There are probably a handful of Swedish artists that I just can't say any more about. I've used up all the adjectives in my book, and I can't praise them any more highly. Montt Mardie and Peace in our Time are two such bands. If you do a search over there on the right you'll find countless posts about each band. So with out further ado here's a song off the new Peace In Our Time record A Glimpse Of Happiness out now on Series Two and a Montt [...]

Montt Mardié , nom d'artiste of Swedish musician David Pagmar, is an odd one. He writes a songs about long forgotten comic heroes (Modesty Blaise), Holly Golightly, a character from Breakfast at Tiffany's ( Set Sail Tomorrow ) and adopts a Prince falsetto ( Too Many Songs Unwritten ). His rather provokingly titled debut Introducing... The Best Of for Ruffa Lane Records, the label founded by English band Lucky Soul , is a celebration of pop and blue-eyed soul. Arranged to the hilt with female backing vocals that might remind [...]
dve obrade sa dalekog severa, obe vrlo svedene uz dominantni klavir i muske vokale... Broken Social Scene frontmen Kevin Drew na svojim aktuelnim solo nastupima redovno izvodi i neke od omiljenih indie rock momenata iz devedesetih, da bi ovaj put iznenadio, otisao jos deceniju nazad i izveo pesmu koja otvara legendarni drugi album sastava New Order. sa druge strane zvezdu diskografske kuce

Hey there. There's not a lot new here, although I will update this post as new songs are released for the 2007 season. But what's here is pretty top notch; highlights include incredibly the high notes hit by Montt Mardie on "I Wish Every Day...", the Beach Boys surf-pop of Irene, Hello Saferide's instant Christmas classic "I Pod Christmas", Parker Lewis odd little indie pop dittie "X-mas Carols NYC", and the strange electronic rendering of The Knife's "Christmas Reindeer". P.S. Check out the Songs:Illinois Christmas Mix if you're at all interested in great, off-the-beaten-path [...]

I hope everybody that celebrates Thanksgiving had a great one! Now, here come the excuses: It was a short week... I was preoccupied with the great SF HQ relocation effort... and I'm cat-sitting. I've been a bad blogger this week. Holiday weeks are always tough to find time to scour the net for music, and this is one of those where the whole US seems to shut down. I hope to be all relocated to sunny Buckhead by the next time I post a mixtape, and also to have time during the move to pull another mix together. Anyway, I [...]

(No Ratings Yet) Loading ... Coraggioso il profumo del sale che, incitato dal vento, riesce a varcare la soglia della mia finestra e ad arrivarmi addosso. Il mare, che oggi nemmeno vedo, nascosto da un'umida e calda coltre di bianco soffuso. I palazzi sfumano e perdono i contorni, il caldo si erge e il sole abbaglia col riverbero della luce forte. I miei occhi sono troppo chiari per sopportare pazientemente tutto questo. [...]

Svenske Montt Mardié udgav d. 18 april dobbeltalbummet Clocks / Pretender på pladeselskabet Hybris . På CD1 står Montt Mardié selv for alle sangene, mens han på CD2 har arbejdet sammen med en række svenske navne som Frederik Hellström fra nu opløste Le Sport , Vapnet , The Legends og Hello Saferide . Det, jeg indtil videre har hørt fra pladen, har været rendyrkede popsange, som var de taget ud af det svenske Melodi Grand Prix. Dette er bestemt ikke en dårlig ting, for kvaliteten og det gode håndværk er to [...]

Not being an expert mix maker, I spent a long time debating a theme for this one. Should I do one special for Ryan’s birthday? Tracks from 2006 I felt people might be missing and needed to hear? Or all tracks from albums I picked up at the Pitchfork Music Festival record fair? Well… I [...]
First off, there are two things I have to say about this track before I can express any sort of opinion about it. One, this track borrows heavily (and I mean HEAVILY ) from the Isley Brothers' classic, "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)." And two, the piano riff that closes out this song come straight from The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry." But with that said, do I still like the song? Yes. Maybe it helps that I like both of the aforementioned classics as well, but I [...]
Det finns något lätt magiskt över låtar som är ett sorts svar på andra låtar. Montt Mardié gjorde ju en cover/översättning på Håkan Hellströms Kom igen, Lena som i hans tolkning hette Come on Eileen vilket är samma namn som låten Håkan Hellström hämtade inspiration ifrån hade. Jag behöver väl inte skriva vilken låt som Asshunter - Det heter faktiskt B O T är ett svar på? Andra bloggar om: Musik , Asshunter , [...]
Dags att ta sig inomhus igen för att se Montt Mardié . Även denna artist har ett bra mellansnack (som ni märker är jag en sucker för bra mellansnack) och även om förstasingeln High school drama är i sliskigaste laget för min del så är spelningen helt okej. "Hur många har köpt min skiva?" Tre personer räcker upp handen. "Tre stycken? Vad gör ni andra här då? Regnar det?" Andra bloggar om: Musik , Siesta , Montt [...]
