The best of the best. Without repeating an artist, my favorite songs I’ve listened to in 2006, Part VII. [Part I, II, III, IV, V and VI previously]. 1. Suburban Kids with Biblical Names - Rent a Wreck (mp3) This track came from a recommendation by Jeff CV. My biggest dilemma this month was that none of my favorites worked as a good lead off track. Then this fell into my lap and it worked
Okay, I've got bad news and good news for ya. What do you want to hear first? Bad news: Summer's over. I know, so unfair, so cruel. I'm officially back to school tomorrow. That means: less frequency of updates, I'll probably only be able to post in weekends. This year, I'm a senior, have to take it seriously. Bloggers have lives too, you know. I wish I can say that doing all of this, giving you all great music, is profitable, but I can't make a living out of this, at least for now, so please help me [...]
I'm From Barcelona - Let Me Introduce You to My Friends How big a tour bus do you need for a 29-member band? I have no idea of what the answer to that question might be, but I'm sure I'm From Barcelona have an idea. Featuring the songs of founding member, Emanuel Lundgren and 28 other singers and musicians, I'm From Barcelona may just be the most unlikely smash hit of the year. Well, you know smash hit for the indie sect, they probably aren't going to hit number 1 on the billboards charts, though [...]
Who am I kidding? I'm sure with all the Pitchfork Hullabaloo that you've at least heard of the band that made a hundred bloggers all say "The Swedish Polyphonic Spree" at once. I just got a hold of the I'm From Barcelona's debut CD appropiately titled Let Me Introduce My Friends, and it's pretty spectacular. The song "We're From Barcelona" is the first song you'll want to hear from this band,
And here is part deux of the New Act Week two-post feature, with the indie scene. It was supposed to be posted last week, but didn't see the light til today. Well, one more week til summer's gone. Grab them all, all 6 acts I recommend checking out. Click on their names to get to their official site. I'm From Barcelona Two good-looking sisters hailed from England, singing these glassy, shiny, polished acoustic pop melodies. Their debut single, 'I Still [...]
Twenty-Nine members cannot, grammatically speaking, utilize the singular pronoun "I'm", yet they do. But then, Tweny-Nine members of a chorale band from Sweden are not, technically speaking, from Barcelona, so there you have it. They've got a liberal dose of The Magic Numbers , with some heaping spoonfuls of Beach Boys and The Polyphonic Spree (less the wide-eyed wonder), and I think, if you're paying close enough attention, you can even notice a dash of The Langley Schools Music Project . The Magic Numbers are present in the form of the [...]
Jönköping, Sweden Why not invite twenty-eight of your closest buddies over to make an album? That’s what Emanuel Lundgren of I’m From Barcelona did, and the indie kids are eatin’ it up like cheap birthday cake! Oh it’s true - the harmonies on Let Me Introduce You To My Friends give you quite the sugar rush. The album is full of horns, strings, bells, and even a kazoo. Woo hoo! [...]
I have to admit that I didn't get into I'm From Barcelona until the last week. I had heard a few of their songs and wasn't overwhelmed. I kept meaning to listen to some more, mostly just because I loved the name (as Linda Richman would say: "I'm From Barcelona is neither a single person, nor are they from Barcelona...discuss." In fact, not only are they not a single person, they are 29 people from Sweden, all with names like Henrik Olofsson, Julie Witwicki Carlsson, and Anna Fröderberg). Still, it was only a few [...]
Se em 2005 o ano foi do Canadá com propostas como os Arcade Fire ou os Broken Social Scene este ano é da Suécia!! Nunca mais teremos de olhar para aquela bandeira e só nos lembrarmos dos Abba!! 2006 é o ano em que a Suécia ensina o resto da Europa como fazer musica!! Vejam: (Mp3) The Knife - Still Light (Mp3) Love is all - Busy Doing Nothing (Mp3) I'm From Barcelona - We're from
12th Edition. Mainly focused on this radical collective (you know I love those) band, I'm From Barcelona . This 29 piece band headed by a man not from Barcelona, but from Sweden. Pitchfork loved the album they released (I cant say its as solid as they think, but I LOVE some songs. I personally prefer a limited EP/Mini Album the release in 2005 called "Sing!!". Let's get claptastic with these kid from Barcelona: IFB- We're From Barcelona Sing [...]
Okay, so I'm aware that Summer's beginning to wind down, but I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. I've created a mix, using the most special of ingredients, known to be very powerful against the threat of fall and it's plans to overtake Summer. Join me in listening to this mix all day long and riding Summer out as long as we can! P.S. It's not all twee, but most of it is, so whatever. You can download the big boy .ZIP file, or if you're into having yourself a buffet, you can download all songs seperately [...]
I'm From Barcelona ( Site ) ( Pitchfork Review ) ( Album ) Pitchfork recently gave this new album, Let Me Introduce My Friends , by 29 Member I'm From Barcelona Best New Music Status. I agree it is really great stuff. I'm From Barcelona - We're From Barcelona
One of my latest picks is the band I'm From Barcelona with their album " Let Me Introduce My Friends " which was released in June this year. The band has 28 or 29 members (depending on whether I can count or not properly) and they're from Sweden. Lead by Emanuel Lundgren (who I see a similarity to Ron Burgundy played by Will Ferrel in the movie Anchorman) who does the main vocals and writes the songs. It originally started in his apartment with friends and instruments such as banjos, accordians and kazoos then later turned into a [...]
MP3: I'm From Barcelona - We're From Barcelona This entries' song is from I'm From Barcelona , a bunch of Swedes that my friend ( and Swedish music provider ) Matt got me into.

Ni har väl inte glömt Mickes Måndagslista? Jag hade gjort det.. Det är några månader sedan jag senast hade en måndagslista så det är minst sagt på tiden att jag skriver en ny. Visserligen har det inte blivit så mycket bloggande på sistone (dagens Siestaposter är undantag) men jag borde lyckas klämma fram en lista över veckans bästa händelser för det. 1. (NY) Siesta - Festival Hässleholm bjöd på en trevlig festival med massor av bra musik. Imponerande startfält med tanke på att Popaganda [...]

Det är kul med kommuner som satsar på musik. Den senaste i raden av kommuner som gör mig glad är Husqvarna som i slutet av april startar upp en ny festival, kallad Popadelica.
