Die physischen Record-Store-Day-Mixtapes waren rares Gut. Jetzt gibt es das gute Stück als Download. Am Record Store Day wird nicht nur das Schallplatten-Shopping gehuldigt, sondern auch das Verschenken von Mixtapes - zumindest bei 78s. In Zürich und Winterthur wurden deshalb eine auserlesene Käuferschaft mit der "Happy Record Store Day"-CD von 78s belohnt. Wer keines der seltenen Schönheiten gekriegt hat, darf sich folgende Songs auf den heimischen Computer hieven: 1 Acid House Kings / This Heart Is A Stone [...]
Den gode Jonas Villumsen fortsætter sin stilfærdige march mod toppen af barometerlisten . Han ligger nu nr. 3, så hvad dælen nøler i efter...stem, stem, stem da for pokker! Det nye Helsinki Poetry album Transport er fedt. SUPER fedt. Gider ikke forklare hvorfor...så'n er det bare...nemlig! Tjek i øvrigt lige "køkken" udgaven af Saigon ... Far er [...]
My “best of 2012″ is coming to its end. Last words to some Swedish artists I love. All of them answered three questions from mine about: What they liked in music this year, especially within Sweden. What they did ... Continue reading

Güneşin bir parçasıyım, tıpkı gözlerimin benim bir parçam olması gibi. Toprağın bir parçasıyım, ayaklarım bunu çok iyi biliyor; kanım da denizin bir parçası... Sadece bana, bir tek bana mahsus ve mutlak olan hiçbir şey yok. Ruhumun haricinde. Ama ruhumun da kendi kendine, kendi başına bir varoluşu yok. O sadece denizin üstünde parıldayan güneş ışıklarıdır.

Brett and I met up a little before 9:30pm at KSVR , spent a few minutes catching up, then organized the selection of records we would play that night. It was a first for me - having a co-host - and it turned out to be a blast. Friday nights from 10pm to midnight can be lonely and I don't get many calls, so having someone else in the studio to talk to was definitely an enjoyable experience. For this evening, we chose a theme of the 90s, courtesy my [...]

tobias isaksson the man behind irene, laurel music and more recently azure blue plays 80’s dj on this remix for former labrador labelmates acid house kings. fantastic version, wouldn’t mind a full album of this. twee glee.

Swedish indie-pop veterans Acid House Kings have been enjoying a resurgence lately. They just reissued most of their back catalogue, as well as invited friends and fans to remix their most popular track "This Heart is a Stone" (it was on a Korean ice cream commercial featuring Drew Barrymore don't cha know). Out of the whopping number of 12 remixes, here are my two cherry picks. The Perfect Nines mix goes for the jangly C86 Sarah Records sound which I adore, while the Sunny Intervals opt for relaxing Sunday-morning vibes. [...]

This show ended up being a bit of a favorites show; we began with a few favorite tracks from the past few years by bands hailing from Sweden including Acid House Kings and their track "Do What You Wanna Do" (which remains one of my all-time favorites. And we continued with several favorites form 2012 thus far - the phenomenal "Ivory Coast" by Pure Bathing Culture; tracks by Cloud Nothings, Exlovers and Gap Dream; and from last year A Classic Education. Also making an appearance were some newbies: a pair of great WOODS tracks off their new album [...]

Tweet To mark the 20th year since their first record, Pop, Look And Listen, this week saw the re-release on vinyl of three albums by seminal Swedish indie pop band Acid House Kings. The band, founded in 1991 by Joakim Ödlund and brothers Niklas and Johan Angergård back in 1992, were joined in 2001 by Julia Lannerheim and have released just five albums in total, the slow pace very much influenced by their many side projects (Poprace, Club 8, The Legends, Double Dan, [...]

The Sun is bright today? Is it rainning? You broke up, found a new love? Lost something or gain something? You're bored with your life? You are happy to live the life you live? You don't like music? If you do, you are not reading. You do like music? That's why you are here? You like complex lyrics, melodies and arrangements? You like them simple? The bands you like have some imperfections, but still you like them, because they do have the imperfections? Do you prefer something that you would call perfect? You want to cry? Want to laugh? You [...]

Don’t judge a book by its cover right? (Ms. Moochler, my favorite English teacher in the world, just cringed. She always said one should never start an essay with a cliché and she’s right. Sorry! Chalk it up to trying to write blog posts on uninspired Mondays ...) Anyway... as poor form as using a cliché may be, I do think this one rings true for Acid House Kings. When I first saw the band’s name, I immediately assumed it would be some sort of grunge-punk-rock acid-influenced bass-pumping sound machine. Not so. In fact, the Swedish trio produces some of [...]

Visiting the parents is often a stressful time. Despite their incessantly busy schedules, they have actually learned to relax in retirement despite their hectic lifestyle. I visited them two weekends ago now. Hence the absence of an August 17 radio show recap; there was none. Instead, I participated in my brother's wedding. Having just one brother, this was a first. And I'm very excited to have a new sister. He and Diane dated five years before their engagement, just like Andi and myself. (Their engagement story, [...]

Wow...for a second there I thought it was New Order ! Azure Blue remixes Acid House Kings and impressively makes them sound even lovelier than usual...been a while since I listened to the original version and a bit surprised how different the remix manages and still being able to improve on the appeal of the original... Grab the original version... + This Heart is a Stone

En Suède, Acid House Kings, créé en 1991, a fait vibrer toute une génération par sa musique, ses chansons : des mélodies légères et accrocheuses. De la pop sucrée. Credo du groupe : faire un album tous les cinq ans. Ce qu’il fit avec un succès grandissant au fil des albums. Les fans ont suivi. Et voilà que la maison de disques Labrador Records a décidé d’éditer à nouveau trois albums du groupe : Advantage Acid House Kings (1997), Mondays are Like Tuesdays and Tuesdays are Like Wednesdays (2002) et Sing Along with Acid House Kings [...]

I'm in a reflective mood. Thinking back on my youth, there's so much that, at the time, I wished I could do. Looking at my life now, I think I'm right where I want to be in terms of who I am and what I am doing with my life. It's funny. You think about all the restrictions there are in life; I'm finding that I have more freedom as an adult to do what I want when I want to do it than ever before. I guess that's the benefit of being [...]
