Gawky synthpop scamps quivering in corners Bergen's Casiokids may once have been although in the wake of their third and debatably most muscular full-length, Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen, they return to the tenebrous caverns of London's underground to sell out Rivington Street's swankiest subterraneous railway tunnel, Cargo. It's our inaugural Eat Your Own Ears show of 2012, and it left us stupefied; asinine beam indelibly etched from ear to ear; genuinely thankful an irrepressible festive greed never resulted in the gnawing of aural receptors... Up first however are FAMY [...]
day 03 – a song that makes you happy Hemstad - Sommar i Göteborg "..." There are certain bands and certain songs which I only ever listen to when conditions are ideal. Hemstad is one of them. So Hemstad imbue the summer. Hemstad imbue tropicalia. Hemstad imbue smiles. Imbuement is inspiration. And inspiration is half the battle.
Scandinavian music's great. Sweden in particular. If you haven't dived headlong into Hemstad yet, your life's incomplete. 3 years ago I chucked Paypal funds in their direction to be greeted with a jiffy bag brimming with glitter and wondrously harmonious joy. Please don't compare them to Los Campesinos! Ever since, I've been meaning to redeem my coupons for Swedish obsession by actually getting over there but I never got round to cashing them in. So, in the meantime, making do with the musical fruits of their labour is the kasabian to the oasis. If that makes [...]

I love Hemstad . I want them to keep making fantastic songs and performing ace shows forever more. Hemstad - Tuff Ungdom That is all. Bye. Actually no, following on from yesterdays posting of one of my many favourite songs from times past, here's another, this time from [...]
I came across this band the other day, and I cannot say how glad I am that I clicked on that slightly suspicious-looking hyperlink. Phew ... this one turned out to be a gem. Yeah, the Swedes have given us a few too many bands, but I'll let Hemstad slip in through the back door here. Way too good. They make this adorable guitar pop (Orange Juice/Aztec Camera, no?) that sweetens you up and is exciting ... and "sometimes they go, like, 'doo doo doo' and stuff." Right on. Check out the [...]
I honestly don't think Millenium Cable can do anything right. They screwed up my bill last month, then, after giving them a solid two weeks notice to turn off my internet for August, they did...but then didn't? I turned on my computer today to work on my project and my aim buddy list pops up. That doesn't happen when I don't have internet. So, somehow they turned my internet back on. I don't know, I'm confused, but I don't care anymore. Their mistake and all I'm paying is the disconnection fee (a huge ripoff), [...]
