" - Jeff Mangum , Oh Comely It's somewhat ironic that a few hours previous to Jeff Mangum's sold-out solo show at the Union Chapel in London I was trying to recruit a new writer for the site on the pretense that " live reviews are really easy to knock-up" . I say it's ironic because I now find myself sat [...]

Last week I attended the Folk Alliance International Conference in Memphis, TN. I spent a few hectic days attending seminars, networking and playing showcases. It was a lot of fun and we met a bunch of great people there that I hope to reconnect with further down the road. It was interesting to be totally surrounded by folkies for a while. I've always counted myself into the genre but haven't quite been part of the scene if you know what I mean. Folk - being such a small genre in Sweden, I've always been a part of the [...]

Mumbai can seem like a daunting prospect. Relentlessly crowded streets and absurdly persistent street vendors can make for an intimidating first visit, but after adjusting to the pace of life in a huge Indian city it's easy to get lost in the flow of culture, glamour and nightlife bubbling beneath the city's raw exterior. My time in Mumbai was made more enjoyable by staying in the Marine Drive area, a long stretch of upmarket hotels lining part of the south-western coast of the city, many of which look out across the Arabian Sea and Chowpatty Beach — [...]

Since we heard the tragic news that one of the greatest pop artists has passed away we have been scouring the internet for any clues as to what the cause of death was. She seemed like she was on a healthier track and 48 is way too young for someone to die. First there was those pictures of her sweaty night out where Whitney Houston looked liked she had blood on her leg, we dismissed it as red wine in the beginning and then took a closer at the night. It's not like she was on a downward spiral like [...]

We've been touring for little over a month now and gone from sunny Florida to cold North Carolina. I've overcome my fear of driving the RV and since Jonas fixed the cruise control I don't mind driving at all. But there's still one thing that scares me. What if the RV falls over. Every time we're on a sharp curve on a highway exit I dread this. Even though Jonas says there's no chance of that happening I still feel like it could happen. Me and Jonas in [...]

Moscow - Hotel & Unterkunft - Hotel Vorweg: Freiwillig hätte ich mir dieses Hotel nicht ausgesucht. Die Organisation für die ich arbeite, hat Rahmenverträge mit verschiedenen Hotels in Moskau. Für meine Dienstreise im November 2011 hat es mich in den goldenen Apfel verschlagen. Das Golden Apple ist ein "Boutique Hotel". Ein Konzept, das auf den ersten Blick interessant ist. Die Zimmer sind modern und hochwertig ausgestattet und ausgestaltet. Das sieht alles ganz schön aus, verströmt aber den Charme eines besseren Einrichtungshauses. Das Hotel liegt zentral, zur nächsten [...]
