands as one of their biggest commercial successes. And no wonder, because it's full of great songs with pen sharp lyrics on politics, relationships and life in general.
"Lad os slippe for Uffe og Poul og Bertel og Britta"
Utterly brilliant!

Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited
At http://www.rateyourmusic.com/ this album ranks as the third best of all time. Therefore the album was a rather obvious choice for closer scrutiny, so I went to our local library and found a copy of the CD. Ripped it onto my computer, listened and was literally swept of my feeds.
It is 40 (forty!!!) years old, which means it is 4 years older than I am. But it sounds like a spring chicken, which it is not exactly the way you will describe me.
A Masterpiece!!!!!
Needless to say I immediately ordered the album! Ripping, copying, file sharing etc. is fine when learning about old or new music. But remember to say "thank you" to the artists and go buy their stuff if you like it!

I started the New Year with a nostalgic road trip and this morning I listened to Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82-92) by Tears For Fears.
It's hard to understand that 20 years have gone since the release of Songs From The Big Chair and more than 15 years since The Seeds Of Love.
I guess it's always a superb depressing way to start the New Year by wondering how fast time flies? Isn't it?
