Three days have already gone since I returned from Italy, but mentally I'm still some hundred miles south enjoying the beauty and warmth of Tuscany . Should you ever get the chance to visit Siena , I cannot recommend this lovely city enough. The Piazza del Campo must be one of the most beautiful squares in the world, especially at night! I also met two guys playing in different bands, but I'll get back to that story some other time. The topic of this post obviously is a reference to the [...]
So far I've been listening to the new VETO album Crushing Digits 5 times today, and to be honest, I'm really surprised how much I'm enjoying it. Cannot say that I was all that impressed by the debut and on their sophomore effort the band remains devoted to the indie rock/electronica sound of There's A Beat In All Machines . However I still thought it was worth the gamble spending some hard earned cash on their new baby, and I'm happy I did, as (I'll keep this simple) the individual songs [...]
The Eiffel Tower , Euro Disney , The Louvre Museum etc. etc. Back again after spending 4½ eventful days in Paris playing tourists with the girls. Today's subject line doesn't refer to the trip, but is the translated title of the new BREUMM album Det Perfekte Spild Af Tid . Been spending most of the day listening to it, and the fine lyrics combined with the catchy melodies simply make the album one of this year's "must have's". Buy it via the band's Myspace page . [...]
Buy a t-shirt at doublebob.dk and support the homeless in Copenhagen. Some great designs there. According to the official webpage a total of 684 artists have applied to play at this year's Vesterbro Festival . More than a 100 of those are expected to make it through the eye of the needle, and the complete list will be published May 1. Made myself a CD last night, so I could listen to the free to download The Wolves EP by New Zeeland's [...]
A promo copy of the From St Saviour to Quickwell album by My Raining Stars is spinning merrily in the CD player today. Don't know if the band members have been on a study trip to Sweden or simply have Swedish blood in their veins, but the album is packed with those appealing and guitar driven indie pop tunes that we'd normally expect to origin from our eastern neighbour country. I can only recommend that you get yourself a copy of the album, but I really can't tell you how to do [...]
I'm back from 5 days in what turned out to be winter cold and not at all spring-like Warsaw and as always the world has been busy turning while I was away, so let's take a quick look at some of the stuff that has happened... Hits In The Car favorite Andrew Boland has a new song up called The City Lights . + The City Lights Late Night Venture front man [...]
Check the new blog of Late Night Venture front man Søren Hartvig . Seems like he's also been to a Blue Foundation concert recently. 11 weeks old and the project is still running. One Weekly Gun has posted a new track. This is one of the best ones so far. + Open up Your Eyes Chris is [...]
I've whining about those missing speakers for too long now, so the other day I finally was a bit proactive and went out and bought myself CD player. Not a big one, but nonetheless a CD player. So after 40 days of musical starvation I can finally listen to music at work again. Still cannot stream and download stuff (oh well – I can, but I cannot hear a thing), but since I belong to the last 10% of the population, who insist on buying CD's, I have no shortage of music to choose from. So far [...]
A new track by One Weekly Gun is up. + There's a Glow The new Karin Ström track Silent Night is everywhere. Here , here , here , here , here and here . + Silent Night The Storm drops to no. 3 in the Danish album chart , but continues doing surprisingly [...]
My first thought was to call this post Stormy Friday , but apparently this also happens to be the name of some adult actress /dancer/performer/whatever , so I thought changing the title was the better solution, as I really don't want this blog to be associated with that kind of stuff. It could be tempting though, as I believe those pages have multiple times more visitors than a humble music blog like mine. Ruined by Martin has finally released a new track and once again it's a [...]
This week's track over at One Weekly Gun ironically "celebrates" that the Hollywood writers are back at work again. I might be mistaken, but don't the opening seconds of the track sound like a small homage to Indiana Jones ? + Horray for Hollywood Peter recommends BREUMM . The new excellent single by Mono Taxi called We Wanna Get Some Real Fun will be out on [...]
It's just a typical Monday today. I'm tired and cannot get the brain going. Not because of hangovers or anything related to drinking or partying. Just stayed up late and had problems falling asleep last night. The lack of speakers on my work computer certainly influenced last week's Last.fm figures . A total of 89 plays must be the lowest number since my holiday in September. This September R.E.M. will be playing at Parken in Copenhagen . Not that I really care, but expect the tickets to be sold out in [...]
The One Weekly Gun project continues. + We've Got Ours The Raveonettes clones Death Valley Sleepers has uploaded a new demo track. Now there's a band that I'd really love to see playing at Vesterbro Festival . + Death Valley epo-555 band member Hans Emil [...]
Μια φορά το μήνα, θα υπάρχει ένα post με καμιά δεκαριά περίπου τραγούδια [ή έντεκα], τραγούδια από τις νέες κυκλοφορίες του μήνα, τραγούδια από κάποια από τα συγκροτήματα που παρουσιάσαμε μέσα στο μήνα και αξίζουν να γίνει μια δεύτερη αναφορά σ'αυτά, τραγούδια που μάθαμε από άλλα ελληνικά blog, τραγούδια που δε βρίσκαμε άλλη αφορμή για να παρουσιάσουμε τέλος πάντων. Επιθυμητή διάρκεια: 45+ λεπτά, όση και η διάρκεια ενός τυπικού cd ή μιας τυπικής ραδιοφωνικής εκπομπής.. Volume One : January 1. [...]
These are frustrating days. Physically I'm still here at my old job, but my brain hasn't really been part of this since my resignation. Unfortunately I have plenty of work to do and expectations are that I should get lots of stuff completed before leaving, which certainly is quite a task, when you're not motivated at all. Perhaps more frustratingly is that my blog writing is suffering as well. No blog post yesterday and no Støj På Frekvensen post today. At the same time my mailbox is getting completely cluttered (627 mails in the [...]
