Allerede lidt over en uge inde i 2012 en stærk kandidat til årets danske plade landet! Mads Björn går en lys fremtid i møde som musiker. Ellers er der ingen retfærdighed til. Så er det sagt! I morgen den 9. januar udgiver han pladen Monolith, en magisk, stemningsfuld plade med 11 alternative popsange. Det drømmende udtryk er gennemgående på tværs af både rock, world og folk. Spændvidden er altså stor. Monolith er indspillet i et hus nær stranden i Thorsminde ved Vesterhavet. Mads Björn står på imponerende vis bag alle instrumenter og stemmer [...]
Had the worst hangovers in a hundred year (or more) yesterday. I really ought to know better than consuming alcohol as if I was still in my teens, but since I had a terrific time while drinking Saturday evening/night I believe it was worth it. In between the drinking we went to see Carpark North and though I doubt I'll ever be a true fan of the band, it's impossible not to be amazed how they bring everything to the table. The crowd loved it and the band seemed to enjoy every minute and [...]
Time for Day Two of the Skyship Academy character music week! Yesterday I focused on one of the Academy's trainees. Now it's time to journey down to the surface and talk about who's working on the other side of the Pearl Wars: CASSIUS STEVENSON Who: fifteen-year-old training with the Unified Party to become a Pearlhound ** the favorite student of head honcho Madame, who considers him an adopted son ** after he comes in contact with Jesse Fisher, something inside him explodes... literally Songs: [...]

30. Marina & The Diamonds - Hollywood Her calling card in a year full of great Marina singles. This was the song that finally convinced me that she was worth a listen. So glad it did. 29. Alcazar - Headlines Their second Melodifestivalen entry in as many years, this string-laden disco track was unfairly shut out from the finals. [...]
It's " play-Danish-music-day ", so there'll be nothing but music by Danish artists on the radio today. When scanning the playlist I cannot help being somewhat impressed by the number of fine artists we have in our small country! Every morning when the girls and I are having breakfast the radio is on, and from time to time it does happen that some really fine stuff is aired, thus helping to make the start of the day a good one. The "On the radio this morning" posts are my humble [...]
"I'm gonna break this" Denmark's Carpark North have always been a hit or miss band for me. They've released one of my favorite songs (and videos) of the decade with Human , and their string of singles has generally been very strong. But, I've never been able to connect with an entire album (and lord, how I've tried!). So I'm kind of psyched that they're releasing their first greatest hits. It's bound to be an incredibly strong overview, and it's bolstered further by this, their new single. Burn It is my favorite song [...]
Read about the next release from Sweden's Kent ! Watch the video to the new version of Carpark North 's hit Human (MOTM likes the old one muuuuch better!) Listen to an excellent remix of I [...]
![[Looking Back] Carpark North – Human](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2128585_lg.jpg)
I stumbled across this song today as I was shuffling through my music collection and I can't believe its been so long since I had first listen to Human by Carpark North. This song was by far my favorite song for a good while and it is a shame that there has not been any new releases from this Danish band. The songs marching rhythms and engaging riffs really make you want to tear some shit up. Martin De Thurah, director of the music video did an excellent job capturing the emotions conveyed in the song. [...]
Yes, it's another of these weeks where nothing goes as planned. I'm not going to switch to bitching mode though, but instead give you a quick overlook on what has been going on here: Degrees have a new song, and I'm proud to share it with you. And yes, it is great! Degrees - Can't Walk Through This Alone (MP3) Been listening a lot to the new [...]
Okej, Danmark vann rättvist. Eller jag tror i alla fall det, missade nämligen straffet, målet och en hel del annat i inledningen av matchen på grund av en bar som "hade kanalen igår ju". VM utan Sverige ser det ju ut att bli. Vafan, ska man hålla på Danmark då eller? Trentemøller - Always something better Teitur - We still drink the same water Teitur - The girl I don't know Teitur är visserligen från [...]

Her er fire tracks, som i hvert fald har holdt mig i godt selskab med eksistentialisme, livsværdier og Kierkegaard i dag. Vi snakker nyt materiale fra Telefon Tel Aviv . Deres album ' Immolate Yourself ' udkommer den 26. januar 2009. Derudover har vi lidt nyt guf fra danske Naughty Nites , som denne gang har lavet et SebastiAn -inspireret remix af Carpark North's nye single. Turntablism-pioneerne fra Birdy Nam Nam har også haft et nyt album undervejs. Det har fået titlen 'Manual For Successful Rioting' og udkom i dag. Deres [...]

Photography "Emergency Landing In Iceland No. 1" by Tsuru When it comes to geography, I'm woefully ignorant, like, extra super ignorant. Even here in the states, I've got a basic handle on the more obvious states, California's over there, Texas is down there, I was just in Arizona, it's kinda in between the other two, Florida (my homeland) is America's wang hanging low and lazy.... That's about it. International's worse, well except for Canada & Mexico, I've pretty much got them located in my mind, but it starts to get hazy [...]
Musikparlamentet, a new Danish music organization created to foster better communication within the industry, is holding their first open roundtable discussion/debate on the subject "Art vs. Business" on October 22 at Borups Koncertsal in Copenhagen. The panel will consist of Ole Dreyer (EMI Publishing), Henrik Böwadt (Nokia Music), Rune Kiowsky (IUM), Søren Balsner ( Carpark North ) with Henrik Marstal as moderator and the bands Oh Land and Boom Clap Bachelors providing post-discussion entertainment. More info at Bandbase: http://www.bandbase.dk/Blog/Ba gOmMusikbranchen/36126/Musikpa rlamentet-ny-debatforening-for -musik/ (in Danish)
The fact that I prefer the physical CD's to digital downloads has been discussed multiple times before in this blog, so no point in bring that one back to life. But I've got to admit that the digital downloads have at least these two advantages. Storing all you CD's can be quite a challenge and to me it represents an ever-growing problem. Furthermore the digital downloads don't pile up on your desk reminding you about all the music you really ought to listen to. What's stored on your computer is somehow easier to ignore. So what's brewing? [...]
#1 Hits from Another Planet has a new Carpark North track: http://alienhits.blogspot.com/ 2008/09/carpark-north-bring-li ghts-if-you-take.html Definitely agree with them being an inconsistent singles act, though I think I'd be hard-pressed to find enough quality songs I like to fill an album.
Carpark North - Bring The Lights "If you take my hand then I know you'll understand" Earlier this month Danish band Carpark North quietly released their third album of electro-flavored rock, called Grateful . As with their previous releases, I love some of the tracks and don't like others. I could easily pick songs from each of their albums and create one stunning piece of work, but for some reason the [...]
