Today I actually had the displeasure of hearing the most-recent Arcade Fire album for the first time. It was forced on me at work. And here are the tweets I tweeted as I listened to it: - "Forced to listen to the new Arcade Fire record at work. Sucks. Springsteen meets the Cars? I thought these losers were supposed to be good." - "Just because you date your bandmate doesn't mean you should let her sing on your album. @arcadefire #suburbs #thisalbumsucks." - "This one sounds like a sped-up version of Bowie's 'Slip Away' [...]
The first rock riffs cut like a sharp razorblade through all veils of distance that was present before I started to listen. And so I enter Lars Clevemans new album "Voices In My Head", a record that was released yesterday. And Lars deserves the attention he gets as I continue to listen. It's a real album, twisting and turning, surprising, going inwards and outwards. And yet it forms a whole with Lars Cleveman's special voice. And special it is. First I come to think of Iggy Pop and his special expression in the seventies [...]
Regular visitors to my blog will know that I try to plan a huge post around Christmas both as a special gift to you all and as an excuse for me to take the week off posting when I'm out being all family-friendly with my family (strange concept I know). Two years ago I put up a shitload of White Stripes B-sides, last year it was old-school rap, this year I'm wishing all of you a very Big Beat Christmas with some killer house and techno cuts, along with some industrial thrown in for good measure (and the rest of [...]
I am once again going to apologize for the lack of updates as of late. Last time I blamed my job, this time I'm blaming the holidays (and Comcast for going down last night just when I was getting ready to hit "publish"). When I apologize next week I'll blame the moon. The Leather Nun I Can Smell Your Thoughts (Remix) Falling Apart 506 (Re-Visited) I am seriously running out of things to say about this Swedish punk/goth rock band, which is [...]
My latest review: Evil Nine: They Live! - Zombie techno bitches! Now, as I was saying... Gothic Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Part 1 Part 2 The Devil Is An Englishman Okay, I don't know where to begin with this one. Gothic is a completely forgotten 1987 horror film by Ken Russell, who is best known for directing the film version of Tommy and the 1980 mindfuck Altered States . If Ken Russell [...]

Anyone want to set my car on fire so I can collect insurance? I'll repay you with a 12'' single of the Howard The Duck Theme. Seems like a fair trade to me. Nuclear Assault Final Flight Demolition I knew little about this band until this weekend, when I picked up this 12'' single because of the sheer metalness of the band's logo. I went to Allmusic to read up on them and their synopsis of the band begins with "Nuclear Assault were among thrash metal's [...]
In the US, the figurative summer starts on Memorial Day and ends on Labor Day , which is this Monday. So, in a reflective mood, I've found myself contemplating what this summer brought me and I can say "nothing and everything". For some, the approach of Fall means it's time to return to the same old grind. For others, it's an occasion of renewal. One thing for sure - it's colder. Here's some tunes to help say goodbye to the Summer. Can you think of any I might have missed? [...]
Freddie Wadling has been a Göteborg mainstay for many, many years. I've covered Cortex before , but he also did time in early punk acts such as Liket Lever and Straightjackets and various other influential acts such as The Leather Nun (today's featured mp3), Blue for Two , Fläskkvartetten / Fleshquartet , not to mention his work as a solo artist and more recently, with the group Mother . And that doesn't even touch on his work in other arenas, such as the stage. So yeah, a [...]
Quick Note: Reposts request time is over kiddos, so stop asking. I know it sucks having just missed the deadline, but take your complaints to someone that gives a shit. I'm feeling amazingly unoriginal tonight, so here are a bunch of covers. The Fever Glamorous Life Glamorous Life (Fake Fur Remix) Glamorous Life (Deepwood Remix) Never heard of these guys before but they deliver an awesome take on the Prince-written Shelia E. classic. Indie-rock needs to embrace Prince more [...]
