RIP Bedroom Records

Sep 30, 2009, 11:58am SwedesPlease

For awhile back in 2004-2006 it seemed Bedroom Records could do no wrong. They had indie cred with many of their releases, as well as a near hit with Friday Bridge's single "It Girl". But no sooner had the outside world started to pay attention than the label closed up shop. In the aftermath there were rumblings of mismanagement and missing royalties. In a short time though the label burned bright as a beacon of Swedish indie (lofi) rock success. Here are a few of the bands/songs from that time. [...]

The Best (Charmingest) Swedish Song of the Year (plus something new from Pinto, and a remix of Marit Bergman by Monster Bobby)

Sep 8, 2008, 9:47am SwedesPlease

Shit! How do you say that in Swedish? Busy, busy, busy, and things are falling through the virtual cracks. Here's an update with more reader recommendations. Goddamn I think I like this new format. - Erik Hallden has listened to a ton of British pop. I hear so much of Jazz Butcher that it's uncanny. Erik's new song "If I Ever Get Married" somehow name drops John Cale, Lou Reed and Harry Bellefonte (somehow rhyming Bellefonte with Del Monte and John Cale with cocktail). [...]
