Dream-Pop-Heroes Moi Caprice are currently in the studio working on some new songs as well as alternative versions of their hits. This all will go onto a singles collection which is set for a release later this year. According to the band's latest MySpace-blog , the collection will contain fourteen singles, nine re-recordings and two new songs, all on a double CD. That sounds like a nice package, even for fans that already own every release from Moi Caprice (like me... :) ). [...]
A while ago, I've told you about a little project that I'm working on, and finally, it's ready to be released into the wild! Just a quick recap: In a music forum I frequently visit, I was asked to make a list of what I think are the best artists from Denmark. At first, I've just made the list, and then added links to the artists' websites and whenever possible, free MP3s. I was quite pleased with the result, and started thinking about taking it a bit further. I thought it would be nice for people outside [...]
This is part three in a Scandinavian music series.... by Avi Roig --- DOWNLOAD: Funky Nashville - Hitch A Ride (MP3) DOWNLOAD: Funky Nashville - Gone away (MP3) Funky Nashville 's music is so completely misguided and awful , they might actually be worth seeing.

It is now official - at least according to British radio station Planet Rock - that Pink Floyd 's epic Comfortably Numb has the best guitar solo ever! The listeners of the station were asked to name the best guitar solos, and the Floydians came out as a worthy winner... not that I didn't know that before. No use to discuss the meanings of such lists however. Here's the top 10: 01. Pink [...]
Funky Nashville. The name alone screams “DON’T LISTEN TO ME!†This coming from the perspective of someone who has listened to countless “funky†country bands in America’s Midwest, all dripping of country-fried arrogance, all finding it troublesome to muster any real sense of musical identity. What if, just what if, this band [...]

If you find any of these interesting then let me know in the comments and i'll expand on them for you. Enjoy. Ennui | "Cry" - This EP was pretty good Funky Nashville | "Hitch a Ride" - Two words that should never be used to name a band. [...]
Funky Nashville - Hitch A Ride news flash: Nashville is not in Kentucky. in case you didn't know, it's in Tennessee. finding this out was a cringe-worthy moment ( thanks, Daniel ) but now i know, and i'll probably still make the mistake again regardless. but now - Funky Nashville? my eyes are rolling. painfully cheesy name, huh? block o' cheese. cheez-whiz style, oh yeah. but the truth is, this band is prime aged cheddar, NY's Dean & DeLuca's style. dairy metaphors aside, i [...]
Funky Nashville Hitch a Ride Label: 215 Records Funky Nashville are neither funky, nor Nashville-sounding. But with horn accentuations, lush background vocals, and a cool, sauntering lyrical delivery set to a Wild West galloping drum beat, Hitch a Ride's title track single kicks off the Denmark group's first American debut with influences galore. As far as influences, we've got Roy Orbison singing with New Order; Bono singing karoake; and Johnny Cash singing with Dick Dale and [...]
