~ PNAU feat. Ladyhawke - "Embrace" ( Fredrick Carlsson Epic Mix) ~ Is there such a thing as sci-fi pop? Well, if not then that's what I'm dubbing this. The synthesizers make me think of a spaceship so if they were to make a video of this version, that's where it would take place: on a cool spaceship with white interior. The song was great to being with but I really like what Carlsson did with it. It is indeed rather epic. ~ Terribly Empty Pockets - [...]
Winter is here, but yes, the days are indeed getting longer. It's a bittersweet feeling, just like this song.
På fredag börjar en ny säsong av UR-programmet Garage . Jag har fått förhandstitta på det första programmet, och jag såg bland annat två ytterst aktuella och intressanta band som båda släpper sina debutalbum i mars, nämligen Den Stora Sömnen och Two White Horses . Den Stora Sömnen talas det om lite överallt, och när jag lyssnar på Allt går åt helvete kan jag bara instämma med Anders Gustafsson i DT , att "de som [...]

A short top ten (all together) of songs that I ABSOLUTELY love that I feel like no one pays enough attention to. I am sure that I have posted most of these songs at least once before. Give them another listen. Trust me. Thanks. TPG. 1. 31knots - Welcome to Stop from The Curse of the Longest Day . 2. The Robocop Kraus - Shaking the High Towers from Tiger . 3. [...]
I haven't been putting this off . At least, that is what I keep telling myself. I went to Sweden for 10 days, 3 of those days, my friend Mark was there and 6 of those days, Chris Milk was there. While we were there, Milk received only one call from Kanye West. That's it.! This post will mostly be about my trip, music and at least, two mentions of hot dog related things. Below is a picture, Chris took of me and my friend Anna at like 5am while [...]
Die schwedische Band Isolation Years , die vor einigen Jahren mit «Open those eyes» einen veritablen Indielcubhit aus dem Hut zauberte, ist wieder da! Und die großartige Site It's A Trap stellt uns einen Song aus ihrem neuen Album «Sign, sign» gratis zur Verfügung. MP3-Download Isolation Years «Landslide»
The new Isolation Years album "Sign, sign" , one of my most anticipated records for 2007, was released today. Fortunately for me, I got an early promo so I've already had a few weeks to spend with the album. Fortunately for you too 'cuz the more I've gotten to know the music, the more I understand and appreciate it. My history of first impressions with Isolation Years have been fraught with peril in the past, so I make sure to give them a lot of time to grow on me. Case in point: I hated [...]
Bugün bahsedeceğim grup daha Pitchfork'taki yerini dahi bulamamış bir grup. Kendilerine dair söylenmiş sözün pek kısıtlı oluşuna karşın 3 başarılı albümlerinin olmasını ben neye bağlayacağımı şaşırdım açıkçası, kişisel nedenler olduğundan şüphe ediyorum. Isolation Years, grup üyelerinin isimlerinden (Jakob Nyström, Anton Berglund, Mats Hammarström, Jakob Moström, Daniel Berglund) de anlaşılacağı üzere İsveçli bir grup. Genre konseptini sevmiyorum ama genre'larına yakışır bir müzik yapmaklarına rağmen Isolation Years'i başkalaştıran şey sanırım enstrüman seçimleri. Hani aynı şeyden bir sürü grup için sözedebiliriz aslında, ama mesela Isolation Years oturup her şarkıda trompet kullanmayıp, sadece bir kaçında kullandığında çok vurgulanmış birşey oluyor bu. Anlatabildim [...]

I am, once again, posting a song I love. Why? Cause it was in my first posting ever and I had about 8 readers and they were all related to me. So I will repost this song. It's amazing. I swear. C'mon it's Swedish. Isolation Years - I'm Gonna Flip
I didn't care much for Isolation Years' second album "It's golden" when it first came out. The lead single "Open those eyes" was a huge departure from the mid-tempo folk/rock sound of "Inland traveller", the debut. Not to mention the increased promenince of religious imagery in the lyrics. Needless to say, I just wan't having it. Still, I never quite gave up on it. Good thing too, since it's now one of my most favorite albums. I believe I have mentioned the story before a long time ago, but I was on vacation doing a long drive through the woods [...]
